Help changing my plugs or recommended dealer in Alabama?

I need to get my plugs changed out and I'm curious who did yours and how mucht ehy charged for the 5.4 3V. Also if anyone has done it before and would be willing to help I'd give you some cash for helping out.

Dealer in my town wants $800... I told them forget that I'll get the 4.6... I can't afford that life.

Im not to sure, I just thought Id give you some advice shops will want an insanely amount to do this, my old 95 Z71 5.7 pretty much the easiest you could do a tune up on a shop here in town I thought I could trust and not get ripped off on wanted right at $600 to do a tune up on it, me and my dad did it the next day on saturday for the total parts cost of like around $100 bucks for everything plugs wires dist cap and rotor and fuel filter,

sorry my point was not to get suckered into that, I would just spend 30mins of your own time and look around and see if you feel like doing it and if you can do it, check out some diagrams of the best way to get to them and change them , that would help, if not just call around and Id get someone to do what you cannot get to or dont feel safe doing as long as its cheap

I had my plugs changed yesterday at Coastal Ford in Mobile. They did a great job, only had one break. They charged $275 plus tax. Highly recommend them. I know its a good drive from where you are though.

Funny thing is, I was actually going to make a thread recommending them.

Everyone around here wants a ridiculous cost, all over 500 bucks for it. For that I could do it myself and break damn near all of them and pay them to fix it.

From what I've read up in the V8 section, most are paying around $300.00 (plus $40 ea per plug if they break any) which is pretty cheap considering the plugs are almost $150.00 That's at a Ford dealership.
