TSB 08-7-6 is out now for the 5.4 and 4.6 3v spark plug removal repair....basically the same however there are new procedures for getting the broken ones out....dealers should have received the new tool kits this week, we got ours on monday and as luck would have it I have a 06 F150 with four plugs that are broken

I took some pictures of the broken ones but need someone to host them if anyone wants to see........I got all three different kinds of breakage out of one motor....

I also heard through the grapevine that a new head design is being implemented mid 08 production year going back to a traditional plug design....We'll know if it's true soon enough.......

 

If you send them to me, I can host them on photobucket for ya.

Anybody heard of a new TSB from Ford recommending not to leave the plugs in for more than 25k without pulling/inspecting them. I was talking with a guy at the Brisk office concerning the Brisk one piece plugs and he said there's a new TSB on this. I can't find one and my dealers don't know anything about it(hell, they are saying to still wait 100k before breaking, I mean, checking them). The Brisk website now said they have two different heat ranges for the 5.4 3v engine for the truck, not just the mustang and say it's a 50k plug. He said he gets call after call after call about people breaking these plugs off and wanting an alternative.

 

Send them FT - I'll post them right here.

 

Haven't seen that one or been advised of it either............

Is it just me, or do none of those photos Irish posted work? Had one too many today.........

 

That porcelain removal tool is a sick joke. This whole debacle is a sick joke, come to think of it.

 

Has anybody on here had any problems with the brisk plugs for their 04+ truck with the 5.4 engine ?

 

Agree 100%.. 3 broke on mine at 35k miles. Ford has to do something about this. It is only going to get worse as more of these hit the 100k mile change. I think they should at least put out a bulletin for the general public stating the possible problems when removing the plugs. Oh wait they won't do cause that will cause everyone's panties to get in wad and want it fixed. Anyway I think they should at least offer free plug changes....or at least let the dealers charge a normal price for the change and if any break NOT hold the customer responsible.

 

Hmmmm what happened to my pics??

OK i fixed it!
