F-250 5.4l

[horsepoor68]

I just bought an 02 F-250 with a 5.4l. Pictures in my garage. Are there any major problems with these trucks. I bought this for a work truck to save some wear and tear on my new truck.

We have 3 f-350's where I work that we use for plowing that have the 5.4L in them. As far as the engine and transmission we have never had any problems and we are putting about 800 hard miles a week on them, and they all still drive like new.

I know quite a few people that have problems with the 5.4's spitting out there spark plugs my brother in law has one that has blown 3 of them out

I have heard about that . Is it a specific year or is it with all the 5.4L? I was just wondering because the trucks we have are 2002's and we have not had any problems.
