Ha, you think changing plugs is hard, try taking it to the dealer and reaching into your wallet to pay the $300.00 plus bill, now that's hard.

 

Lol ^^^^

 

A piece of vacuum hose that fits over the plug to start them by hand and not cross thread them works good for me. I changed mine on my 08 and to took about 1.5hrs. About 15min longer them my 01 5.4L F150 I had.

 

I bought the ram a couple days after i did the plug change. on my old 00 expedition. that was an fml kind of day.

 

My plugs were a piece of cake, i know everyone says to do the hardest ones first but i did the easiest ones first so by the time i got to the back 2 on the driver side I could pretty much do it all by feel with blindfolds on.

 

I figure I've got another 25k miles before I have to change the plugs, I'm at 175k miles now and they seem fine.

 

You have never changed them with 175k miles?

 

I am waiting till spring to do mine, I just hit 44k miles.....

 

buy a 5.9l and it takes you 15min to do the plugs lol

 

issue with the fords is that the "L" code engine is the ones you snap plugs in.
