FML!
My 0-60 is 7.5-8 seconds. Anything under 10 seconds is generally normal. Slower then this means something isn't running right.

What year is the truck? 2007
What engine? 5.4L
How many miles? 44,000

Well the "poor maintenance" guy here(me), as some of you would like to call me, just received my truck back tonight around 7. Dealer changed out all my plugs with champions and all my coil packs to OE coils. Ok, let me just start out by saying, I had no idea the power of these trucks, I got it back tonight and I was like what the heck!!! What's even better is that they only charged me $500 for everything with labor! $500 out the door. I also know a guy... But anyways I just wanted to post back about my success and about how great the truck runs now!

Glad your truck is running good again. The dealer changed your plugs with champions? Many people have problems with plugs fouling using anything other than motorcraft plugs which is what the dealer should always use.

Not really... that time seems average for a stock 5.4. Even the new EcoBoost does it in 6.5 seconds.

No I brought them the champion plugs. I wanted them to use the champions. I've heard good things from the champions so I guess I just went with them just because lol
