spark plug questions

i usually don't ask spark plug questions but it seems to be important decision on this truck. i have an 06. i was watching trucku the other night and they were changing the plugs on a f150 and mention about how the two piece factory plugs come apart when you try to pull them out. they mentioned that the champion plugs 7989 where machined out of a single piece of metal and fixed this problem.

so my questions what do you guys think? is there any other brand that uses a one piece design?

what are the trq specs for the plugs? and what gap? for a 2006

the new design plugs from Ford motorcraft are one-peice aswell and they work better in these motors then aftermarket units..

no one really seems to know why this is, but it just is..

def make sure you dont get any old stock 2-peice plugs if you do go to Ford for plugs.
