If this is a 5.4 Motor, general consensus is you will be sorry for using Autolite plugs, just a fair 'heads up'. I am trying the E3's in mine...love them so far !

Drove the truck all day today and it runs like a champ. Emailed Brisk and the company I bought the plugs from to see if they have a manufactures defect warranty and still have not heard from either one yet.
