spark plug change

I have 04 Expy EB 5.4 that is reaching 93k mi. I am planning on doing the spark plug change and had read the horror stories on the spark plug sticking. Is this that severe? What would be a reasonable rate to bring to mechanic to do the spark plug change?

I would say find out what the labor rate is at your local dealership and then figure on at least $20 to $30 less if you go elsewhere. Check with friends and relatives on shops they recommend.

Stick with the dealer you may have luck returning and getting work done free if you have problems read the blown spark plug thread

$220 at my local Ford Dealer and they are pricey. It is not that bad of a job but you must have a torque wrench that has inch lbs not foot lbs.
