Two problems related to engine exhaust system have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was going to the store to finish christmas shopping. I was stopped in the parking lot waiting to turn left when I heard a very load bang from under the hood. I first thought something on the exhaust broke. When I parked I opened the hood and found the #5 spark plug coil and wire hanging from the left side of the engine with the spark plug still in the boot. I attempted to thread the plug back in but found the threads in the head were stripped out. The spark plugs and boots were changed once since I've owned the truck, which was about a year ago. The new plugs were all torqued to exactly 11 foot lbs as specified by Ford. I just had the truck towed home today so no repairs have been made yet.
