Ok only post if you already had a blow out. Then post year,engine size and mileage. Then we see just how many and what years,Thanks

 

1997 supercab 5.4, around 81,500 miles

 

Could I also make a suggestion as to add which plug and if they were original or had been changed and how soon before blowout had they been changed.

jsbit,

you can just go in and edit your post with this info instead of a new post if you want add the info.

 

1997, 5.4L, 4x4. #3 plug spit out at 80,621 miles. Changed plugs at 72,000 miles as per dealer suggestion to fix rough idle problem. Now I have a new engine due to internal damage caused from the blown plug and I still have the rough idle!

Hi all,

I've already started a list, going in the thread "Blown Plugs, Damaged Cylinder Threads". There's no point in starting another list, other than to just increase the confusion for everyone.

By all means, add your account there if you haven't done so already, and edit the information you posted there to include missing data (# of plug, etc).

Thanks,

Chris
