So on the way to work this morning my truck blows a spark plug completely out and of course stripped the threads... and of course its one of the back plugs which is a pain to get at.
Take it to my mechanic friends shop. They can't get it tapped out and said the whole head may need to come off or even replaced which is big money.
I'm a little sick to my stomach right now.

Thanks Dodge Man. I would say its comforting to know there are others out there like me but not really. Sounds like Ford needs to pony up. Someone needs to start a class action suit.

I'm a little sick to my stomach right now.
I had one blow one time. One of the few things I dislike about Ford engines.
