| This is my third problem with the same truck. the spark plugs have been blown out of the head. every time that i have had this problem happen i had taken it to a shop and they have fixed it. this has happened to three diff. plugs, not the same one. this last time that this happened the shop told me that the plug stripped it out so bad that it cant be fixed and that i need a new head or engine. i have been reading alot about this and nothing is happen, so i thought that i would report it as well. *tr | |||

| The truck has an intermittant high idle problem. when slowing down, (either by downshifting the manual transmission or coasting to a stop), the engine will sometimes idle at 1500 rpm rather than the nominal 700-800 rpm. if i don't come to a complete stop (like when turning onto my street), the idle will remain high trying to make the truck go faster. if i do come to a complete stop (like at a stop sign), the engine will idle down the second i come to a complete stop. i am concerned about not only my but others safety as the truck tries driving faster than i want when the idle is high. i have taken the truck to several dealers who have preformed many services to the truck in an attempt to diagnose and solve the problem but to no avail. i have replaced numerous sensors on the truck with original ford equipment but again no improvment. i have contacted ford directly but all they tell me is to take the truck to my ford dealer. i am out of options as the ford dealer cannot seem to diagnose this problem and along with it my concern for safety. | |||

| I was driving my 2000 ford f-250 super duty pick up truck at 35 mph, when i heard a loud bang, i pulled over right away , when i popped the hood, i seen the coil with the spark plug on the other end ! it had blown right out of the engine ! i have read a lot of blogs out their and i was very lucky, because some people have had this happen and the plug blew out with such force it hit the fuel injectors and cause an engine fire ! i do not have the amount of money that ford is charging to fix this issues that they have known for years that i have been reading ! their has been people that are retapping where the plugs are going into only to have this happen to another spark plug ! someone is going to get killed here and ford needs to step up to this problem these 5.4 liter triton motors are having ! i am in the military and just came home from iraq and really dont have to money to get it fixed the right way ! hope you can help ? | |||
