TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING FROM OKLAHOMA BACK TO ARIZONA I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE VIBRATION. I PULLED OVER, AND NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT TIRE HAD A HUGE BLISTER WITH BELT STRANDS PROTRUDING FROM THE INSIDE TIRE. I TOOK IT OFF, AND NOTICED NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. I TOOK IT TO EARNHARDT WHICH THE TIRE MECHANIC STATED THAT A SCREW CAUSED THE BELT SEPARATION. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE CONSIDERING THAT THE TIRE ONLY HAD 18500 MILES ON IT AND THE LOCATION OF THE SCREW (VERY SMALL TOO) WAS NOT IN THE VICINITY OF THE HUGE BLISTER. IT'S MY BELIEF THAT THE HEAT WAS THE PRIMARY CAUSE. I HOPE OTHERS WON'T INCUR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH GENERAL TIRE (GRABER AW P255/70R16) ON 2001 FORD F-150.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE HEAD AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEED (40MPH). THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE FORD F150 TRITON V8 ENGINES (HAVING REVIEWED SEVERAL INTERNET WEB SITES). THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHERE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CYLINDER OVERHEATS AND CAUSES THE SPARKPLUG TO BLOW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. CONSUMERS MUST BE MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. IF I WERE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURED I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. SHAME ON FORD!!!*AK
