Yea they're scratch offs, I may do that (but what are the chances I give my mom the winning ones? oooo I'd be so upset..) I'm a bit greedy when it comes to free lottery tickets..

Tapped the hole (carefully) and used the heli-coil insert. That was at like 120K, when I sold the car this year, running great with over 215K. If it comes down to that, I can give you more detail

@Red - Awesome on the prize basket win!!!

And as far as the carnival guy, two words "Gambling Addiction". Seriously, lost $300, OH but that was NOT enough, he went home to get another $2300??? Go home, stay home!! I'm not arguing if the games are rigged or not, but cut your loses. Geez, this is NOT Vegas!!

Turns out I lucked up...and it tightened right back up... Its in a difficult position and takes a universal and a longer extension to get to it with the steering column in the way.... Looks like Im gonna have to keep an eye on it!
Ive had the truck for 7 yrs and it has 113,000 miles on it now.. (I bought it with 56,000). and I believe I had the plugs changed at 80,000...
Lets just hope it was just a "freak" thing!
But should it become an issue... I will definately contact about useing the heli coil method!
Thanks Jason...

Good Evening Amy!
Thanks for checking in!
Hows the Mustang...????
Did you get everything done that you wanted too?

Nope - didn't get the oil changed. That needs to happen Saturday because (if it doesn't rain) I bring the Monte back home on Sunday (it's still hibernating in my Dad's garage).
