I put a lot of miles on my truck for work purposes. I thought my fuel economy was dropping so I pulled the front spark plugs to check their condition today.
The rear three plugs are under the intake manifold. I was just curious if anyone has changed the plugs on their 3.5L engine ?. I assume the plastic intake manifold has to be removed if I ever have to replace them in the future.
My front factory plugs looked fine, the gaps were over .054" (that was the largest feeler gauge I had). I think the new Ford plugs start around .051" gap from what I could see. The plugs came out pretty dry.
Thanks for reading.
