Spark plug replacement questions
Hey Guys,
I have a 2002 f250 super duty v-10 with a 140,000 miles on it. I bought the truck 2 months ago and dont know the history on it at all. So with the high miles in mind im just replacing stuff that i think needs it or should be done. Fuel filter, belts, cleaning the gas tank, oil, anitfreeze, trani fluid, on and on. So my question it i'm planning on replacing the spark plugs and read up on how to do it but what else should i replace if im there anyways. Should i do the spark plug boots as well? and is there anything else? Thanks

If your well aware of the proper procedures as well as the possible issues regarding replacing the plugs and are comfortable with them just inspect the COP's and the boots. If they look good, applying the Dielectric grease is the only standard requirement. Air filter wasn't in your list but im sure your plan was for that as well.
Many people clean the MAF sensor but if you don't have any drivability issues i'd leave it alone. There's a proper procedure for this as well but they are a bit delicate.
