First time I ever tried to do 5.4 plugs I started in back and a coworker started in back on the other side, both plugs stripped and we had to have the truck towed to the dealer.

he really should be saying 2 valve or 3

but I guess that is splitting hairs


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

2 valve 5.4's like to shoot the plugs out when under a load.

3 valve 5.4's like to break the plugs off when you go to remove them.

So if I had to choose I would take the day off and let someone else mess with them.

Oh, come on now. They're not so bad if you've got the tool to remove the broken ones.

I am sure but we dont touch 3 valve plugs where I work and I am good with that. Putting inserts in the 2 valves when they blow a plug aint terrible but isnt fun either, always seems they blow either #3 or #4 so your under the heater hoses and the cowl with the plug wells angled backwards every time. But I believe your a Ford guy if memory serves me correct, and I am a die hard GM guy so I am biased. LOL

Just sold my 08 5.4 , 3 valve. Hope the guy made it home before the check engine light came on.
That ruck was cursed I think, timing kit at 60,000 miles then complete engine rebuild at 100,000 miles.
Still not right so now it's someone else's problem. And yes I disclosed everything to him before the sale.

Enjoying my 5.0 coyote engine in the newer truck.

When I hear you guys that actually know how to do stuff when it comes to mechanics I certainly feel a twinge of jealousy. Most of my life I've lived at the mercy of you guys that are handy that way.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

You can add the 6.2 boss to that. Trick is the motor must be warm when removing the plugs. Still a pita though
