| Driving on the freeway the truck stalled. it was taken to nearest ford service center .a tech who serviced the truck found an object inside the air intakeair filter area.this got the truck running again. i was 200 miles from home and was coming back from a camping trip. the object was not identfied to me yet i had an idea of what it could be. once home i went to new century ford near my home and asked them to help me investigate this object that was found at the capistrano ford 200 miles away.don lee the service g.m. was nice to offer help in figuring out were this object came from. the truck was rised and the fender cover was removed and there i saw a object half inside the air intake and half on the fender.the object looks to be for insulation or sound resriction. the object has not been named to me by the dealerships. yet they agree it is factory installed. i was told by don that if a object even a very small object get into the softball size air intake the truck could suffer greatly. i would not want any other person to have this problem.*ak | |||

| My 2001 ford f350 superduty ejected a spark plug for the second time in a year. i finally had to buy an insert kit to fix the problem myself cost me 450.00 plus a new ignition coil for 55.00. ford would not even think of taking the blame for this problem telling me that it is very uncommon for this to happen???????i didn't have a fire but i did see some smoke and smelled gas vapors when the plug ejected it also scared the hell out of my wife and i..if it happened on the interstate there could have been an accident from the loss of power and the sudden shock from the noise.. i really think this failure in the ford triton motor should be looked at closely and make ford recall these engines....thank you dave curtin *tr | |||
