  1. I know, right. I didn't realize that piece came off the plug until it was too late. I'm going to order this today: http://www.unbeatablesale.com/wtd7901.html?utm_source=froogle4&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=WTD7901 Hopefully that will get it. If this doesn't work, the truck will either be going over a cliff or towed to you. Here's the kicker. Going back to the reason this began. I've checked vacuum lines. Plugs are good. You replaced the fuel filter (and plugs) just a few months ago. What's left? The PCV valve, right? Well, guess what. You can't remove it from the valve cover. The valve cover has to be removed to check the PCV valve.
  2. Yeah, the terminal nut fell back down into the same spark plug hole that the plug came out of. It's on the passenger side, 3rd hole back. This is an 04 F150 with the 5.4.
  3. I've looked and can't find one that's small enough. It has to be smaller than 1/4".
  4. Does anyone have one of these I could borrow tomorrow? It would need to be able to fit in a spark plug hole. Let me know. Thanks, Mike
  5. Got a magnetic pickup tool, but it's too big to fit in the spark plug hole. Anyone have a thin magnetic pickup tool?
  6. Just found out the piece that screws on top of the spark plug is metal. I'm heading to Advanced Auto to see if they have a thin, very flexible magnetic reacher thing.
  7. Is that piece that screws on top of the spark plug aluminum? If so, a magnet won't pick it up. How else would I get it out without removing the valve cover?
  8. My truck developed a miss. I checked vacuum lines, connections, air filter, etc. Now I'm checking plugs. I'm down to the 2nd to last plug. I pull the coil pack thing off and loosen the plug. I have to use one of those long reacher grabber things to pull the plug out. I was stupidly twisting the grabber thing counter-clockwise as I was trying to remove the plug. Evidently, I twisted the thing off the top of the plug and didn't realize it. I went to put the grabber thing back on the plug and caught a glimps of something come off the grabber. I didn't think anything about it at the time. I thought it was a figment of my imagination. I go ahead and pull the plug. That's when I realize what happened. I am almost positive that the top thing off the plug fell into the passenger side valve cover. I can't find it anywhere. Is the valve cover going to have to come off? Do you think it could have possibly fell all the way down into the pan? What should I do? Thanks, Mike
  9. Not really for tiny dents, but larger dents it does.
