Consumer Description

IN EARLY DECEMBER 2006 WE WERE OUT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP FOLLOWED BY A SHARP DECREASE IN POWER AND FOLLOWING POP SOUNDS. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE ENGINE. AT FIRST I JUST NOTICED THE COIL HAD BLOWN OFF THE HEAD. I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN A WEIRD OCCURRENCE WITH A BAD COP BUT LATER FOUND THAT THE SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE #6 CYLINDER DESTROYING THE COP. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO MY RESIDENCE AND THE NEXT MORNING I LOOKED IT OVER. THE SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT STRIPPING THE THREADS. AFTER LOOKING ON THE NET, I FOUND THAT THIS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE. *JB
