Description of the problem	The #3 spark plug blew out while accelerating from a stop sign. My small town mechanic said he is seeing 4-5 of these per year and blames a design defect in the triton 5. 4 head. The head is too thin and made from aluminum so the threads strip out. The truck has 70,000 miles and the plugs are original. Ford has changed the head design but won't admit to the flaw. This could have been very dangerous. *nm
