Consumer Description

THIS IS MY SECOND FORD TRUCK IN A YEAR 1/2 AND MY FORTH MOTOR I AM EXPERIENCING A LOUD ENGINE KNOCK ON COLD START UP. THE KNOCK GETS LOUDER AND LONGER. FORD HAS REPLACED LIFTERS ON MY 2000, THAT DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE KNOCK. I HAVE TALKED TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT OWN THE 5.4 ENGINE AND THEY EXPEREINCE THE SAME NOISE. I HAVE FOUND MOST PEOPLE DO NOT NOTICE THE NOISE BECAUSE OF THE RADIO,AS WELL AS THE BELL NOISE WHEN YOU FIRST START THE TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO HAD A SPARK PLUG EJECTED FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD OF MY 1999. THE FORD DEALER WANT TO REPLACE MY 2000 5.4 ENGINE WITH A NEW ONE . HOW MUCH SHOULD A CONSUMER TAKE. HERE I GO AGAIN WITH ENGINE REPLACEMENT IN A NEW TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. PLEASE HELP!!!! THANK YOU!!!*AK
