That's a rip-off right there !! Rock Auto has them for $7.?? + shipping. My local dealer sells them (motorcraft ones) for $8.00 ea. Sorry, just had to comment on the part price

 

And you will be changing them every 25k. Not only that, but they are racing plugs and too cold a heat range for an unmodified engine.

 

They are the stock heat range duh,,,, and was just showing what i put in mine you dont have to buy them or buy them from there......

Put the two peice motorcrap back in and when they break off and that crappy tool they have out dont work ,,,, dont cry to me

 

I'm not going to come crying to ANYONE because I won't touch a 04-08 5.4 with a 10 foot pole. DUH to you too.........

 

I think I'm going to try the Roush plugs next go around:

They look two piece but hey, you can't have everything.

 

 

Then why are you in this forum giving "your great advice". An i love how you are quik to blurt out "facts" about something you probably haven't had any dealings with.

Thats how people get lead astray by opinions no facts DUH

 

Man, you need to quit while you're ahead, and even that's questionable.

 

Ease up dude. Most of us usually share the same opinion as him. He is usually very well informed. You can express your own opinion without being rude.

 

I changed mine without following the TSB...

warmed it up by driving to town and back home (25miles)
started pulling everything off, pcm, all the coil over plugs
the put the 3/8" impact on them and spun each one out. (hit the trigger and dont let out until you know for sure its out.)
then i put each one back in by hand.

60,000 miles on the clock. took about 1.5 hrs and i got replacement plugs from Rockauto.com for 7.97 each

 

I hope you coated the ground sleeves with nickel antiseize..........

 

That's amazing!

So ... no MC carb cleaner pre-soak? Engine warm? Impact?

Why does this work so well, as it counters just about every recommendation in the latest TSB?

Hmmm .. y'all might be on to something

Good job

 

I'm pretty sure that is the same method Quintin, a Ford tech uses. Wasn't it you that said I was nuts when I said some used an impact?

 

I hate you!

See: Sparkplug Purgatory

You've ruined my Friday, now... be gone!

 

why would i do that?

yeah just as you read, no carb cleaner junk. it works because the pulsating movement from the impact doesnt allow the rust/junk to stick to the head.

I heard it from a tech too. Which is why I tried it.


I read your thread the other day, that really sucks man. sorry to hear that.
