2000 FORD F-250 SD Engine And Engine Coolingenginegasoline Problems

MY 2000 FORD F-250 WITH A TRITON V-10 MOTOR IS BLOWING SPARK PLUGS. IT HAS BLOWN 5 SPARK PLUGS NOW OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, AND THIS IS ON A MOTOR INSTALLED BY FORD. SO IF THERE CLAIM OF IMPROPER TORQUE IS TRUE THEN IT WAS THEM WHO IS TO BLAME. I ALSO READ MANY CONSUMER REPORTS SAYING MANY FORD MODEL ENGINES DO THIS FROM 2000 TO 2004. IT IS VERY UNSAFE, FUEL STILL KEEPS PUMPING EVEN WHEN THE SPARK PLUG IS GONE. YOU CAN SMELL THE FULE COMING OUT VERY STRONGLY AND FIRES HAVE OCCURED UNDER THE HOOD DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *CN

FORD F250 SUPER DUTY, WITH 83,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE. TWO SPARK PLUGS BLEW OUT. THE FIRST OCCURRED ON 12/7/05 AND THE SECOND OCCURRED ON 1/9/05. THE REPAIRS ENTAILED INSTALLING STEEL SLEEVE INSERTS INTO THE SPARK PLUG HOLES IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. *JB

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE SPARK PLUG BLOWOUTS ON MY FORD F-250 PICKUP TRUCK WHICH HAS A 5.4 LITER ENGINE. IT IS A 2000 MODEL. THE SPARK PLUG CAN NO LONGER BE REINSERTED DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE EJECTION. A HEAD REPLACEMENT WAS THE ONLY REMEDY OFFERED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT A RATHER SIGNIFICANT COST TO ME FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PREVALENT DEFECT. *NM

DRIVING AT 45 MPH , I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE ENGINE STARTED MISSING. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED THE BOOT ASSEMBLY & SPARK PLUG WERE MISSING. THE NEXT DAY I BOUGHT A SPARK PLUG AND A BOOT AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER (SOMEWHAT) AND WENT BACK HOME. THIS ALL HAPPENED 200 MILES FROM HOME ON A FISHING TRIP. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED FORD WAS NOT DOING ANY OUT OF WARRANTY SERVICE, I HAD 54687 MILES ON MY 2000 F-250 5.4 L. AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS AND HEATED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DEALER , THEY SAID FORD WOULD PAY FOR THE PARTS IF I PAID THE LABOR ,THIS COST ME $1385.26. THIS WAS THE #5 SPARK PLUG. ON AUGUST 3, 2003 AT 57646 MILES THE #2 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT RESULTING IN THE SAME REPAIR AS BEFORE , BUT THIS TIME THE...

DRIVING HOME IN MY 2000 F250 V10 GAS AND SOUNDED LIKE EXHAUST HAD BROKEN CHECKED UNDER HOOD AND FOUND SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE FOURTH PLUG FROM FRONT THIS IS THE THIRD PLUG I HAVE LOST IN 194,000 MILES FIRST WAS AT ABOUT 80,000 HAD TO BE HELICOILED SECOND WAS AT ABOUT 125,000 CAME LOOSE ?

DRIVING HOME AT ABOUT 55MPH NOTICED A VERY BAD HESITATION IN 5.4L ENGINE AND APPARENT MISFIRE. AFTER PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING ENGINE OFF, NOTICED # 3 COIL BROKEN AND SPARKPLUG LAYING BY FUEL RAIL. SPARK PLUG SHOT OUT OF CYLINDER HEAD DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING BY FORD. 1999-2002 F250 5.4L HEADS ONLY HAVE 4 THREADS THAT HOLD SPARK PLUGS.*AK

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK I HEARD AN UNUSUAL NOISE EMINATING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY 2000 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY, 6.8 (V-10) TRUCK. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN XHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK. I PULLED ONTO A GRAVEL ROAD, LIFTED THE HOOD AND CLIMBED UP TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND. IMAGINE MY SUPRISE TO SEE A LEFT BANK SPARK PLUG, #8 CYLINDER, LYING AGAINST THE FUEL RAIL AND THE COIL FIRING AGAINST THE HEAD. I LIMPED HOME, WONDERING ALL THE WHILE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS POURING INTO THE OIL PAN! I USED A STRONG FLASH LIGHT TO PEER INTO THE SPARK PLUG HOLE AND FOUND TO MY SUPRISE, VERY LITTLE IF ANY THREADS TO CONTIAN THE SPARK PLUG. I THEN USED A 90 DEG. PICK TO "FEEL" THE THREADS. NONE. I CALLED JOE MACHENS FORD IN COLUMBIA, MO. TO SEE IF THIS MIGHT BE A COMMON...
