    He and a couple of others in the office played softball in one of the more competitive leagues. The kind with one home run rules. All played high level baseball (one's kid is at university on a baseball scholarship. D1 baseball).

    I think he was gonna be pissed if the tradition of baseball in all his boys.

    Did you fix it? Possible maybe it just got old enough or was knocked off by a bump or something. When my spark plug blew and became loose last year, it was a bad knocking sound as the spark plug was literally just seated in the slot and free-bouncing around.

    Bro you are right. That’s exactly what happened. It came loose and was bouncing around. I tightened it this morning and all is good now. Appreciate the knowledge bro!

    is yours a 4 or 6 cylinder? My old 4 banger blew a spark plug out and dented the underside of the hood. Had to have it heliocoiled.

    3.4 6 Cylinder, I was surprised it made it 150 miles round trip in 105 degree heat that day. I got lucky.

    Awesome! Glad you found the source and fixed it! That rattle sound is awful… sounds like the engine is about to go. Lol

    Probably not, but maybe I'll swing an overnight trip somewhere on Saturday (or maybe Friday and Saturday) and hit it on the way back to the Bay.

    The usual
    Signal peak is doable as the mud pit dried up a bit, it did get moved from moderate to hard on alltrails.
