I currently own a meticulously maintained 2001 ford e150 van with a 4.6 liter motor. i have approx 78000 miles on vehicle, and recently started having spark plug issues. to make a long story short changing the spark plugs with aluminum heads can possibly ruin my van due to the plugs blowing out of the heads. at this time i'm not in a position to by a new vehicle due to something as simple and basic as a spark plug. due to the location of motor in van the repair is costly and time consuming. the more research i do with this issue i feel this is a huge design flaw. *tr
Transsmission failed at 50,000 mi. repair shop stated that it was due to an electrical problem that causes the pressure in the transmission to become to high and causes fluid to be pushed back into the electrical components of the transmission causing total failure/breakage. transmission had to be replaced.*ak
