spark plugs
 

just did mine yesterday and it only took nine hours. not to bad as long as you have the right tools and small monkey hands to reach the right rear plug. thank god for the lisle tool worked great. If ford could have made the plug threads fifty thousands bigger then the bottom of the shield it might not have been so diffulcult.:eek:

What year truck? How many miles? How many broke?

I'll be doing mine next week when I get that lisle tool.

I just did mine last week and had four break but it wasn't as bad as I thought

Did mine yesterday. PB blaster and patience. 2 hours none broke. 131,000 miles. Looked like original plugs. Was praying the whole time and I'm NOT a religious man.

Whoo WHoo!!!!!!

Nine hours .....????
Holy it took me about 3 and I thought mine was hard

I have a 98 , I was recommended to use ridium plugs, what do you guys suggest? Im dreading the while process. Any tips?

Motor craft plugs

Like Nos said, use the factory plug. It's an easy job. You don't need to remove the fuel rails. Just turn the injector if it's in your way, unplug and remove the coil (7mm socket). You'll have to twist it some as your pulling up. Blow out the plug holes with air if possible. Put antiseize on the new plug threads. It takes about 45 mins to do the job.

Do not put antisieze on threads. Recommended torque to 28 ft/lb dry. You do.t want them loosening up and blowing out the head which is common. Use motorcraft which are nickel coating I believe. And if you can do it in 45 mins you are a god then...

Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm going to get on this next weekend.
