Consumer Description

MY 2000 FORD F-250 WITH A TRITON V-10 MOTOR IS BLOWING SPARK PLUGS. IT HAS BLOWN 5 SPARK PLUGS NOW OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, AND THIS IS ON A MOTOR INSTALLED BY FORD. SO IF THERE CLAIM OF IMPROPER TORQUE IS TRUE THEN IT WAS THEM WHO IS TO BLAME. I ALSO READ MANY CONSUMER REPORTS SAYING MANY FORD MODEL ENGINES DO THIS FROM 2000 TO 2004. IT IS VERY UNSAFE, FUEL STILL KEEPS PUMPING EVEN WHEN THE SPARK PLUG IS GONE. YOU CAN SMELL THE FULE COMING OUT VERY STRONGLY AND FIRES HAVE OCCURED UNDER THE HOOD DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *CN
