For the love of pete, what spark plug?

Hey Rngr, have you done any major HP mods to your truck? From what I have read, it suggests the Brisk plugs work best for fairly modified trucks but Im fairly close to stock. Good suggestions on the plug change. Ill definitely follow your guidance and make sure I have quick access to the break off tool.

Well let me jump in and ask a follow up question for those of us who would want Brisk plugs....
On their site they don't list any ford truck other than mustang gt for plugs:

Where can I find these plugs specifically for the F-150 '05 5.4 Triton?

No problem.For me it was $171.00 total mailed.Yes i know alittle steep on price but their well worth it in the short and long term.Theirs only one other plug for out trucks that better.Thats the denzo plugs,but at 25bucks a pop ya brisk works just fine for me.My buddy has the denzo plugs in 05 scab and ya theirs alittle more power than my brisk but hey for 25bucks and famous name like denzo(their plugs are world famous,put it that way) you better get the most power from them

After reading at least 3 posts a month on spark plugs for the 5.4, it makes me glad I opted for the 4.2 V6!

Alright, latest update. Considered all options, and basically put the gun back to my head and went ahead and ordered the OEM Motorcraft PZT14F / SP507 plugs from Rockauto. Total cost for 8 was $68 with shipping included. Saved $80 by not buying these from the dealer. When it comes down to it, I was too cheap to go with the Brisk but not confident enough to run the Champions. Hopefully if I have enough luck to pull the old plugs without breaking them off, the replacements wont end up doing the same further down the road.
Now, anyone have a Rotunda or Lisle tool they want to rent out

I installed champion one piece double platnium long life plugs and love them. They are about the same price as the ford ones but are one piece construction.My truck runs smoother and and i just returned from a trip towing a 8000 lb trailer over mountain passes |(4100 ft)
and my engine never missed a beat, with no overheating or dettination.I think these Champion plugs are worth a try.SP 507 plugs are still two piece construction and the same problem will exist next time you change plugs down the road.At least the champion plugs can be removed o.k.

I'm leaning towards the Champion plugs. Do you have a model number?

I think those Champion plugs are 7989 part number. Based on DPET's comments Im now second guessing myself. Oh well, need to worry about getting the originals out first I guess.
