Is there any difference changing plugs in a Lightning, compared to a non-supercharged 5.4 liter engine? I've read the threads about "how to." Just wondering if any differences.

 

No,should be the same thing.Both 5.4 mod motors.
Same heads, same fuel rails, same coil-packs.

 

Nope. It sucks just as bad as a regular 5.4.

 

If anything, I think the L is easier than the N/A 5.4. I don't know why and I can't imagine why, it just seems like it.

The job really isn't that bad. Most problems arise from a fear or reluctance to move things out of the way, especially on the driver's side. Unplugging wiring harness connectors and vacuum lines and plugging them back in takes about 5 minutes, but it saves a lot of time spent working around them. IIRC, there is a P/S reservoir bracket that is held in with 3 bolts that can also be removed very quickly to save lots of time fighting with it. A 1/4" drive 7mm wobble socket will make it a lot easier to get the #7 coil bolt out.

This job can be done in under 2 hours at a leisurely pace if nothing goes wrong.

 

Yes, the 1/4" drive 7mm wiggle is a MUST, in my opinion.

 

Thanks alot guys. I had talked to a couple of shops that wanted to charge extra because of supercharger. Local Ford dealership said s/c had to come off! I will change them myself if I ever get a day off from work.

 

Supercharger definitely does NOT have to come off.

 

Ya what dealer said the blower had to come off! That isnt true. Oh but it is true that the axles have to come off if you want to change the tires.
