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?

I've had horrible luck with Bosch, particularly on supercharged applications. Don't know why, but is just the way it is. Champions always worked in my lawnmowers and are also good in Chryslers, but GM and Ford don't seem to like them very much.

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.

Lars, it may not effect your truck. Those of us with certain 2005 F150, F-Super Duty, Expy's and Navigators with the 5.4L 3V engine have injectors that MAY stick in the open or closed position. This, of course, can make your engine run badly, but if stuck open, I think can lead to hydro lock (which is pretty serious damage).

The warranty on the fuel injectors has been extended to 11 years or 120K miles.

Interestingly, the letter does not say anything about them being responsible for "collateral damage" should it occur, but I think Ford IS taking care of it (for now).
