This is a common problem with Ford F150 4.6 and 5.4 engines. Pulls the threads out of the head. There is no rhyme or reason for which cylinder it happens to, at any speed and at any time. It happened to me 400 miles from home at -25 degrees while traveling through the city.

This is the second time this happened to our truck. The first time we had it repaired the second time we had it fixed up enough to trade it in. AND we will NEVER buy Ford again. as we called head office and they refused to admit there is a problem with the Aluminum head. BULL SH*T. thats twice it happened to us. So they lost a good customer. We will buy Toyota from now on. We just bought a 2009 tacoma and LOVE it, it took a little getting used to the smaller truck, but it is awsome we love it. and all I can say now is "PISS ON FORD." :) thanks for listening
