Engine ejected spark plug twice in one month (two different plugs) incidentally the spark plugs had not recently been changed so it wasn't an overtightening problem. I had checked he torque on the sparks about a month before the incidents and they were torqued to the factory specs.

Well I got suckered Oct 4 2003 into a 2000 F-150 w/52,000 miles. My lovely truck was doing great until Sept 2004 and then my tranny went out. Just blew out. Well $1400 dollars and a lot of (I mean a lot) of money and time later (Nov 2004) I got it fixed (happy times right?). dad, me some buddies put the tranny in. So I am doing great and then I started to smell anti freeze and well some time later in Aug 2005 it started a steem shop out the exhaust. Water, anti freeze and oil that is what is was. Looked like head gasket or head might be craked so got new gasket set and got heads tested and reshaped and new head bolts.($400 later) well I finaly got to getting it back together and it is still smoking (today in Dec 2005). So something bad is wrong maybe block is craked. I dont know but I am very mad I owe $12,000 on it.

My husband and I were going to work in evergreen co. When something blew in the front of our truck. We had a immediate strong smell of gas and the truck started to shake and make very loud noises. A garage in evergreen looked at our truck and told us what had happened to it and said not to drive it to far because it could hurt the engine more than it did. We went and bought a coil and spark plug and waited all day for the guy to fix the truck. He said we were lucky he had a tool to fix it because he had the only one in evergreen. He had to rethread the block so that he could put the new plug and new coil on. He also told us other people have had this same problem in evergreen.
