1999 Lightning, 20,000 miles,,,never abused, hot rodded or any abuse at all,driven by a 62 yr old man (my dad), this truck has been babied since day one, even still running on the factory Goodyear Eagles,, that are supposed to be shot at 15k, and they still have tread. Crusing along 40 mph and BAM, #7 Plug blowed out.
ANy of ya'll ever had this problem? Ext warranty expired last June so there is no warranty, any chance ford may help with repairs? Of course the Lightning has Aluminum heads so heli coil is really not an option. Where is a good place to buy a head? And how much should it cost to R&R the head? Located in Dallas Tx,, Any of ya'll reccomend anyone or place to do the repairs? Any help ya'll could provide would be very much APPRECIATED as funds for this repair are going to be a real problem if Ford wont step up to the plate. I have heard of this with the 5.4 in the Standard F-150, but never a Lightning 5.4. Any suggestions?
