Re: 02 F150 5.4L V8 Triton Plug Problems
Took the truck in to a mechanic and asked him to check what happened and call. He went ahead and attempted to fix then told me he fixed it, but i should get rid of it ASAP (charged me $550). It was a blown plug that the centre of the plug was melted and then blew out at the head and melted two holes in the head (one on each side of the plug). I guess he tried to machine down a new seat then installed an insert and new plug and coil. Regardless, it didn't work and it wasn't repaired. So far I got back 1/2 the money and trying for more. Better than nothing, but last time he touches one of my vehicles. The truck is being towed to an engine shop today and they are going to stick a camera down and do some investigation to see what can be done.
