4.6 spark plug change

If you do have to change them.....the 4.6 isnt nearly as bad as the 5.4. however, with some patience and a good set of sockets and extensions, you should be able to handel it. Once you loosen the plug, use a peice of tubing to screw the rest of the way out and to lift out of the hole.

there is a very good step by step instruction sheet on this web. Just do a search

Goodluck

I read the instructions. Looks like an all afternoon project. How long before the next change? By the way, the truck runs great - no engine miss at all.
