Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 F-250 WITH 62,000 MI. AND HAD ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS BACK OUT AND STRIP OUT THE LAST FEW THREADS. I SPOKE TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THE 5.4 ENGINE IS KNOWN FOR THIS AND THAT FORDS ONLY FIX TO IT WAS TO REPLACE THE HEAD AT @ $1500.00 PER HEAD. HE REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT DEVISED A CHEAPER FIX OF RETAPPING THE PLUG HOLE. THIS MECHANIC SAID THAT HE PERSONALLY HAS DONE 5 TO INCLUDE MY TRUCK.*AK
