Yea I know it's going to be a pita. And about 4 or 5 hours and a lot of cussing. But I will get it done. Here when they get in an I have some time. Driving like this is going to suck until then though.

 

Sorry for double reply stupid iPhone tells me timeout or something

 

Ya that's a little ways lol. I wish I knew someone that has done it in this truck before. But I can figure it out just going to take a while.

 

In my tire shop I have a couple different spark plug sockets and they are magnetic. Find yourself one of those.

 

This is going to sound like a really dumb question but what size spark plug socket do I need? And if I can find a magnetic one I will grab it but if not the old rubber will do the trick! Lol

 

5/8 brother and the old rubber always does the trick

 

Did mine a couple of months ago, it took about an hour. Plugs and coils. Problem solved, been running smooth ever since. You don't need to remove the fuel rails either.

 

Thanks for your guys help I'm gunna jump in there in about a week when I get my coils in and when I'm off for Christmas week. I'll let you all know how it goes.

 

That took about 7 hours. But that includes going to the store for about an hour and a half. It was a pita for real. I think ford could have thought that one through a little better. The only super bad part were the 2 last plugs on the drivers side. They are literally right under the fuel rail. So it was an all day project but definitely worth it. They were all stock plugs going on 170,000 miles. They all looked pretty bad. Thanks for everyone's help.

 

Second time around is less than an hour.
