Has anyone heard of problems with the triton v-8 blowing the plugs out of the heads? I have had two different trucks F-250, E-350 where with no warning the #2 on one and
#3 on the other blew the plugs right out of the head . Ford is no help because the trucks have 56000 and 95000 miles on them. Tech at Ford garage said they developed a special repair for this {Helicoil or Threadsert} and that just sounded like there has been a lot more than just my two trucks. |

Just hit 70,000 last week on my '01 4.6 Sueprcrew. I haven't heard of this before but then again, I don't hang out on any Ford boards. guywan914, have the plugs been changed on your trucks at least one time prior to this failure? I seem to remember some nonsense about 100k mile plugs. I wonder if having the old plugs longer than what we used to do in the old days plays a factor.
