Normal driving and heard loud noises under the hood. Turned out to be a blown spark plug in the passenger side head. I managed to pull off freeway after several miles and have it towed to dealer. Have just read about a lot of Ford truck owners experiencing the same issue with some experiencing it more than once! I am not happy. Truck at cars101 service dept now in hopes that it can be repaired but from I've been reading I'm not sure.
