Consumer Description

2004-2007 F-150 TRUCK SAY TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS OUT AT 100K. THE DEALERS SAY $300 TO CHANGE BUT IF THEY SNAP OF IT COULD COST MORE? THEY ALMOST ALWAYS SNAP!!! FORD HAS A SPARK PLUG THAT SNAPS IN HALF WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE OUT DO TO CARBON BUILD UP. BAD DESIGN AND THEN IS ABOUT $88 HR FOR A TECH TO FIX.
