Stick with the motorcraft. It's a good plug, and since your model is in the year of the dreaded spark plug blow, its also the best fit. Make sure you torque those plugs correctly when installing (see the other posts on this subject).

Still working on this issue. Speed odometer is still off
Update:<O
I had my computer updated thru ford dealership & put on new E rated tired LT265/75R-16. I took a GPS with me on a trip last month to see if the problem had been fixed. <O
Results: <O
Tach @2000rpms my speedometer reads I am going 70mph, but my GPS reads that I am only going 64mph.<O

The trip meter on my truck was way off from the trip meter on the GPS.<O

Has anyone come across this? My truck is 6mph off. <O

*The GPS unit has been tested & is right on.

I had mentioned earlier that my truck had a ping under a load. Well I found & fixed the problem. The problem was my PCV hose. The hose got too soft and claps
