Description of the problem | 01 f150 supercrew 5. 4l with less than 41,000 miles. Right rear spark plug blew out of head also breaking coil mounting bracket. Dealer removed engine to attempt repair and found spark plug hole would not accept heli-coil. In process at this time trying to locate a new head. This truck has been well taken care of and with less than 41,000 miles, how was this possible! I have been a ford driver most of my life. But i will think twice before buying another ford. This problem is well documented and should be repaired under a recall. *ak |
