Description of the problem | For a few months after tuning up my ford f-150 with the 4. 8 v-8, my truck started blowing spark plugs out of the motor while driving down the road. I brought this to the attention of ford and was told it was a common problem with this motor but they would not be responsible. I did my own research and found instances of people running off the road after their plug shot through their hood and scared them. *jb |
