| I have on multiple occasions had spark plugs come flying out of the head of my truck. i have asked around and heard that on most ford trucks and econoline vans are blowing these out on the regular. i have also heard that it is due to the aluminum heads having only 4 weak threads. i would just like to point out the fact that it has happened twice to me and can cost anywhere from 200 to 1700 dollars to fix depending on how severe things are. i would greatly appreciate some research into this subject as i am sure thousands of others would. *ak | |||

| I was driving along on rt 295 during a rain storm and my windshield wipers stopped working along with other electrical componets in my truck. i drive a 97 ford f250 4x4 xlt. luckily i was not injured. i took my truck to be fixed where i was told that i needed to replace my gem module and fuse box. i thought that was odd. the mechanic said that the windshields on the model of my truck is known to leak and damage those componets. i could of got into a serious accident that day, resulting in death of me or other people on the road. *jb | |||
