plug troubles with F 150
I have a 2006 f 150 V8 5.4L 3v, My truck just truned 27,000 miles I just read about the plug problems with this engine. I went to my Ford dealer to find out more info. They said if it`s not broken then don`t fix it.
I asked what it would cost to have the plugs pulled,they stated $25.00 per plug and $250.oo and if they brake an other $45.00 per broken plug.
I have read that most of these problems have been around 39,000 miles when people start uping plugs.
I am going on the idea that to taking care of this problem now would make more since than to wait .
Has any one out there had this problem with this type of low mileage?????
thanks

Second, I have good news, and I have good news for you:
1) You can get your Motorcraft plugs from O'Reilly's for $7.99 each.

2) The Ford dealer told me that if the plugs are changed by 60K miles, they normally don't break, so I think you are well within that.

I've only broke 2 plugs off in a head my whole life. Both on the same head. And both plugs came out with a large EZout. Not sure how much room there is on your engine. But if the plug does break, getting the thread part out should be real bad.

champion makes a 1 piece plug for the 3V now, the hex, thread, and extension are all one piece, so they dont break off. you might wanna look into those. and also they have a 5/8 regular size hex. link here: i've heard good things about them from the local mechanics around here.
