Common fitment includes 2004-2008 Ford F-150, 2005-2008 Ford Expedition, and 2005-2008 Lincoln Navigator applications, along with other listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models.
Common Issues This Part Addresses
- Rough idle caused by worn spark plug electrodes
- Hard starting from weak or inconsistent spark output
- Misfire conditions related to aged ignition components
- Reduced throttle response from degraded plug performance
- Service intervals shortened by standard copper plug wear
Installation Notes and Tips
- Verify engine code, cam cover date, and OE plug specification before installation.
- Confirm the 0.044 in. gap requirement against the vehicle application notes.
- Use a 5/8 in. spark plug socket for the 16 mm hex.
- Inspect coil boots and ignition coils during service, especially on Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, and Ford Mustang applications.
- Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification for tapered-seat plugs.
