what can i expect?

new here, I just bought a 2001 f150, today
5.4 crewcab, 132000 miles. 4x2 I got it from a friend and it is in excellent shape. after agreeing to buy it from him i did internet research and found out about the spark plug prob.

is there anything i should be on the look out for in the future? all maint has been done. truck is entirely stock with all motorcraft replacement parts used.
thanks in advance. look forward to coming here and visiting with you guys.

Spark plug problem is really more of an issue if/when the plugs are changed of making sure they are torqued properly when installed. Who did the spark plug change? If dealer, then I would think they knew enough to torque properly. If not, you might want to get a torque wrench, remove, put antisieze on the threads, torque properly. Kind of a pain but worth the effort for peice of mind.
