I used motorcraft on all of my replacement parts. They started giving me big discounts in the 40% range for buying everything from them. Motorcraft plugs and wires are your best bet. I always did it so if something happend, they couldn't blame me for my choice in maintenance parts, I could always say "its got ford oem parts on it, your stuffs messed up".

another good suggestion is if you have another truck... put all your tools in the back of it and back it up to the front of the other... and work out of the back of the truck... i do this when working on my mud race trucks...works great... only sucks if you have to get in and out of the back of the truck back and forth

Never thought about doing that myself, its a great idea. I'm 6'2 so I've never had much problem reaching but my knees always hate being locked for so long hanging over the fenders.
