I then informed him I had the Ford EXP Extended Warranty for 75,000 miles and he looked it up and said the broken plugs would be covered by it. I would only assume that the plugs would be covered by the original warranty also.
Probably true, but the OP's truck was a 2004 model, which puts it beyond warranty due to age, regardless of miles.

Check it out, guys...one-piece design, you don't need the $25 tool to gap them (anyone want to buy mine? Don't need it for the 'Stang anymore...), and you'll never have to worry about replacing them when/if the time comes. For the 08.5 models they have redesigned the heads to eliminate the "long plug" design, but for the rest of us, Brisk is as good as it gets.

EDIT: They make up to 2 heat ranges colder than stock for you F/I guys.

I am just happy I did not get ripped off. They could have charged more but did not because they also no it was a bad design. My friend has a 07 FX4 same as mine , he made a appointment same day as mine and they didnt break any of his, the lucky bastard.

Any problems with the brisk plug? Missfires?
I have read not to stray from motorcraft.

Buddy of mine had an AWFUL experience with Bosch plugs in his F150.

I've read many bad anecdotal reviews concerning Champion and Bosch plugs. I still don't see why a particular brand should not work, since spark plug design is so simple, but that's what I can report.

Brisk plugs seem to be OK. I wonder how Ford dealerships feel about them?

Question
Grabber523

Are you running the brisk plug and if so how many miles on them so far? And no problems?



Jack

What is the problem with the injectors?

Getting the feeling that the whole top end was designed by the lowest bidder or first year engineer with no auto experience.
