I don't mean crossing an injector plug with a cop plug. Make sure you have each injector plug in it's correct location and the same for the COP
1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 on 3 etc.

It is possible to cross them.

And you need to put OEM Motorcraft plugs in the truck and throw the garbage gimmick plugs away or go get your money back for them. Also did you replace the COP boots when changing the plugs? If not I would suggest doing that at the time you put Motorcraft plugs back in the truck.

I seriously doubt the engine jumped timing, if the truck ran right prior to you replacing the plugs it is most likely something you left disconnected or hooked up wrong. Have you put OEM motorcraft Plugs back in yet? Also we're you having problems with the truck prior to plug change?

These Triton motors are pretty tough, I had a buddy drive one from Los Angeles to Sacramento with a broken timIng chain guide.
