Bill, it's nice to hear a trustworthy opinion. I have been learning that some of the first mods i made to my truck years ago were not necessarily smart investments. I have bosch platinum +4 plugs and accel coil packs. I will most likely change back to motorcraft plugs in the next 10k miles, since most dislike the bosch on the tritons. Some on the other forums are insisting that these two items are actually putting my engine in jeopardy. Is it that bad or should i swith back asap? Honestly i never noticed any real difference after installing those items. Perhaps it is affecting mileage?

Motorcraft, denso, ngk run the best for plugs in these motors the bosch can actuallay come apart sending pieces every where in the cylinders ....for the coil packs motorcraft is also recommended .....there are no extra benefits running performance coils other than headaches increase!
