Hello,
I just recently bought a Black/tan 1998 Expedition EB. It is mostly for my wife as I had to sell my 1999 Ford Contour SVT to afford it . Anyways, I just thought that I'd introduce myself as I will probably be asking questions from time to time, but I am quite mechanically inclined so they won't likely be stupid ones

I just changed my spark plugs as the truck was at 100,000 kms and needed it done - took me 3 hours to due and was murder on my hands. Curse those engineers!!!

Anyways - you'll be seeing me around

Dave

 

Welcome to the board

 

Any tips on changing the plugs. What plug did you use for replacement plugs?

 

Welcome to the board!

 

LOL! The best tip that I can give is a lot of patience, a good step stool, a bent/flex head ratchet with extensions and a good memory as you will be unhooking a lot of wires/hoses. I even had to lift the fuel injection rail off the driver's side bank just to get at the 3rd plug

I picked up some Bosch Platinum +4's #4459 at Walmart and they seem to be working fine.

Welcome to the boards, and the Expy forum! You'll find a number of us here who range from tinkering to all-out rebuilds of their Expys. There's lots of helpful folks who are very knowledgeable.

Glad to have another member.
Good luck with your mods.

 

Thanks guys - I feel at home already
