ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A '1999 F250 FORD WITH A TRITON V10. ON NOV 13TH ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS BLEW OUT OF THE HEAD. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ORDERED A REPAIR KIT. I REPAIRED THE FAILURE WITH THIS KIT AND ALL IS WELL FOR NOW. THE KIT COST ME $300 BUCKS AND THE REPAIR TOOK ABOUT 4HRS. THIS IS DESIGN FLAW WITH THE FORD ENGINES. HOPEFULLY, AFTER ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FORD WILL AT LEAST FIX THIS ON FUTURE MODELS.*AK
