New to Excursion! Great info!

New the the world of Excursion. Great forum! Lots of good info. Changed spark plugs today, it went real smooth. Soon to replace a few broken exhaust studs.

Welcome to FTE, you're going to love your Excursion. Did you use anti-seize and what torque value did you use on the plugs?

Yes on the anti-seize finger tight all the way down and 14lbs on the torque. I already love it. The mileage is not all that different than the Hemi Dodge Ram I had.
