I have a 99 F150 with around 90k miles on it. So far I've been doing the normal maintenance. Changed the fuel filter.

What else can/should I do at this time to keep it running good?

It runs fine now and want it to keep it that way!

I've tried to do some searches on the board but no luck. I have a 99 F150 V6 /auto. Has anyone replaced the spark plugs on this before? I would like to know if this is something I should do at home or am I better off taking it to a mechanic to replace them. I can see the plugs ok but do not know if anyone has had problems removing them.

Ideas?

Helped my friend do the plugs on his V6. Wasn't hard. Some aren't well accessible but with a universal joint on your extensions you should be fine. Definitely much more a home job than the small V8.
