Consumer Description

I WAS MERGING INTO THE RIGHT LANE OF THE FREEWAY TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND MY TRUCK DECELERATED AND CAUSED THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO SWERVE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE THIRD SPARK PLUG ON THE PASENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE ALUMINIUM CYLINDER HEAD. THE CYLINDER PLUG OPENING WAS BORED OUT AND TAPPED. AN INSERT WAS THEN PUT INTO PLACE AND THE SPARK PLUG REPLACED. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS WAS ~$450. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURENCE ON THE FORD TRITON ENGINES AND THAT FORD IS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO AVOID TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS APPARENT DESIGN DEFECT. THIS STINKS!!!*AK
