Consumer Description

I NOTICED A TAPPING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE APPROXIMATELY 2 DAYS BEFORE I EJECTED (BLEW OUT) A SPARK PLUG WHILE CRUISING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. I CHECKED MY OIL THE DAY BEFORE THE BLOW-OUT AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS FINE. I WAS TRAVELING ON BUSINESS AT THE TIME AND FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A HOTEL A COUPLE OF MILES DOWN THE ROAD. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD TO PAY $800.00 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC WHAT CAUSED THE SPARK PLUG TO BLOW OUT, HE SIMPLY REPLIED THAT IT HAPPENS A LOT WITH "THESE FORD ENGINES". *TR
