2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2006

Ford E-350 with 5. 4 triton v-8 in hvac service truck. Blew spark plug out of # 7 cylinder @ 92,000 miles on 5/15/06. Lost day of work to make repairs on truck , repair parts $130. 00 on 6/22/06 blew spark plug out of #2 cylinder. Put truck down for 2 days while repairs were made. I had all plugs removed 4 of the remaining including #2 were bad. That's 5 of 8 that the threads were compromised . All of these were factory installed original plugs. I had the repair shop install repair sleeves in all the plug holes. The terrible part of all of this is that I may have been lucky. I didn't have to remove the heads , if the head is damaged beyond repair the only recourse is to replace it,not usually a real major job. But thanks to Fords engineers the only way to replace the heads is to remove the complete cab. In a pickup it's tough in a van who are they kidding.
