Best Spark Plugs

I was wanting to know what everyone thinks wuld be the best spark plugs for my 02' f-350 with the v-10? I have heard that changing them may be a problem so I want to do it this winter while I am not using the truck. Any help would be great. Thankyou

The ONLY spark plugs you should be using in the V10 are Motorcraft's

I've got NGKs in my v10, and they are just fine. I had them in my 5.4 superduty to, and didnt have any trouble.

I just put a new set of NGKs in my 01 Accord V6 - the orginals has 121k on them and we still 'OK', but were due for replacement. I was impressed with thier condition.

Not sure what is in the X right now, but I'll be pulling those one day soon and I'm leaning towards NGKs for it as well.

I have a rule for my equipment. If its japanesse it gets an NGK. If its a Ford it gets MC or Autolites. A Bosch plug works nice for holding papers down in the trash can.

My engines built in Canada....eh. Trucks assembled in KY. Of course the parts are from all over.

I can get MC or Autolites pretty much anywhere. NGKs are a quality plug though.

Not according to piles of people with stock Mustangs with the 4.6L, and quite a few people with the 5.4/6.8

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
