Until I get a road in and a bridge built, have to go across a deep draw with huge exposed tree roots. It's the overflow ditch from the dam at the pond. Thats the worst part. Crossing the pasture and the plow furrows is probably doable.

whats the best sparkplug to run in my 06 4.6? I have right at 107,000 miles on it, and I think it's time to change them again.

I don't believe in using anything but Motorcraft unless it's a high performance engine.

How many miles on them? Why change at less than 100,000?

I had 65,500 on mine when I changed them and they looked new when they came out. I could not tell a difference with the new ones, at all.

all the heat cycles of city driving on and off, hot and cool will wear them down fast, especially while you're trying to warm up from a cold start and the A/F is running rich to warm it up quicker.

Oh well, I'm going to change them anyway and see if that helps it to run any smoother. It's real bad when it's up and round 100 degrees out.
