Consumer Description

SPARK PLUGS CANNOT BE CHANGED BECAUSE OF DESIGN OF CYLINDER HEAD. THIS IS A SPARK PLUG BREAKAGE INSIDE THE HEAD. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON 5.4 LITER FORD MOTORS AS REPORTED ON FORUMS AND THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH. 1998 TO 2008 MOTORS ARE NOTORIOUS LEADING CONSUMERS TO EITHER PAY HUGE REPAIR BILLS OR TRADE BEFORE THEY WISH TO TRADE. ALSO, SOMEONE WISHING TO CHANGE HIS PLUGS FOR PROPER EMISSIONS OR PROPER MAINTENANCE IS JUST SCREWED. SCARED TO DEATH TO HAVE THEM CHANGED EVEN AT A DEALERSHIP. FORD MECHANICS EVEN HAVE TROUBLE.THIS IS NO FEW VEHICLES. THIS IS WIDESPREAD.
