Thank you Turtle, is it still advised that we change the mc plugs every 100,000 miles or sooner since they are two piece plugs? I apologize for all the questions, it's just that I am picky with my pickup because they are such a big investment.

Still 100k I would have the lisle 65600 on hand as a safety precaution. I changed my oem plugs with 102k on them and they looked new I broke six out of eight changed them all in 2 hours

Thanks Turtle: I sure like the new F150 body style, but I'm going to have this one for a while: at least that way I can get a used one in a few years and get a better deal.

Yep I priced a crew cab 2wd Eco boost xlt and it was about $31,000: and I'm not going to spend that kind of money on something that decreases in value every year.

I much rather find one 3 or 4 years old with around 50 or 60k on it and pay around 10k for it. I got the truck I have now with 90k miles for $6500. I take my time when buying a truck. There is always a deal out there

Yea I agree: besides that a pickup drives a lot better when your not dragging around a payment book behind it too.

I bought 1 truck brand-new and hated all 8 months of ownership will never own another Titan. They tend to float for a couple of minutes before going under.

Yea I bought an 06 chevy z71 half ton new and it was crap: then I bought this one used right before became government motors. That truck was horrible: it sounded like I was driving through a wind tunnel going 40 mph.

Lol, but not an stupid question. They come in one piece and are meant to stay in that way for the life of the sparkplug..... but it don't. It separates or break apart. Other manufacturers like champion use a different design, one piece.
