I had a spark plug blow out of my 2002 F150 on top the I-210 bridge. If your friend is in the Sulphur area also and is looking for a place to get it fixed, I had mine repaired at Carrol's. I'm on my third F150, still have two, and loved them all with the exception of this very expensive design issue that I also was not aware of until this past spring. The duration it took Ford to correct the thread issue is one thing, but can you believe a design on a pick-up that requires the engine to be removed to get the head off? Another word of warning: Don't wash your engine if you have an F150 with the coil-on-plug design. Water will get in the tubes that go to the spark plugs, boil up into the coil boots, and then run like hell until you pull them all off and dry or replace them.
