Sparkplug question 5.4
I have a 2005 f 350 with a 5.4 and 25,000kms on it.I have been reading a lot on the sparkplugs breaking off in the head.I understand my mileage is low but the truck is 5 years old and spends all winter outside.Should I just change the plugs know and should I soak them down with something first.
I have been on the forum a few times to read what people have to say and thought I should join.
Thanks

I had a 99 SD with the 5.4. When I did my plugs I blew out all the plug hole well. I sprayed a little wd 40 down each hole and let it sit for a while, then blew it all out again. Then I loosend the plugs 1/2 to a full turn and blew the holes out again.
As Jack said some antiseize and most of all torque them correctly.
