hey everyone, i want to put new spark plugs in but have never done it, and dont really if what if im right about what spot there in. i have a 01 4.8 V8 any advise pic or videos you could give me..thanks

 

Do you have prior knowledge of working on vehicles?

 

yes i have "prior knowledge" but i have never done a change on a fuel injected car and it seems like a pain in the *** to get to and replace..do you have any advise you could give me so i dont screw anything up ??

 

I suppose you mean 4.7 but anyways you will need sockets to remove the stock air hat and the part running to the air box, then I think its a 10mm for the nut on top of the coil packs. They then pull out and you will need an extension and a spark plug socket. Not that hard at all just take your time. When you put the new ones in put anti seize on the threads and get them started by hand so you don't cross thread them. I suggest NGK V-powers.

 

Like Threeplaymaker said just be careful not to cross thread them and don't drop anything in the cylinder.Also the bolts that hold the coil pack down break sometimes.All in all its easy.

 

alright thanks guys, the plugs wont crack or get stuck in..like in 150's ahha will they

 

No they wont get stuck and actually I never had a problem with them in the 150s anyway. You cant really mess anything up its a fairly easy job.

 

yea i no it should be easy iv done it before, but they where fuel injected..and i work at ford and they say every time they replace spark plugs in the 150's like 2004 and up the spark plugs crack..and only ford has the tool to get them out haha

 

i thought auto lites were the way to go?

 

autolites or ngk

Well only had 02 and 97 f150's. another reason not to buy a new ford lol(i wouldnt buy one newer than 04 anyway)
