Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DOING ABOUT 35MPH AND A LARGE AND LOUD POP FOLLOWED BY REPEATED QUIETER POPPING SOUND UNTIL I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND CONFIRMED MY SUSPICION. A SPARK PLUG EJECTED FROM THE #3 CYLINDER. I HAD TO HELICOIL THE HEAD TO FIX IT, OTHERWISE THE DEALERSHIP WANTED $1800 TO REPLACE THE HEAD. 2 MONTHS LATER DRIVING TOO WORK THE #2 CYLINDER EJECTED ITS SPARKPLUG. SAME FIX. I'M TO WORRIED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT THIS POINT AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE. *TR
