THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE SPARK PLUG SHOOTS OUT OF THE BLOCK AND SHORTLY AFTER YOU CAN SMELL GAS FUMES WITH IS AN OBVIOUS FIRE HAZARD. NOT ONLY IS IT EXPENSIVE TO FIND A MECHANIC WHO CAN COIL THE PLUG BACK INTO THE BLOCK, AFTER READING ABOUT IT THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENS TO MANY OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME TRUCK AS I DO. YET, THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.
