POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS NOT STEEP AT BETWEEN 7-8% SLOPE, ON LIGHT SNOW OR ICE MY TRUCK WILL ROLL BACKWARD. WHILE ROLLING, ONE REAR WHEEL WILL BE TURNING FORWARD WHILE THE OTHER WILL BE TURNING BACKWARD. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE PARK BRAKE IS APPLIED OR NOT, WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. MEANWHILE MY OLD 1983 CHEVROLET IS PARKED NEXT TO IT, NOT SLIDING. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME WHENEVER SOMEONE COMES OVER AND PARKS BEHIND MY TRUCK, OR WHEN I AM PARKING ON THE STREET IN THE CITY. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, THIS IS NORMAL.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FORD F-250 5.4 L V8 BLOWN SPARK PLUG FROM CYLINDER HEAD. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH THREADS TO KEEP THE SPARK PLUG FROM EVENTUALLY BEING BLOWN FROM THE HEAD. HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES MYSELF WITH THIS PROBLEM IN TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES. FORD NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND WARRANTY THE PARTS. WE STILL HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE IT WILL BE COVERED. EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS RIGHT IN THE PAPERWORK THAT THIS PART IS COVERED. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
SHORTLY AFTER MY TRUCK ROLLED OVER 106,000 IT STARTED MAKING SOME VERY LOUD RATTLING SOUNDS. AFTER A FEW FALSE STARTS WITH DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS FOUND THAT IT HAD A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER AND THERE IS A TSB ON THE SAME SUBJECT DATED 1999 (THE SAME YEAR AS MY TRUCK) AND THE PROBLEM WAS RECOGNIZED BUT NOT FIXED AT THE FACTORY, JUST TOLD MY MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE PART TO THE TUNE OF $373 FOR THE PART AND $275 LABOR. THEY SAID THE REPLACEMENT HAD A NEW DESIGN TO KEEP THE SAME PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WHY WHEN IN 1999 DIDN'T THEY FIX THE PROBLEM TO START WITH? *PH
