Consumer Description

I CURRENTLY OWN A METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED 2001 FORD E150 VAN WITH A 4.6 LITER MOTOR. I HAVE APPROX 78000 MILES ON VEHICLE, AND RECENTLY STARTED HAVING SPARK PLUG ISSUES. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS WITH ALUMINUM HEADS CAN POSSIBLY RUIN MY VAN DUE TO THE PLUGS BLOWING OUT OF THE HEADS. AT THIS TIME I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO BY A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AND BASIC AS A SPARK PLUG. DUE TO THE LOCATION OF MOTOR IN VAN THE REPAIR IS COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING. THE MORE RESEARCH I DO WITH THIS ISSUE I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW. *TR
