Consumer Description

AUGUST 2009 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 1999 F-250 SUPER DUTY WITH 6.8L V-10 AND SHE HEARD A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS THE 4TH CYLINDER ON PASSENGER SIDE HAVING THE PLUG BLOWN OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND FIXED FOR $500.THEY USED A HELICOIL INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE HEADS WHICH IS WHATG FORD RECOMMENDS. OBVIOUSLY LOST THE COIL PACK TOO. I HEARD AFTERWARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL OF THE TRITON MOTORS. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE TO GO AND DON'T REALLY TRUST THE VEHICLE FOR LONG TRIPS ANYMORE. THANKFULLY NO FIRE. THIS REPORT IS LISTED LATE AS I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS THREAD. HOPEFULLY FORD WILL BE FORCED TO FIX THESE IN THE FUTURE AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER. *TR
