Blown Plug; Kit, plugs, process
Okay
I blew out #2 today
Prior 6.8 I didn't have an issue with plugs
about a week ago there was the irrefuatable exhaust leak. Assuming that 17 years had taken 1 or 2 of the studs on the passenger side I ordered the stud kit and planned on doing it next weekend.
Upon our return from a 70 mile trip I blew a plug about 15 miles from home pulling our 36' ft camper.
Removing the plug and debris I unplugged the coil and injector and drove it home, camper in tow.
Making it home about 2 hours ago I have dug into options online and referred to tech section on details on here for what to buy and best process.
Now I already have a set of SP 479 to put in the truck.
they are marked AGSF22WM
What is the difference to the gsf22w
-is the GSF the longer plug that makes the depth of the cyl head threads?
Secondly; I can not decide on what kit to purchase or if I should remedy the 2 plug hole or go through all of them. I was going to go purchase a dorman kit and put that in tonight; but I'm not sure that's something I want to do on a truck I plan keeping for another 150k miles or more.
Please help with;
plug type
Kit to use
Fix 1 or go through all
Thank you guys & gals

what year is your rig?
straight from my Owners manual for a 2000 Excursion
use AWSF-22E (Platinum)
More Information for MOTORCRAFT SP479
so it looks like those SP479 are correct

That exhaust leak that started to be heard last week very well may have been that plug when it worked loose, lots of folks report a similar sound prior to popping a plug out.
Time-cert or Stitch-lock are the best repair options from what I have read, you don't want a Helicoil for the plug hole repair.

that is exactly what I was looking for; thank you
I was going off the Sammi post with her replacement in the Tech folder, but wanted to know what plug was the longer.
I have already what I need for plugs
