Default Change Plugs at 45k????

Im wondering if it would be a good idea to go ahead and change the plugs with just 45k on clock and which ones to use. I was looking at these from summit but wanna stay stock and DO NOT wanna replace with another plug that im gonna have problems with removing later on.

HT1 is a good plug, these trucks run nice on these.
Same as the revised Motorcraft plug (takes more to break them, so future plug changes will b ok)

I changed mine at 35k. I put the motor crafts back in but used antisieze to fix the problem so it won't be a problem in the future. If I was u id change them now so that u wouldn't have any break (or u shouldn't if done right)

stick with motorcraft. i changed mine on my 02 at around 80k. i beleive thats the recommended swap out mileage but it wont hurt to do it before! if anything doing em earlier will make it an easier job, plugs should pop right out!

Ive always run autolite, even on my race car so I was just looking into these and would think they are the same as motorcraft as both are ford

Yep, they are the same-ish
cosmetic is the only difference.
