All kidding aside, refer to your maintenance schedule for work that is needed with your driving habits at your mileage interval.

Here is what mine looks like:

8 plugs changed for $318? Con artists. I seriously think that's more then it would cost at a dealership.

That insane man. I paid the dealer $850 To change my plugs and coils in my 97 work van because I hate working on it. Changed them in my truck for about 300 but i bought the moto blues instead of the Global ones that could have saved me another $100. its really not that hard to change them either. I could just do my own plugs for less then $50 I probably will be doing that soon because I used autolites instead of motorcraft.. need to change those out.

No there not. Both plugs are made by Honeywell Motorcraft are manufactured to ford specifications. Autolite's are not. When I bought my plugs I thought they were the same but I've seen many reported failures of Autolites on this board. My own truck has been running a little rough when its cold and I'm thinking the plugs maybe the reason.

I don't think there are wires on an '00 so I'd get all those COP's changed. Don't think anyone said O2 sensors yet.

lol lol lol, I wondered when you were going to read that post Jbrew.
I knew for a fact you were going to jump in on it.
I am surprised you let it go so easy, especially with the letter in hand story you tell on this site.
Your not getting soft now, are ya?

get a book for the truck, they generally have preventative maintenance schedules which would give you a better idea what to do if you havnt done it yet.

I'm back home for another 2 days here, so I'm looking for the letter - I think it's in the file cabinet out in the shop. So far I found the one were they finally reinbursed me $57 and some change after a year of b^tchen. Found some others too, I didn't realize I wrote them that many letters - Guess I was still pi$$ed that I had to do my plugs three times in two weeks hahaha. I was biatchen up a storm. When I find the one that has the data , I'll photo copy and ask that it be made a sticky
