    yes, it pays over 3 hours to do this. it is very tight to get to the plugs. i reccomend replacing the coils while you are there as they are a common failure.

    thanks for using repairpal

    Yes. And the Triton engines are known for spark plugs breaking off and/or siezing when removing them. This job is best suited for a trained Ford technician or a comparable shop familiar with these engines.
