Description of the problem	My 2001 ford f-150 blew a spark plug out of the 7 head on 09/30/2008. The truck has 150k on it. I bought it new in 2001 and have always maintained it. I went out to go to work in the am and the truck just roared when i started it, i found the spark plug on the driveway the threads on the plug were completely in tact. Took it ford service and it will cost me $2500. 00 to fix with no guarantee. I have found that this is a really common complaint from owners of v8 triton engines. Ford needs to do a recall on these vehicles. My brother-in-law is an asi front end mechanic for ford and he says he has seen a lot of this problem. If he didn't live in denver i would have him fix it. My family has always driven ford products. My father was an engineer for ford in detroit. But, i feel that because ford will not stand behind this problem that maybe it is time to switch loyalties. The service department at the dealership displays a so- what attitude. I requested a factory rep to look at the truck and they said either fix it now, or move the truck off their premises. The consumer has no rights anymore.
