SPARK PLUG FOR # 3 CYLINDER BLEW OUT, DAMAGING HEAD THREADS AND IGNITION COIL. THIS SPARK PLUG WAS ORIGINAL FROM THE FORD FACTORY, NOT A REPLACEMENT. DEALER IN MY AREA QUOTED $800 TO INSTALL A HELI COIL AND NEW IGNITION COIL; BUT ADVISED THAT NEW HEADS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS THE OTHER 7 CYLINDERS COULD ALSO BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME FAILURE. DEALER ALSO INDICATED THIS WAS AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW BY FORD, WHICH IS NOT CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED. NEW CYLINDER HEADS AT THE DEALER WERE QUOTED OUT AT $5,000 INSTALLED. HAD THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, A FIRE MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY FUEL BEING PUMPED OUT OF THE #3 CYLINDER AND COLLECTING ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 7TH I WAS INSPECTING MY BRAKES AND FOUND THAT ALL THE RUBBER SEALS IN THE FRONT END WERE WORN OUT OR BETTER STILL THE RUBBER WAS CRUMBLEY AND NO GREASE REMAINED. I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON THE 2001 FORD XLT RANGER. IT SEEMS THAT THIS WOULD BE A FACTORY INFERIOR PRODUCT INSTALLATION AT THE FACTORY. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE. *TR

FORD 2001 EXPEDITION HAS RANDOM PROBLEM WITH UNCONTROLLED THROTTLE SURGE WHEN STOPPING. STARTED OUT HAPPENING ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS AND HAS DEGRADED TO ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. DEALER HAS RUN FULL DIAGNOSTICS AND ROAD TESTS BUT CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SUSPECT BAD COMPUTER BECAUSE MANY THINGS SURGE UP AT THE SAME TIME (SPEEDOMETER, TACK, GAUGES). WITHOUT FOOT ON BRAKE, SURGE WOULD SLAM TRUCK INTO WHATEVER IS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. *JB
