Description of the problem	i have a 2001 ford f150 lariat supercrew with the 5. 4 liter engine. My family and i were on vacation when the 3rd sparkplug back on the drivers side blew out of the engine and left us stranded. It destroyed the coil in the process and nicked the fuel rail. We had to have a forty mile tow to a mechanic who could put in a helicoil to hold the new sparkplug and also put in a new coil. This cost us $600 including the tow. This was the 2nd ford with a 5. 4 liter engine in a week that this mechanic fixed with a blown sparkplug. The nearest ford dealer wanted to replace the entire head at my expense for $3,300 not including a tow. This took place in kalispell montana. Since then i have had to check and retighten at least one of my spark plugs every 3,000 miles. The truck had approximately 127,000 miles on it when i blew my sparkplug.
