    They can claim anything they want, most companies trying to push a product will. Ive heard no good things about any plugs in these fords than motorcraft, no reason to use anything different.

    I agree normally I would not use anything other than motorcraft but am curious to no and shouldn't take very long to see what the results are? 1 tank of gas to see how it performs! I'll let you no how! Later!

    Alright, your truck, your choice. We can't decide for you, just give you advice. I recall hearing about problems with other plugs however, such as detonation in the cylinders if I recall correctly. These motors are picky with they're parts. However, you may find the E3 plugs to work well for you, just keep us updated and goodluck.

    I always use motorcraft..thats what i ran in my ranger..it did not like auto lite even..so im gonna rent a lisle tool..and get the new plugs for my truck and tear into it..oh and some deep creep and high temp anti seize. But i would have went with the new design spark plug for these motors..ford said there not supposed to break.

    That's why I got this plug because its one piece but am curious that ford said to use the champion plug -which I have used in older models- but have had success with autolites too... Well I'll report how it does if I don't change my mind before I get to change them .lol

    Hey Pat, I know you have the 5.4L and I have the 4.6L, but it should almost be the same process right? And how many miles were on those plugs when you changed them? My truck only has 62,500 miles on it, but since the plugs are 8 years old now, I'm wondering about corrosion and if I should change them.

    Honestly Ryan I dont know, havent worked on a newer 4.6, last one I worked on was a 98. The 4.6's dont have the same plug issues as the 3V 5.4's so it should be pretty straight forward for you.
