I changed mine myself at 110,000 miles. (2005, 5.4L) I asked the dealer for a quote and the service tech said $400 for plugs only. If I wanted new boots on the COPs, it would be more. If anything were to break, that would add to the cost.
I decided to buy the plugs myself, some penetrating oil, the anti-seize, the boots, and the dielectric grease. Took my time, followed the TSB almost to the letter
, and had the whole job done in about 3.5 hours. Total out of pocket was about $165. I admit I was nervous as heck about breaking off a plug. Even thought that #7 had broken but my socket had only slipped off the plug. After changing my drawers on that one, the job went fairly smoothly. The only part I removed for access was the PCM and its mouting bracket. Nothing else.
