| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 97 f150 began to have an unpredictable coolant leak, never going below minimum coolant level. within the week noticed water in the oil and went to take the vehicle to a service station. when i started the truck there was a loud knocking, proving to be a damaged rod. later research showed that this is common in the 4.2 liter v-6 engine due to faulty gasket. ford ran a "campaign," but i never received any notification as to the problem. *jb |
