This is great; I’m still shopping for a new truck, hopefully another F150!

I don’t think that would be an issue, the extended skirt/shell is 10mm and the thread portion is 14mm, I don’t think there is even enough space in the combustion chamber to build-up that much carbon.

But at least O'reilly's had a price, Advance just showed the plug in there system but did not have a price yet.

I asked my service manager bout this plug and he said he's never seen a Champion plug run very good in a Ford engine.He also said what some have said in earlier posts that a 1 piece may not break but would probably strip threads if it stuck also and there's no tool to get them out, which means pulling the heads.Right back to the same costly situation.

Well you guys aren't going to believe this. I went to Oreillys to pick up my plugs and guess what. They couldn't get them. The reason why, a feakin Ford dealer bought all 192 plugs out of their warehouse a couple of hours before I called. The manager said the warehouse now has 195 on backorder and not sure when he'll be able to get his hands on them but will check around.
In the mean time I just purchased them online from sparkplugs.com They have them for $16.23 each with ground shipping @ $11.28. So as long as these are not on backorder too I should have plugs next week.
As far as these plugs screwing up the threads that will probably only happen if you leave them in for 100K miles. I plan to pull them every 20K to 30K miles to see what they look like and clean them off if needed.
