Was a bad cop for me , and I had the misfire codes read. The cops are the same, so why not use a used one if it solves your issue? The ones on your truck now are used also.

Mechanic tells me #3 and#4 plugs are cross threaded and stuck in the head,these are the ones that are causing the miss says it's a big job and doesn't even want to fix it.I think I'm better off just finding another head,any ideas on what other 4.6 heads will work?

you need to find a new mech. if they are crossthreade, you can get a kit from standard that includes thread fixer, plug and boot and spring for about 80 bucks. use sparkplug socket to screw it in
