It's the 4.6L's too. The Mustang has that problem. I heard the 08 Mustangs came with a one piece design tho. I'm sure Mustang owners change their plugs more than F150 owners since people mod the crap out of Mustangs versus F150's.
I'd either change them to one peice when the truck was brand new, or leave them in there forever. You don't need to change them til well over 100,000 anyways and are you gonna keep it til it has 100K. I wouldn't. I've got a 97 F150 with almost 124K now. My Dad's 03 has 135K and they are both still running strong with original plugs. A friend of mine has a 97 Expedition and he changed his for the first time at 300,000. He's got 330,000 on it now. He runs a delivery company.

You guys should change your plugs. Your trucks would run so much better
It's a piece of cake to do them

yeah but what if they snap?
I doubt it. I've had the truck since 87,000 miles and it's run exactly the same since then.
End spark plug and oil chat........time to talk about the car....
I got here a few minutes early and mounted the ABS wire bracket to the struts, mounted up the flex line brackets to the frame rail. After work I want to mount the ABS wire harness bracket that is on the frame rail and install the new flex lines that I ordered this morning. The old ones had splits in the rubber.
30 minutes or and hour here and there adds up. Can't work hard on it til maybe Sunday again.
If you do the job right, they won't snap. 99% of the people who snap the plugs are doing them with a warm engineand torquing them to tight.
I did mine @ 105K. No broken plugs and truck runs better.
yea ok

Doing them right has nothing to do with 3V plugs. The carbon locks the 3V plugs in there. 2 peice design=SNAP.
Picked up my Raybestos front brake lines. (Made in China, how nice!!!!)
16 bucks each and he threw in 4 new copper washers and the right line looked to have a different size fitting than the stockers, so he threw in the union that you need for the hard line as well. I like them guys, they always hook me up.
thats not the answer to my question, so i'll ask again
What if they snap?
