2004 f-150 5.4 L Triton Plugs

Just found today that it could cost $500 to $1500 give or take, to change the plugs in this 2004 f-150 5.4 L Triton truck. and the service manager told me if they break a plug that it will be another $91.00 per cylinder to remove the broken plugs, so it will cost me more for something that they have broken.

The dealership never told me any of this when I bought the truck, of course. I strongly feel that this something Ford should have to eat. Their is no reason why it should cost this much to have the spark plugs changed in a vehicle. and I would say that their will be no more FORDS parked in the driveway.

My 5.4L spark plugs
by: Anonymous

We purchased new aftermarket spark plugs (not the factory two-piece design) and my local repair shop replaced all eight plugs without any breakage at around 99k miles for around $144.00. The local garage was even kind enough to let me supply the spark plugs and I let them perform the work - no breakage and still came out cheaper than other shops - especially the dealerships.

i work in a ford dealer and we due the tune up on those engines for 399.00 it includes an injector service and a remove carbon service. If the plugs break i have to remove them at no additional charge (if its one or all eight). I take the loss. the dealer does not pay me anymore for broken plugs. now fords engineering flaw costs me not the customer and the dealer comes out o.k because its a flat rate.
