From what I've been reading on this forum and other places, they fixed it in the 03 redesign.

Got an 06 5.4L EB and love it as well. Luckily, my wife is scared to drive it and prefers the Volvo instead.

Yup. The problem was supposedly solved when the new bodystyle came out.

Correct the problem was solved with the 2V 5.4L. Byt now the 5.4 3V motor, you can't get the plugs OUT without them breaking off in the head.
