Got it for dirt cheap (5k) and it's fully loaded. Figured I'd give it a shot. Timing chain starts to rattle now so I'm going to dump it and never touch an EB again.

I can' say enough about the Motorcraft Sp542 plus gapped at .025. My truck and tune love it. A few others I know love it as well. Worth a try. It' the same plug that the 2.7L uses from factory. And it' a step colder plug for the 3.5L...I've got the 3.5L

I upgraded my coils to MSD at 87k kms with NGK sparks gapped at .029. Smooth riding now.

Any Canadian brothers bought boots up here? Best option (I'll go back across the line if its far cheaper like the plugs were)

Also the plugs I bought were gapped at .030 except one which was .028 (I adjusted it to 0.030 without touching the electrode) which surprised me (thought I'd have to gap them all.)

tanked_darren I'm in Manitoba and just last night purchased plugs and boots from RockAuto. Plugs were $8.49 Cdn, boots $4.81 Cdn and even with shipping of $19.13 Cdn it was still a ton cheaper than buying at the local dealership.
