Yeah, same here, it boggles my mind how the Dealer could not diagnose this properly, I did it with a $30 code reader and ordered the part. Maybe they should get on these blogs?

Can't agree more, with had an Escort, it's not quite that bad.

Are you kidding, I have had to replace a head due to the leaking cowling pouring water onto the flat head and settling in the spark plug wells and rusting the plugs to the head, Ford seems to be ignoring this problem. I assume this will be an issue going forward for all Rangers, also have a...

I don't think the cover will help based on it not being under the cowling where the water is coming in, the water will simply run down the head and fill the plug wells along the way, especially if your parked front end downhill, I also used silicone and pressure sensitive tape to seal up the...

I'm sorry, they did cover most of my head replacement, also check the posts and seal up the 2 piece cowling above the head to divert rain water. 43K and held together with duct tape.

What a mess, I had to replace my head, #1 plug was seized, they started with a 10K quote. Also had a warranty issue even with the 84K 6 year extended, ended up costing me $1700 I just ran out of fight. Unfortunately I'm done with Ford after this mess, still dealing with hesitation etc. this...

Thanks for the info, I've been struggling with this for a year. We joke every time my buddy is in my truck that it's "normal" according to the Dealer. Such a pain in stop and go traffic, horrible around 1.5K RPM.

Same issue here, appears to be no fix, very frustrating. I'll try tow mode, Sport mode still produces the shuttering, it's like shifting a manual transmission too early, my truck is a 2019, and my question to the Dealer was how come it was fine for the first 50K? Of course no reasonable answer...

My truck faced downhill also part of the time, I would assume this allows the water to travel across the head, #1 was where they couldn't get the plug out period.

T Thanks so much for the info. It's painfully obvious what's happening here. Too bad Ford won't admit it, or deal with it.

Thanks for the info, obviously we have to speculate since Ford won't come clean. Where is the cowl?

Wow, I'm in the same boat. One plug seized or rusted to the head, I'm with you, they know there is a problem or must. They refuse to cover under warranty even the extended warranty, quoted me 10K for a new head? I'm still in shock. My theory is that the hood being uninsulated is forming...
