Consumer Description

THIS IS MY THIRD PROBLEM WITH THE SAME TRUCK. THE SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN BLOWN OUT OF THE HEAD. EVERY TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN I HAD TAKEN IT TO A SHOP AND THEY HAVE FIXED IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THREE DIFF. PLUGS, NOT THE SAME ONE. THIS LAST TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED THE SHOP TOLD ME THAT THE PLUG STRIPPED IT OUT SO BAD THAT IT CANT BE FIXED AND THAT I NEED A NEW HEAD OR ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN READING ALOT ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING IS HAPPEN, SO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD REPORT IT AS WELL. *TR
