Has anyone heard about a problem with 2000 X's, v10 models, and blowing the spark plug out (and thereby causing the coil to break?) I had this happen recently, and the dealer made no mention of it being a problem with the X's, but I just saw a discussion on the old fordexcursion.com website talking about the exact same thing that happened to me.
hey monsta, were you previously located up here in Mass? I had seen your earlier posts on the old website, but thought you were in Gardner Mass, is it a diff. Monsta?

Actually my wife and kids are still in Gardner until June 3rd. Then we will all be here on the Big Island of Hawaii.
I know that there is a lot of info on the sparkplug issue at ford-trucks.com. I mean lots. However...none of it has a magic bullet to prevent blowouts other than replacement of plugs prior to the 100K and to include sparkplug torque-down in a regular maintentance schedule. Say maybe ever 30K
Sounds nice. Just an FYI for you now on the Boston weather: "The Usual", partly sunny, partly cloudy, some rain - some sun, cold this morning, hazy, muggy and humid. Another unpredictable NE day.
