It seems as if Freeky's sole purpose these days in this website is to display his expertise in excessive pot stirring.

 

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? What did that post add to this thread? At least my posts add something. You may not agree with my opinion, but I don't fault you for your stupidity. I had to post this response just to defend myself...I don't think I have made any personal attacks at you. Maybe you should read the forum rules...

 

I'm sorry if you can't understand what I said, but it's plainly obvious to the rest of us. And I'm stupid. Nice.

And I did interject good advice to this thread with that post. It's plainly visible in my normal sized sig.

 

Yes, I watched your little infomercial...further bolstering the fact that there is a problem with the sparkplugs breaking in the 5.4L 3v heads when removing them. Thanks for strengthening my argument. If there was no problem, Ford would not have a special removal process that involves loosening then lubricating then loosening then lubricating, and so on, and so forth. If there was no problem, there would not be a need for a special tool to remove the electrode when it snaps off when removing the sparkplug. If there was no problem, the people who made that poorly produced infomercial in your signature would not have had to make it. Since there IS a problem, there is a special process, there is a special tool, and there is a fancy little video to tell us all about it. Are you sure that you want to continue to act like this is not a problem?

Oh, and if there were no problem, we would not be talking about it and 22% of the people responding to this thread would not have broken sparkplugs!

 

I was talking about the Brisk link.

Oh, look, no extra BS.

 

*SIGH*

 

I know, it's like he drives a Toyota, but he drives a Ford. Go figure.

 

Well apparently because I only own an F150 I'm jealous and I guess it makes me less of a man too.

 

Hey cop, get them online, rockauto.com. $49.95 for a set of 8 motorcrafts + shipping, and since your in Canada I'm not sure how bad that'll be, but at least you won't have to drive and you'll get them in about 4 days.

 

Uh oh, I think I have to change my underwear

 

Thanks for that! I am going to the States anyway for Christmas in Wisconsin (cold!) so I will look into those. I am buying a ton of stuff down there including a trailer to bring it all back!

 

I dont think anyone is arguing the fact that Ford F ked up with the plugs. The issue under debate is if the problems are as wide spread as everyone here makes it out to be. I must say that it is not. People come on forums for 1 of two reasons 1) they are insane auto enthusiasts like us. 2) they have a problem and are looking for a solution. Seems like number two can easily make an issue appear worse than it is

 

You forgot #3. People who trade in their f150 for an f250 because their afraid of spark plugs and would rather stir the pot.

 

And then when someone calls them on it they get told the must be jealous because the only own an F150 instead of a Super Duty.

 

Hey Stealth,

Have you tried them Brisk plugs? Or Has any body tried them that can give some feed back.
Why the hell cant Ford make them like this and then there would be no issues of broken plugs.
