v10 sparkplugs
I started with passenger rear I have found over the years starting with the hard part makes the job go easer. I torked to 18 ft pd w/antisize I have read the boots tear easly i gently twested &wiggled all boots saved truck has 109000 miles so they can be reused just be gentel when removeing boots

When I change plugs I have enough new boots on hand just in case--found mine at NAPA for $4.29 each, USA-made Belden products no less, p/n 702418. At 100K miles I'd have changed them all anyway since they don't last forever. That's just my way though...
With anti-seize 21-22 ft/lbs torque would be fine too, spec is 14 without anti-seize.
Pick ups are much easier than a van----first step is to remove front seats!

I had the cowl off my E450 yesterday (for a smog check)and they all look like they are just sittin there waiting for me - am I missing something? My impression was that this will be easier than a truck because access is so good to the rear plugs.

I'd think with a pick up you're reaching from the front or sides of the motor and for me there's not a comfortable position to work. At least with our vans we get to lay down!
