Default Plugs, wires, and coil pack!

Just replaced the plugs, wires, and coil pack today. I had a problem with my coil pack going out on my 2008 4.2 F150 manual. So instead of a motorcraft coil pack I went with a Delphi coil pack. Then for plugs I replaced the motorcraft plugs with Bosch Double Platinum plugs. Then I replaced the motorcraft plug wires with Taylor Street Thunder 8mm plug wires! Everything is running great, just wait for the computer to relearn all of it parameters and see what fuel consumption is haha, idles a little smoother too.

Good ol 4.2, I liked changing the plugs on those, if you had a 5.4 you'd be complaining right now about how hard it was dealing with the ones on it.

You got the right! The plugs stuck a little but I soaked it in WD-40 for 10 mins and popped right out! When the engine was assembled no one put anti-seize on the threads.
