I Have 60,000 Miles On My v-10 I Know The Book Says 100,000 Miles Between Tuneup's.... Has Any One Replaced The Plugs And How Did They Look?? Looks Pretty Easy To Do, Except Those Back Ones..
Iam also thinking of this to.
Is there anything else you have to change at the same time??

If you guys do decide to replace your plugs, make sure you buy good double platinum plugs. Autolite and Motorcraft are the only plugs I would use. Champions, IMHO, are not that great. Just be careful not to break the ignition wires when you pull them out. To break the seal between the plug and wire, twist the wire by the boot, then pull the wire by the boot straight up. When installing the new plugs, put a dab of anti-sieze on the threads. This will make it easier to take the plugs out the next time. Also make sure to put a dab of dielectric grease on the end of the wire boot. This will help prevent moisture from getting in and corroding the wire end.
Good Luck!
David

Wires?? We don't have no stinkin wires... [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] The 5.4L and 6.8L engines have coil on plug ignitions. From what I've read about the 5.4L, the plugs are down deep. You'll need plenty of extentions and wobbles. Buy a tube of anti-seize too.
