Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 F-250 TRUCK WITH A V-10. RECENTLY RETURNING FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER. SPEED LIMIT FOR THIS SECTION WAS POSTED FOR 75 MPH. LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME FOR APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES WITH A STRONG ODOR OF GAS, WAS WORRIED OF POTENTIAL ENGINE FIRE BUT NEEDED TO GET HOME WITH MY TRAVEL TRAILER AND ATV. DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE ALL THIS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER INTERNET RESEARCH SEAMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD TRITON MOTOR DESIGN. POOR ENGINEERING. *TR
