Consumer Description

I WAS IN MY FORD F250 V10 TRITON SITTING IDLE AT A RED LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP UNDER MY HOOD WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY A STEAM ENGINE SOUND WHEN I ACCELERATED. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT MY FACTORY SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE HEAD. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS HAPPENS OFTEN WITH FORD TRITON MOTORS. THE MECHANIC USED A HELICOIL TYPE TOOLING TO RETAP THE HOLD AND FIT A COLLAR IN IT THAT WOULD ACCEPT A NEW SPARK PLUG. THE COST WAS ABOUT $300 BUT THE FACT THAT THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN FOR THIS PARTICULAR MANUFACTURER SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY SHOULD BARE THE COST FOR EACH OCCURRENCE. *TR
