Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 FORD F250 WITH A TRITON 5.4L V8 ENGINE. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR IT BLEW OUT A SPARK PLUG FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I'VE FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS DUE TO THE FUEL VAPOR THAT WAS COMING FROM THE EXPOSED CYLINDER. THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAB WAS SUBSTANTIAL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF $4521. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT OR WORSE FROM A FIRE CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM. *TR
