Spark plug torque spec?
I have a 2018 F250 6.2 gas and have a new set of spark plugs.
What is the proper torque for tightening the plugs, and the plug gap?
Also has anyone seen a Chilton repair manual for these trucks?

- Spark plug gap 0.042 –0.046 in ( 1.07 –1.17 mm)

alot of engines youll need a mile of ratchet extensions and wobbly joints to get plugs in and out. if this is the case your better off just going by feel.
if your handy and want to know where 13 or 18lb is, just buy a extra plug and get small piece of aluminum. drill hole and tap threads. clamp it in your vice and see where the book torq spec is in relation to when the crushwasher bottoms. then youll know to go 1/8 or 1/4 or whatever past washer collapse
