| Description of the problem | My 2004 ford f-250 5. 4l was making a ticking noise for a couple of days then today a big pop and terrible noise from under the hood. I have discovered that it blew a spark plug out of the head. From what i have read this is a common problem with this engine. I am looking at a several thousand dollar repair. |
