When did you buy that 2010. Is the battery still under warranty? Seems kinda short on battery life.
Man up. Fight the GOOD fight.

Batteries are normally covered under the standard warranty. The heat last summer was pretty hard on them and it is hard to predict their life cycle. I had one in a Ford go bad within 9 months and I have had them last 6 years.

Like said should still be under warranty especially since you've only had it a year and less than three months. I'd call the dealer and let him know here it comes.

The plugs are one piece when they go in but have been known to twist off in the head upon removal. b
If I'm not fishing or hunting I'm hunting a place to fish or hunt.

well i hate to bear the bad news that is a 2 piece plug and looks like the bottom piece is still in there,post a pic ao the plug that came out of that hole. by no means will it run like that,and u better have the right extractor to get that out, if not u can end up buying a head, oh yeah on some ford products u have to remove the eng. or body to get the heads off.

Champion come out with a 1 piece plug that looks like the 2 piece. Others may have as well.

You're not the bearer of bad news, because that's not a 2 piece plug.
