Description of the problem	After being stopped at an intersection i slowly pulled away when the light turned green. It sounded as if i ran over something ,and the truck started making loud noises and jerking. I pulled off the road, parked it, and had it towed to the local ford dealer in columbus, oh. They said it had blown a spark plug and stripped the threads in the head - it only had 41,000 miles on it. This appears to be a common problem with these trucks and could be dangerous in certain circumstances. I paid the charge to put a helicoil in as a temporary fix until i can buy a new head because ford won't acknowledge this widespread problem.*ak
