WITH A LIGHT TAP AND RELEASE ON THE BRAKES, THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY STEER IN LEFT AND RIGHT VIOLENT MOTIONS. REFUSES TO STOP SHAKING UNTIL THE TRUCK COMES TO A COMPLETE REST. DURING THIS TIME I HAVE NO STEERING, OR BRAKING. THIS MOST NOTABLY HAPPENS WHILE HAULING A TRAILER (5TH WHEEL OR BUMPER TOW), BUT HAS BEEN DUPLICATED BY DEALER WITHOUT A TRAILER.

TRAVELING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH; THE SPARK PLUG ON MY 5.4L V8 TRITON BLEW OUT OF ITS SOCKET. (ANY MECHANIC WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS) THIS CAUSED AN IMMEDIATE BANG AND VERY ROUGH RUNNING CONDITION. AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED; THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER WHICH IN TURN; CAUSED A RAPID REDUCTION IN VEHICLE SPEED. NOT TO MENTION, THE DISTRACTION THAT OCCURRED THAT CAUSED THE LACK OF FOCUS ON SURROUNDING VEHICLES AND OTHER POSSIBLE HAZARDS. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF A SEPARATE SPARK PLUG BLOWING OUT…

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH F SERIES DIESEL TRUCKS. I HAVE THE 7.3 LITER ENGINE WHICH IS IN MANY TRUCKS. THE FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE SIMPLY STOPS. USUALLY,IN MY TRUCK, IT "RESTARTS" BY ITSELF. IF IT DOES, THE VEHICLE BUCKS. WHEN IT DOES NOT "RESTART", THE ENGINE IS NOW OFF AND I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND CRANK THE ENGINE. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN A CREW CAB, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, DIESEL PICK UP TRUCK. THE LAST FAILURE, SOME TIME IN DECEMBER, WAS AT 30 MI…
