you ok bud? Little hostile lol

 

On the first page someone said:

"Go no more than 60k on plugs ."

I really don't care to quote each individual poster so if you have some sort of complex where you think everyone is out to get you then.... ok

The false logic of replacing 100k mile rated plugs at 60k because they would be 'easier to replace' is just as asinine. Unless you've got a reason to replace the plugs, ride them out to 100k.

Is that clear? Do I need to draw a picture? I have MS Paint at the ready.

 

Great.. someone who thinks capital letters means someone is 'yelling'.

Sure, it's 'more proper' to use italics to emphasize a word, but that means taking my hands off the keyboard, using a mouse, clicking a button.. honestly its NOT worth the effort.

2005 called, its wants their nettique rules back.

 

Dude, wtf is your problem? We get it, you change your plugs at 100k. Great. Get over it. If people want to change theirs at 60, more power to them. There is a little thing called carbon that will build up over time. Unless you are constantly running a fuel cleaner with PEA in it, there will always be an accumulation over time. The longer the change interval, the more carbon, even if it's microscopic. However, as previously stated, if you want to run your plugs to 100k, fine. Just be a little more polite with your answers. This is not the F150 Nation Facebook page...

 

It was Ford that suggested a new replacement interval.

 

So I ordered new 515 plugs and the Lisle tool. I'll tackle the job next week. Follow the Ford TSB, except do it on a warm/hot engine as opposed to the cold engine like they recommend?

 

Perfect.. keep us up to date

 

People claim to have better luck removing the old plugs from a hot engine. Some even use impacts to get them out. Best of luck to you!

 

Has anyone ever posted or heard about anyone who stripped the threads out from using an impact or on a hot engine?

 

Not me.. should be fine with a 6 point or the Ford spark plug socket tool.
