Description of the problem	I was driving on interstate 5 when there was a loud pop followed by rapid popping from the engine. At first i thought it might be a flat and pulled onto the shoulder, but the noise continued even though i was stopped. I opened the hood and at first (based on the sound) thought it might be the exhaust manifold. I was towed to the nearest ford dealer where the problem was determined to be a blown spark plug which had stripped the plug's threads. The dealer inserted a heli-coil and after a tow, an overnight stay at a nearby motel, 5 hours of waiting the next day and $415 in repairs i was back on the road. I have since done some internet searching and have come to find that this is a very common occurrence with the triton engine and has been so for several years due to insufficient material and threads.
