[DeTomaso] NPC: What do you know about '97 Ford P/U w/5.4

[Mike Thomas]

It didn't take me long to find a heap of information on the web in regards
to the problems people have had with spark plugs blowing out of the Triton
5.4 engines.  I'm sure it hasn't happened to everybody, but since this would
be a truck long out of warranty, and not sure of it's history, I think I'm
going to pass even though it does sound like a great deal.

Thanks for the replies.

Correct.  It was not until 2003 that Ford increased the thread count from 3
to 5 in the heads.
