Spark Plugs

[Dixie Design]

I was quoted upto $740 if all the plugs broke, about $450 if none of them did at the dealership here in town. A dealership up the road quoted me under $300, which I almost took advantage of, but it just wasn't a good time of the year for me so I tackled it myself. I printed out the TSB, followed it to a "T" and didn't break a single plug. Took me maybe 2 hours.

At my dealership in Tucson (Jim Click Ford), they say they don't have problems with the plugs either. I'm firmly convinced that people who do are trying to "rush" things a bit - which I suspect would be very easy to do.

Glad to hear you had such good success, Dixie!

Also not a lot of people mentioning this.

Buy a toothpaste size tube of dielectric grease and not those little vial size ones. The only reason I add this is that those cop boots need to have a generous coating on them to help seal out the moisture.

When coating the shanks of the plugs a light coating of the tsb's antiseaze is prefered from the bottom of the threads to just before the end of the shank. Do not apply around electrode area. The tsb is quite straight forward.
