Hi 350Recon - that was what my research found as well. The dealer replaced the bad plug wire with a D Series. I ordered a set of OEM (with a spare) as well as sparkplugs from Ford dealership at for $25 each (plugs $6).

I have two spares with the truck just in case. When I change the plugs and wires I will just rotate them in.

Looking at post #14...Not for the part (which was actually of $67), but to actually change the wire. Unless I'm missing something, that's highway robbery.

Not sure why they charged him so much but even the labor was crazy high at $344.

It does sux. I understand they have to make money but with so many vehicles on the road every repair doesn't need to be a gorge feast.
