Gasoline Engine Problems of Ford F-350

Without warning the engine, while running, will blow a spark plug out of the cylinder head. After the spark plug is blown out of the head the truck is not drivable. This is the second time that the truck has done this. Without extended insurance the cost would have been approx. $5,000 vs. $100 deductible.

I bought my truck in Feb. Of '99 and change the oil and filter every 3000 mi. . I use motorcraft parts and I only use the truck for hauling soda drinks for my business. Needless to say, the truck is still like brand new!! from the very beginning,the engine would develop a slight knocking about 10 to 20 seconds after initial start-up in morning. As the miles increased, so did the length of time the knock took to go away. The knock has gotten louder and longer and the dealer where I took it on sat. 3/17/2001, told me I need new motor!!.
