VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE TRUCK WAS STARTED, WHEN PUT IN DRIVE, THE TRUCK WENT INTO FULL ACCELERATION. BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT WERE NOT EFFECTIVE. TRUCK WAS STILL ACCELERATING. THEN TURNED OFF THE KEY, TO STOP ENGINE. THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS WAS A TERRIFING EXPERIENCE. IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN TOWN, OR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, YES SOMEBODY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE HEAD GASKET ON MY "97" FORD F150 FAILED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING FILLING #4 CYLINDER WITH COOLANT AND BENDING A ROD. NO WARNING, NO OVERHEATING, WATER IN THE OIL, ETC. ONLY A FLICKERING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT WAS SIMPLY A FACTORY DEFECTIVE GASKET AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWN CONSIDERING MILEAGE AND UP KEEP AND MAINTENANCE DONE TO THIS VEHICLE. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I AM FINDING THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THAT FORD HAS HAD MORE THAN A FEW GASKET FAILURES WITH THIS ENGINE. *PH **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**770846
