Good luck, i am do for that soon so any tips are greatly appreciated! I heard some the the engine warm and other like to use an air ratchet on it. It sounds like having the removal too is the key.

Well, the good news is that I got all 8 plugs out no problem! The bad news is that they gave me the wrong plugs at the Ford Dealership. I'd heard a rumor that they changed plug design in 07 or 08....well, it's true they're a normal looking spark-plug. The dealership gave me the 04-06 style plugs, but they're open for another two hours and have the new ones in stock!
Also, I guess I won't be posting a How-To for the Lisle tool.I'll post up a few pictures of the 08 style plugs and such though, or maybe even do an 07-08 5.4L Spark Plug change How-To if I get ambitious.

That's good to hear, glad none of them broke during removal.

There are a couple of right ups in the form under 4.6/5.4 . It's pretty strait forward how to . Not to bad to change really it does take a little longer to do.

I went from motorcraft to some E3 spark plugs and they're 15mm and the E3's are 5/8 standard size is that fine?
Yes it's fine ! I've used them and like the performance with them! Let us no what you think of them if you would . I don't drive mine a lot cause I have a company vehicle that I drive for work f250.nice

I think I've asked this before but don't remember and can't find the right thread. So...I'm going to replace my COP's when I change my plugs and was wondering if I had to go Motorcraft for those too? I'm using Motorcraft plugs but do I have to use Motorcraft COP's too or does it matter. Also looking at Rockauto.com I see some brands have the coil wire included and some say it's not included, it looks like a spring almost. Do I need a set that comes with it or no?

If it were my truck I'll just replace the plugs. And replace COP as needed.
U can use aftermarket cop if you wish. Make sure u get some that have been proven good. As some cheap ones give out RFI and can cause issues.

I've just been reading around and hear some people say there's we're brittle and broke when they changed the plugs. I don't want that to happen and not have any spares and be SOL until I can get them lol. And Denso has a decent priced set and I know Ford actually uses Denso parts because when I installed my new speakers I believe it was the window actuator that ha the Denso name right on it.
And do I need to get the coil wire spring thing too or no?
