Spark Plugs
03 Ranger Edge. 6cly. (code V) FFV, 5 speed Auto, 2WD.
Owners manual sez use AGSF-22PP for this engine. Is this the correct plug or only because you might use E85? A reg non V engine uses a -32PP.
I have also heard that the correct plug is AGSF12FMF6. This is 1 heat range cooler than the -22PP and 2 heat ranges colder than the -32PP. Any inputs on which would work best in my truck?

A lot of good and knowledgeable people (like Ken00) would even recommend a "colder" Motorcraft plug on the 3.0L vulcan, this is one of the ways to help fend off the annoying pinging that it is somewhat prone to.
The Motorcraft FM or "fine wire" series plugs are now the OEM replacements for Fords with the DIS/EDIS ignition systems, they take the place of the PP (double platinum) series plugs.

Bob, do you experience any fouling with those colder plugs? My Dad has problems with his 3.0L pinging, especially in warmer weather. I have held off suggesting a colder plug to him simply because I'm concerned about plug fouling.
