One of my spark plugs simply blew out of the cylinder head of my 2000 Ford f350. These were factory plugs, since my truck has less than 100,000 miles. I simply started my truck in the morning and it blew right away.
The contact owns a 2000 Ford F-350 sd. The contact heard an explosion coming from the engine while driving. The spark plug thread became detached.

2000 Ford f350 v10 spark plug blowout.
The contact said the vehicle was shutting off while driving due to cam shaft sensor failure. The engine died in the middle of making a right turn. He almost hit another vehicle, to miss the other vehicle he went over an embankment. After the incident the vehicle was towed to a Ford dealership. They diagnosed the problem as the cam shaft sensor. The cam shaft sensor was removed and replaced with a new one. The repair was made at the contact's expense as Ford offered no free remedy. Updated 12/7/2005. The consumer request reimbursement for the cost of a new cam sensor and tow truck service (part # f7tz12k073-a, syncro 997690).
Spark plug blew out of the cylinder head at 76000 miles. My original owners menual ates the plugs do not have to be seviced for 100,000. This is certainly a design error spark plugs should not blow out of the cylinder head.
Without any kind of warning my camshaft position sensor on my 2000 Ford F-350 w/7. 3 diesel failed, leaving me stranded in rush hour traffic! after having it towed home it took me three days to figure out the problem, and then cost me $162. 36 for a new sensor! I will keep the old part in case you want it.
