Spark Plugs
*Note, I am driving a '13 that came with the updated plugs.
Over the Holidays I went ahead and changed out the plugs on my Ecoboost.
67,973 miles on the clock.
Over the last year or so I have been getting a little bit of rough idle, mostly when cold be lately even when warm.
5 of the 6 plugs were still on the money gapped @.30.
The 6th was way out...
Replaced plugs and boots, no real need to replace the boots, but I was there and had them on hand.
The truck now idles so smooth I have a hard time telling when it is running.
Great result for me.... less than $50 spent.
Wife even noticed the difference.
I plan to go further before the next change.... unless I notice the rough idle return.

It was the first one I pulled so I didn't look that close at it.
All the others were on the money.
There is always the possibility it was damaged when installed.
Truck has had a little rough idle or a long time... mostly when the engine was cold.
For the last few months I stated noticing it when warm.

I was going to do 75k.
Just happened I had a little time and the weather was good.
75k would have been Mid February.... so, close enough.
