Seven problems related to gasoline engine have been reported for the 2001 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2001 Ford F-250 super duty ejected a spark plug out of the # 8 cylinder.
Spark plug (#3) blown out of a 5. 4 l v8 triton Ford engine. 2,000. 00 miles past warranty(100,000) has already cost 1,450 and truck is still broken down. Ford recommending an engine tear down which will most likely cost more than the truck's worth. I am noticing that this is a very common Ford problem, I am wondering why the aluminum head hasn't been recalled? the explosion from the ejecting spark plug has damaged the #3 cylinder and my engine might need to be rebuilt or replaced. This as we know is very costly and when the vehicle is only worth 10k for trade in, running it is hard to know what to do. I hope this makes its way to someone who can change something because it appears to be a common and pricey problem.
My vehicle is equipped with the 6. 8 liter v-10 the engine keeps blowing the spark plugs out of the top of the motor when this occurs raw gas escapes through the hole all over the engine until you can pull over and shut the vehicle off all though it is not much gas it is still very flammable and could result in a fire and possibly causing you to loss control and crash.
The # 7 spark plug blew out of my 2001 Ford f250 super duty (5. 4l engine). It cost $1761. 61 from the dealership to fix this problem. The plugs were original from the factory. There was 74254 miles on the vehicle and Ford does not recommend plugs until 100,000 mi. Further research has shown that this seems to be a very common problem with this engine and Ford dealership claims they do not know anything about it. I contacted Ford motor CO. And got a similar response. This can be a life threatening problem if the plug damages the fuel lines and starts a fire. I was lucky to not have this happen this time, but I have at least 7 more chances for this to occur. Ford needs to be held liable for this problem. Please help!! I see by the next questions that a death might get results. I hope this is not the case.
The cylinder head in my 2001 Ford F-250 super duty truck blew out a spark plug. The dealer has quoted a $3,000 repair. The repair requires replacement of the drivers side cylinder head. Research of this problem indicates that Ford has been having problems with cylinder head failures in the 5. 4 liter triton v-8 motor. The apparent cause is due to the number of screw threads available to contain the spark plug. This cylinder head spark plug ports have 4 to five threads available to engage the plug, which is about half of what one would normally expect to find. Spark plugs blowing out of a cylinder head are rare or so I thought. There are numerous posts on line of people who have had the same thing happen, on various Ford products which use the triton v-8 motor. The mileage at which failure occurs is varied. The dealer informs me that I have no recourse with Ford, since my vehicle is out of warranty.
When the vehicle is at a complete stop and consumer will try to start moving vehicle will go into idle and not move for about 10-15 seconds before moving again. Contacted dealer, and theyare aware of problem, but can't remedy it.
When coming to a stop engine acts like it wants to keep going, this has happened 8 times since July. Vehicle taken to 2 dealers, neither could find the cause. Please add further comments.
