motorcraft wires??

I am going to be replacing some stuff on my truck and noticed there are no Motorcraft plug wires on any autoparts store for the 5.0

I do find them for the 5.8L, so would it matter to use those or is there going to be a big difference?

I have everything Motorcraft besides the wires.

Thats all I will use on my truck. I thought the number for the 5.0 was WR-4093. Summit Racing has them. Summit or Ebay has the best price. I think Advance Auto and/or Orielly's has or can get them. Don't buy them from the dealer, way over priced.

I'm fairly sure that's the part number that comes up for my 1995. I have them on the truck right now and have a box of them on the shelf for later on.

Here is a set on eBay for a 89 F-150 with a 5.0L 302.

MOTORCRAFT WR-4017C Spark Plug Wire Set | eBay

If you search the part number WR-4017-C, there are around 30 sets listed on eBay.

I just realized something. I think I know why my 95 wires are different. Its because of the change in firing order. Sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure why you can't find any listed for your truck.
