problem #8

Mar 082004

F-350 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 89,000 miles
On the day listed below my 1999 Ford F150 with a Triton 5.4L V8 engine ejected a spark plug from the cylinder head. Upon inspection by a mechanic it was determined that the threads in the cylinder head failed. The compression in the cylinder then ejected the spark plug. After the spark plug was ejected and before I could get stopped there was a strong smell of gas in the cab of the truck. Which I assume was caused by the open cylinder and fuel being expressed through the spark plug opening.

I bought my truck in Feb. Of '99 and change the oil and filter every 3000 mi.. I use motorcraft parts and I only use the truck for hauling soda drinks for my business. Needless to say, the truck is still like brand new!! from the very beginning, the engine would develop a slight knocking about 10 to 20 seconds after initial start-up in morning. As the miles increased, so did the length of time the knock took to go away. The knock has gotten louder and longer and the dealer where I took it on sat. 3/17/2001, told me I need new motor!!
