What's a good set of plugs
for this truck?the prices
are all over the place.

I would recommend staying with OEM Motorcraft plugs. That's what we use in our Ford trucks at work

i would agree also. why buy junk.

Motorcrafts from Rockauto were half price of local.

Any particular number
there are a few?

check what your truck has in it, and then check what it calls for. in other words its the parts mans job.

If you are alone about repair quotes, stick with someone you trust. We quote up to 8 hours but should be less. Just depends on how many break and how hard they are stuck.

For the people that dont know, that is the 5.4 3v. They are two piece plugs and they have a long snout. The carbon from the engine embeds in it and seizes them. They then snap in half and leave half buried in the head.

If you do it yourself get the Lisle tool for extracting the broken pieces. Its the same tool the tool truck sells. MAKE SURE YOU BLOW OUT ALL THE DEBRIS FROM THE CYLINDER!! You dont want to leave the ceramic in there.

Hope that helps

Don't worry about what is in the truck, more than likely the part number has been superseded at least once anyway. You are wanting the SP-546 ( PZK14F ) This is the latest design, it's called a one piece plug, it's still two piece but the crimp/seat is more robust and the two pieces are also welded. I have removed dozens of those plugs without breaking them. If this truck has original or early design plugs I would expect at least one to break.

That's what we always use was motorcraft and had very good luck with them.
