    That's good to hear. That was a costly problem for those who aren't mechanically inclined.

    Thanks a million for this post. I have a 06 5.4L with 78000 miles on it. I have been meaning to change them but a little intimidated on the plug issue. I bought the truck with 30000 on it and have religiously change oil at 3000 with synthetic and used Lucas fuel system treatment at every oil change. My brother in-law is a master tech and refuses to change them... lol. Hopefully I'll have as much luck as you did....

    The 3 Valve 5.4's dont have the same problem with blowing plugs out of teh head like the 2 Valve 5.4's so no helicoils needed. The 04+ 5.4's plugs tend to stick in the head sometimes requiring a special tool to remove them.

    Got it done! five broke off, but with the Lisle tool it was amazingly easy! I'll try to post pictures later.
