I have heard that ford had a problem with there timing chins 99 - 2002 should be an easy fix. You have to take off all accesories in front . Then youll see . A couple hundred $ though.

In my experiences it seems like 60,000 miles is the key number for fords to break....Trannies, motors, etc!

The only thing I had a ford service guy tell me about the v-10 is that they have a habit of blowing a spark plug or two out of the heads. Told me that if that happens 86 it.  8) As for you OC I have my 99 expedition with about 150k on it and just now have a problem with it, which im being told its electrical. So there lol  :o You ford basher you :screwy:

I've been told that the most common cause of for Fords blowing out the spark plug is the use of non Ford spark plugs. 

We have had good success in repairing blown out plugs on both the Ford v8 and v10s.
