Default got the plugs replaced

I took my truck to a buddy of a friend that is a good gas ford truck mechanic to get the plugs replaced. He has a done a ton of them apparently. He does the work at the ford shop in the back "working on personal vehicles area." I brought it to him on tues and got it back today. He said ALL 8 plugs broke and he did the same procedure on mine he had done on the rest of the trucks he does. Im SO glad I did not try to tackle this myself. Truck has 87,000 miles on it and he only charged me $200 plugs included. Im so happy the plugs are done and over with.

nope, not near CT. lol. If you where closer I would have no problems referring him.

BTW before I changed the plugs the idle felt kind of rough sometimes at stop lights and I ignored it and thought it was normal. Well it was not normal, my idle is smooth now, its great.

I'm in Florida near jacksonville.

It may just be me imagining things but other than just the idle, it seems to just generally run better.
