Spark Plug TSB

I have done a search and cannot find the actual TSB. I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the actual spark plug TSB? If so could you please post it or email it to me? I want to take my truck in for a plug change, but I want to go in with TSB in hand, especially the part where it says it's covered under warranty. Thanks

Here is a link to it. It does not cover MY 2006 trucks.

Supposedly, the MY 06 spark plugs were to have the nickel ant-seize applied to them during assembly.

Thanks, but unfortunately unless you log into the site you can't get the entire TSB and when I try to log in I keep getting an error page. Anyone else have the complete TSB?

It was just a link. I had the spark knock tsb done where they changed my plugs to a different temp plug, but I can't recall the tsb #'s, I'll have to look for the reciept at home.

The spark plug TSB is 06-15-2, it updated the previous TSB which I believe was 06-5-2. I found a site online that has TSB's that you can purchase, but wouldn't you know they don't have that one.

I know this is a little late for posting here about this. I have an 07 FX4, engine build date of 5/11/07. This past weekend I got brave and pulled the plugs to have a 'look-see'. Followed the current TSB to the letter..bear in mind this truck only has 6100 miles on it at the moment. There was NOT A BIT of any anti-seize stuff on any plug, but had a good amount of carbon build up already. This truck isn't driven much at all, don't know if I should go a hotter plug or not ? Thoughts ?? The point of this post was to just let you know that there was no anti-seize on this engine as new as it was by build date. I might add to say that the initial removal of the plugs in #s 3, 6, and 8 were put in by the same Gorilla that installed the original oil filter (extremely TIGHT). That didn't help with the anxiety level of taking these things out for the first time.

Does the TSB replace the plugs for free? Mine has started to have a little rough idle as of lately.

No the TSB does not cover free replacement. The latest TSB includes the 08 model year F150 with the 5.4L3v engine.

I guess my advice on the plug issue (from experience) is to get them out, inspected, and anti-seized and replaced at the soonest and lowest mileage as possible..if for nothing else, a little piece of mind.

I pulled 3 plugs the other day to inpect them.

I changed them about 1 year ago and have put about 2500 miles on the truck since. I put anti-sieze on the threads, not the shank/insert, but only on the threads.

The plugs came out VERY easy... like spark plugs SHOULD come out. There was a little bit of grinding... emphasis on little, but nothing like when I first changed them.

Just a little FYI.
