Only about the 5th or 6th time this has happened since I've owned the truck (less than 100,000 miles, 10 years.
The fix doesn't last more than a couple of months now before it recurs. The first time I took it in under warranty. The tech told me which cylinder malfunctioned before the truck was pulled into the bay. You'd think they'd repaired a lot of them. After that, the repairs have been on me. I saw a fix on Motorweek that apparently requires that you buy a special tool, coat the spark plug with some kind of silver goop so that it doesn't break, etc. Unfortunately, the truck is so old, I know Ford won't recall it. What's worse, I also have a 1997 Ford F250 Diesel with 205K miles on it that I swear by. I'll drive the F250 into the ground. The 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel is bullet proof. Wish I could say the same for my Expedition. When it's right, there is no better truck, even with the gas mileage. But this is ridiculous.
