What a pain. There has to be a trick to it though. Do all late model F-150's use a two-piece plug? Or, did they get smart and change it?

I think the actual head was redesigned in 07 which fixed the issue from happening. I'm not sure if the plug itself was changed though.

Interesting theory Zach!
The only part I disagree with is with the anti-seize. In the video link posted by Dan, it shows putting Nickel anti-seize on the GND shield. Check out this link, Nickel anti-seize is good for 2400F, which shouldn't burn off: http://www.neverseezproducts.com/antiseize.htm |

I wasnt aware it was good for that many degrees... Does the properties of it change though when it is warmed up?

I heard they went to a conventional plug in late '07.
You do know that champion makes a single piece plug for 04-07 right? |

I'm not so sure about that bob. I know they changed the design but I thought it was still a plug with a long shield.

Zach, you are correct, Champion is capitalizing on the 5.4L plug breakage problem, here is a video: However, I have a pet peeve, I DO NOT use Champion plugs in ANYTHING! I did find some new news: I have heard that Ford dealers have been using a Seafoam treatment, and letting it set overnight before removing the plugs, and have good results. |

I did find that there is a class action law suit against Ford for the 5.4L spark plug problem:
