            It spit a plug out of the head in the middle of BF Idaho. Not too bad though, still made to the venue on time that day.

            Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it. You'll be missing a great time and great people.

                      My sisters King Ranch spit a plug out too. 5.4ltr with less than 35k miles on it. Seems to be way too common a failure, I'm surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit against Ford for this.

                      Of course she was out of town and it happened on a weekend. Was over $700 to fix it. Hope it doesn't happen on the 4.6ltr 3 valve heads as we have 3 Mustang GT's between the 2 of us lol.

                        They changed the heads sometime in 2003 to have more threads in the plug hole. I don't think it's very common on the new motors.

                          No, the spark plug tips break off instead and need to use a special tool to crush and extract them. One bad to another bad.
