Consumer Description

BLEW #2 PLUG OUT OF CYLINDER HEAD ON A FORD F 250 V10 TRITON ENGINE AT 36K MILES AND THEN RECENTLY AT 85 K MILES. PROBLEM LIES IN THE MANUFACTURING/DESIGN BY FORD. SPARK PLUGS HAVE FEW THREADS TO HOLD THEM IN THE CYLINDERS. ALSO ALUMINUM HEADS WON'T HOLD THE PLUGS. THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORDS. WHY NO RECALL????? I HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEAD TOTALING NEARLY $ 4000.00 TO FIX THIS! TALKED TO 3 OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS LOCALLY, AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD PLUGS BLOW OUT OF THEIR FORD TRUCKS TOO! WHAT GIVES????? THIS IS SAD AS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND FORD STILL FEELS LIKE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE!!! *TR
