Arrow Spark Plug Opinions

Im at about 65,000 miles so I figure its a good time to replace the plugs. What do you guys recommend for plugs? I was looking at the NGK Iridiums for my truck. You think they would be a good plug to replace the stock ones or do you guys have any better suggestions? Thanks!

On a Ford, Motorcraft only

I tried Bosch Platinum in the missus Crown Vic and they didn't last, a mechanic friend said stay with only Motorcradt.

Motorcraft.

I'm a tune-up tech at a high volume Ford dealership- I'm happy to say that Bosch plugs have paid my house note several times.

Oh and, I meant to add...

If your engine was not stock and had some heavy mods, Id say definitely go for some NGKs or other plugs.

But if you are stock or just mildly modded (air intake, exhaust, maybe a chip and e-fans), stay with the motorcrafts.

I've had nothing but trouble with Motorcraft plugs in my Fords. I live in a very humid environment, and they just rust into dust.

A bunch of guys at work race Ford trucks, and they all use Bosch Platinum plugs. On their advice, I tried them, and I couldn't be happier with the performance. I put the Bosch plugs into all my vehicles and haven't had a problem.

i just put in motorcraft awsf-22c's (copper) and noticed a big increase in power and throttle response. Idle is alot smoother and runs better.
