| Injector drive module (idm), diesel 7.3 navistar engine. idm failed where the likely cause was water infiltration of the device with sudden catastrophic results which included a sudden significant loss of engine power, inability to maintain highway speed, inability to keep speed above 5 miles per hour, and demonstration of sever roughness during attempts to rev the engine or idle loads. due to the idm failure, three of eight fuel injectors were rendered nonfunctional and replaced; also the actual number of injectors that were online or offline during the idm failure to engine shut-down period was unknown. during the idm failure to engine shut-down period of ~3 miles, the vehicle's obdii system did not illuminate any dashboard indicators despite the engine's inability to function normally. idm was operated in manufacturer's oem configuration, without modifications, and under normal conditions. all parts sent directly from mechanic shop to suppliers under core replacement requirements. subsequent research on vehicle owner's forms and conversation with mechanic show failure of the idm due to water penetration / infiltration is known and ranges in indications from mine (sudden sever power loss) to complete power loss / engine stop. | |||

| For 5.4l v8 triton sohc 1999-2002 spark plug blow out from cylinder head. its not been two years and this is the 3rd time it has happened at a cost to me of $4600. plug installed in assembly blew out, had repaired, it blew out, had it repaired again by a certified ford dealer. it lasted month & half. now want to replace cylinder head with same poor design head putting me back where i was 3 plugs ago and ready to spend $4600. more. there is only 4 threads holding any and all plugs. design flaw. i work in aviation, if our blades started blowing out, they would go through the cabin killing passengers and then plane would crash killing those left. there would be a gov investigation on one incident. please check to see that thousands of other consumers have had this happen. they will recall for cruise control but not for poor design cylinder heads. what good is a vehicle without an engine? *tr | |||

| The front hubs on my f250 super dury pick up would not work when we had our first slippery roads in november. i have shift on the fly and the hub type are the auto-lock type. i spoke with two mechanics who both said this type hub is junk. when i called my dealer i offered to bring the hub's with me so they could see that they were full of rust. the parts manager said he 's seen plenty of them and doesn't need to see them. this is a safty issue for those of us who count on the four wheel drive working when you need it. this vehicle has never been under water or been abused. this item has not been recalled at this time, and contacts with ford motor company have beeen fruitless. *ak | |||
