2007 ford truck spark plugs changing?

Is there some special proceedure to changing spark plug in a 5.4 ford truck engine? I did alot of 4.6 fords. Are they the same?

Added (1). are the plugs from ford ok?

The Ford F150 with the 3 valve 5.4 liter engine is tough to change the plugs in, they tend to break plugs off in the heads. Before you start find a parts store or repair shop that has access to Ford technical service bulletins and have them print a copy of TSB 08-7-6 for you. It describes the recommended procedure for removing the plugs and removing the ones that break off without damaging the head or the engine. I don't know how mechanically inclined you are but unless this truck has over 100k miles on it or you know for a fact it has a bad plug, leave them alone. I don't want to sound like I'm trying to scare you but I'm a service manager at a Ford dealer, when I quote customers a price to change plugs in this engine I tell them to expect 6 hours labor on average to remove broken plugs plus the expense of the pins and loctite needed to remove them. The tool kit ford sells to remove the plugs is around $600, in all honesty if your truck needs plugs you will better off taking it to a mechanic that is experienced working on this engine and pay them to do the job. If you still think you want to attempt this job let me know what your e-mail is and I will send you the TSB. As for the Ford plugs, definitely use them.

Same procedure, just don't use multitip platinum plugs.

I think they are the same.

Take your POS Ford to the junk yard, where it belongs. Buy a Chevy. Stop talking. Do not procreate.

  • Why did my car start rolling on its own when changing the spark plugs? I got a ford 1999 taurus SE, when I was changing the spark plugs and wireset in the back part of the engine it, I felt it start rolling back. I had it in park, I quickly ran to the drivers side and put the E brake on but I still don't understand why it did that. It drove fine after that and so did the parking brake but wtf?

  • 1999 Ford escort water in spark plugs? Car shut off while driving so i pulled over to find a huge hole in the crank and motor oil spilling out.
