Why do people still use aerokroil for the soak during a 5.4 3v plug change? Insane!!! Poor guy in the 04-08 section found out the hard way.

Buy a truck that doesnt need spark plugs.

Yes but they are still a heck of a lot easier to change than the plugs on 3V 5.4.

these new plugs will break the ceramic if you dont use the correct socket size becasue the original plug socket size changed from 15mm to a 7/16s i believe
