Spark Plug mixup? Different Plug needed? 2008 Lariat 5.4 3V f150
Well I haven't found any explanation for this yet but today I was finally rallied up to finally do my spark plugs, watched many YouTube videos and even bought the lisle tool for standby. Have the Motorcraft SP-515 Spark plugs waiting to go in and I take the first spark plug out and it's all totally different from what I expected, not a porcelain type at all from what I was expecting. The plug was thinner, threads not even the same size or lengths. Anybody out there is there something that you know that I don't know? Here are the pics and the one more yellowed is the plug I pulled out and other is what I thought I was gonna put back in. Thanks
in advance!!!!!

Cool nice to know, very few of us have this style I guess, and yes it's brown. One last question...is there anything else I don't know that I might need to know???

"Affected engine build days are as follows:
5.4 3v and 6.8 3v before 10-09-07
4.6 3v before 11-30-07"
Also remember going from "early build" to "late build" the torque specs change as well
Black boots [early] is 25 ftlbs
Brown boots [late] is 9 ftlbs
According to Alldata, early plugs are PZT-14F and late are HJFS-24FP
