Had just pulled out from intersection onto main road when truck developed a severe misfire. I pulled over immediately and upon inspection found the third spark plug on the right side had blown out of the hole. We took it to a garage less than a block away and they were able to install a new plug and coil pack but some of the threads in the head had been damaged. We were told they didn't know how long it would hold. Old parts are not available. I understand this is a problem on the Ford triton engines and think a recall should be issued . Thank you.

I was driving my family down a winding major mountain highway in my 1999 Ford f150 truck (5. 4l v-8, 117400 mileage) when a loud bang came from the engine area and my truck lost power. This startled me and I lost momentary control of the truck. I regained control and pulled to the road side. The next day (10/3/05) I took the truck to fairway Ford service department. They had replaced all the spark plugs about 10,000 miles previously. They determined the problem to be a "blown out spark plug". Both the service advisor and the service manager said the problem was caused by a bad design by Ford (not enough threads to hold the plug) and the previous plug replacement had nothing to no with problem. They said neither they nor Ford would take any responsibility for the problem they corrected the problem by installing a remanufactured left side cylinder head, all per a Ford technical service bulletin. The cost was $2549. 35. They kept the old parts.
Slight tapping that of like a tapping valve for about a week prior to first incident. The second incident occurred with no warning that I noticed. Vehicle has now ejected two spark plugs. Spark plugs were not the original from the factory. The first one was on the passenger side, 3rd back. When it came out, it destroyed the coil over the plug as well. It was repaired using a heli-coil solid steel insert which worked ok, but has come back out when the sparkplug was removed. Local Ford dealer quoted $1450. 00 for a single new head, not installed. The second time, it was the third back on the driver's side. This one killed the motor. I'm not sure exactly what happened yet, but along with the blown plug, I have water in my oil and the motor will no longer turn over, even with all plugs removed. I'll be buying a new motor now when I have the money. Meanwhile, my wife must sit at home with no vehicle and two young children until repairs are made.
While driving at 35 mph vehicle stalls/ die without warning the dealer has been notified. Mr consumer was also informed that the transmission went bad and was in need of replacing.
Vehicle stalls intermittently in any given speed. Vehicle been in/out of dealer's shop on four occasions, and problem still reoccurring.
