Glad you did , Yes you save $200 , I change mine every 50K-60K miles , I don't care what the Spark plugs manufacture said , in my opinion after 65k miles spark plugs start to fail

Changed my plugs and wires today. Was going to get the AC Delco's; however, went with Borg Warner wires and NGK Iridium plugs. The old plugs looked very good, especially for 86K miles and were easy to remove. Whole thing took about an hour to complete. I did notice that the engine ran smoother and had more pep.

This is out of context but may be helpful for many people ....

If you are buying a Ford F150 with the 5.4 triton engine ... Notice the spark plugs change could cost you between $500 to $2000

Yes you read well ... The spark plugs usually break in half leaving one half stuck in the head .. A special tool is needed to remove it , even sometime the head needs to be removed

Just to let you know ... I would like to know this before buy mine
