ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
3 SPARK PLUGS ON MY 99 F150 HAVE BACKED THEMSELVES OUT, CAUSING IMMEDIATE ENGINE DECOMPRESSION. THE ONLY WAY TO ADEQUATELY REPAIR IS TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE HEAD, A MULTI-DAY, MULTI-DOLLAR TASK. VIEWING AUTO MESSAGE BOARDS SUGGEST I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS EXPERIENCE. APPARENTLY THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN THE TRITON V8 ENGINE DESIGN, ALTHOUGH MY RESEARCH SHOWS FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. *AK

THE SPARK PLUG IN THE 3RD CYLINDER BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE CAUSING 1800 DOLLARS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL FORD F150 OWNERS. IT IS THE CONSENSUS OF SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THIS FAILURE IS RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE FROM THIS CAUSED BUY THE UNBURNT FUEL LEAVING THE CYLINDER AND BEING IGNITED BY THE EXPOSED SPARK PLUG.*AK
