Vehicles built after 10/9/2007 have a new spark plug and different COP boots. Ford is listening.

 

Great... so where is the link to this information? Not that I doubt you... but there should be some evidence.

 

Yeah, and when is Ford going to replace everyone's spark plugs who has the crap ones that break for free? If they were smart then they would recall them now before the miles really start to pile on the engines. They have a better chance of replacing them now with the new design without breaking them then they will when a lot of the trucks out there start hitting 100K miles.

 

Link? Should i provide a link everyone would be stuck at a dealer login screen.

 

So when i get mine replaced here soon, can i simply ask them to put in the *new* plugs from after 10/9/07? Or will they not even work in a 2004?

 

This is the only information i see. Sounds like you will need the new COP boots.

 

So, Suzook, why is Ford still R&R'ing the 'old' design upon a plug change, right now?

I'm guesing the 'new' plugs & booties aren't in the 'service parts' system yet ?

Or available OTC?

Oh - and WTF would you need new booties???

Thanks for the heads-up, bud, I DO appreciate it!

 

Different spark plug length. Doesnt say longer or shorter.

 

Oh, Cool ! Do they stick up like velocity stacks?

 

Simple solution: Give us your login ID and password.

 

I wonder if the previous motors will be back-spec'd for the "new" plugs.

 

interesting.

 

Sorry guy's these plugs won't fit. And it's engines built on or after 10-09-07

 

HeY!

Please! Ed-u-ma-cate us! Thanks!

If that's true, then it's EXTREMELY shortsighted on Ford's part, given a redesign is possible to fit ALL MY 5.4 3V's (as Brisk demonstrates).

So, FORD is not really listening, at all, lol. This is tantamount to a simultaneous admission of fekking up, and a slap in the face for existing owners. Jolly good show!

Quintin, WTF are ya now?

 

Well I don't know how much I can educate you and not lose my job.
I will say the heads are different to accommodate the new plug.
But stay tuned there is more to come for the old plugs.
