New guy with 5.4 Spark Plug issue!
Hello guys, I’m new here. I just bought a 2000 Ford Lightning with 63,000 miles. I loved it. Key word LOVED. I have put about 2,000 miles on it and the number 3 spark plug shot out again. That’s 2 times in 2,000 miles. I’m so pissed I called ford at the home office. The guy was very rude. He kept saying that it was not Fords responsibility, it was maintenance issue. I was so mad I consulted a lawyer. I was advised to fill out a BBB complaint and wait for that. Turns out if enough people do this Ford legally has to address the issue. It is from 1997-2002 issue I believe. I’m so motivated to get this addressed I don’t even care if I lose, I just want Ford to look at this issue. If anyone out there has had issues with this or is currently dealing with it you should do a BBB report! Anyways, this is my first Ford truck I have ever bought. Don’t think I would ever do it again. I have a 2001 Pontiac GTP heavily modified. That’s my sports car!! Well, thanks for reading.

No, my dad knows the guy that owns Jasper Motors and Transmission, he had then build me a Racing edition 5.4L, The cast stamp says 5.4L, but every thing is bigger, Heads, pistons, Followers, Cams, Springs, push rods, intake and exhust holes, larger fuel injectors, and a little larger than stock throttle body, right after i got the motor put in it rained for 4 days straight here, i got water on top of the motor and had a little "miss" made me so mad but after it ran for a day or too it smoothed out, havent had any other problems, best 6500$ investment i ever made,
