Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD F250 WITH A 6.8L V10. IT HAS 149,489 MILES ON IT. I AM NO SHADE TREE MECHANIC, I HAVE REBUILT ENGINES, TRANSMISSIONS AND TROUBLE SHOOT CPU?S . I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT THEN MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN. AS SOON AS I MADE THE TURN THE #4 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT. MY FATHER HAS A 2002 F250 WITH THE 6.8L V10 AND HIS BLEW OUT THE #1 AND ABOUT 300 MILES LATER IT BLEW OUT THE #5 PLUG. IT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHEN IT BLEW OUT THE #5. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! THERE HAVE BEEN TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAUSE IS NOT DUE TO INCORRECT TORQUE ON THE PLUG. BUT DUE TO A COMBINATION OF TWO THINGS, 1. THE AMOUNT OF THREADS THAT HOLD THE PLUG IN PLACE.2 THE AMOUNT OF COMPRESSION THAT THE ENGINE PRODUCES. *TR
