I took my Dodge truck to the shop they changed my spark plugs and my fuel pump after I picked up my truck I was driving the next day and lost all my power. took it back to the shop they tell me the cylinder number 6 is gone engine is no good. my question is, it is something that they could have done while changing my spark plugs they also changed my oil? There was nothing wrong with my engine before that.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Something sounds fishy. If your truck was running good and then after they did that work it's not running right?? I would definitely take it up with them. It's a possibility maybe they stripped or ruined the threads of cylinder #6 spark plug in the cylinder head when they were removing the old one or installing the new plug.I would hold them liable.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
