Ford F-250 SD Engine problems by year

5.4 Liter motor blows spark plugs out of the engine, because some moron at ford designed an engine with 2 or 3 threads per plug port on aluminum heads. Ford is paying a class-action lawsuit for model years 2004 - 2008, but mine is a 2003. Thanks for the screw-job, ford.

The turbo on the low end struggles. Egr is having problems. Truck hesitates when starting off, it is a potential problem for wrecks because the motor hesitates from take off. Turning out to be a safety hazard. *Tr

I was at a stop sign on 12/3/2010 and when I stepped on the gas to go, I heard a extremely loud popping noise. I pulled off to the side of the road and discovered that one of my spark plugs and the coil was flopping around in my engine. I call a friend of mine who is a mechanic at a ford dealership and explained what had happened. He knew exactly what it was and which plug had blown out, without even looking at it. After getting my truck home and taking a closer look, it seems that these were the original spark...

While driving down the road, a spark plug blew out of the engine on my 2003 v10 triton f250 truck. It has 86,000 mi. And still has the factory spark plugs in it at the factory torque settings. The spark plug exploded out of the engine and could have potentially caught the engine on fire (i read in some cases where it did catch the engine on fire with the same incident). It caused some internal damage when blowing out of the engine, but the plug was no where to be found. I have noticed that ford has a problem, with...

My 2003 ford f 250 shot a spark plug out - mechanic looked inside and said all the threads had been ripped out and has had this issue with several other ford pickups in recent months. Obviously a problem as this is a small town and not that many ford pickups around. 2 Options to fix replace the heads or retap. *Tr
