Description of the problem | My 2001 ford f150 recently ejected a spark plug. I have had an ongoing problem with this truck, having it in the repair shop numerous times. Approx. 2 weeks ago during normal driving, the engine blew a spark plug completely out. I received an estimate from a ford tech. Of approx. $2000. I have purchased a kit to repair this myself. The company made the kit specifically for ford triton engine repairs, which shows this is a major problem. I estimate the total cost of my repair will be over $1000. *nm |
