I have tried the E3s and the Champions in my 07, all failures after a few thousand miles, have gone back to the MC SP 515s and will stay there unless MC does come out with a one piece plug. The Triton motors are VERY picky on most items, plugs in particular.

I switched to champions at 100k miles on the truck (5.4L). 25k miles on the Champions and no problems! The reason they fail is people don't change out the COPs at the same time.

Guys question I just went to advanced auto part web site and auto zone typed in the part number for motorcraft sp515 and it said that they don't fit a 07 5.4 flex fuel motor?

Why would you have to change the COP's? Would the MC's also fail if their COP's weren't changed? I just don't understand that.
