This guy isn’t showing you how to get the rearmost spark plugs in the back by the firewall. 😂😂 thumbs down, don’t recommend it

[@otakumagnet8106]

People look up videos like this for the hard to reach one's, not the one right up front. Lol Why even bother posting this?

[@randynix9805]

Hey dude, nice job of showing how to do the easy one. Now let's see well you do with the 4.6 on #7.

[@deionlamb8828]

I think you guys missed a couple steps. Don’t worry y’all just reach back there and get #7 no disassembly required 😂

[@kevinanderson2844]

Just finished up, there's only a few vacuum lines and a coolant hose to the throttle body that I had to remove.
I highly recommend a vacuum to remove debris from the hole. Also, recommended torque values have almost doubled. I put mine at 28 ft-lbs, cold heads and dry threads.

[@Cannibal_Actual]

Just got to reach for the other spark plugs….smh…it’s a little more than that.

[@MichaelSanchez-si3wc]

Thanks for showing us that you have the remove the fuel rail to get to the rest of the spark plugs lol
Not the best video

[@user-uo8cd6de8d]

😂 one of the most useless videos on RUclips. Shows you how to do the easiest ones that pretty much everyone knows how to remove.

[@aggieengineer2635]

I'd love to see how you got the rearmost 4 plugs torqued to 15 foot-pounds. I've watched several videos, and nobody addresses this problem.

[@sammygibson-th8mr]

Yeah, and you're full of hot gas too, bud.
There's quite a lot more to it than just "reaching for them"

[@mattmiller5994]

Yeah, this Waze guy forgets to mention anything about the fuel rail being in the way

[@aperson1727]

Don’t forget to check your old spark plugs for thread savers or size difference due to a previous mishap it’ll save you the hassle of fishing out a smaller spark plug

[@FloridaMan7337]

Dont glob grease on the end like that it can cause misfires just rub a tiny bit on the inside of the boot to prevent sticking

[@magnaflowcatalyticco]

Ive seen it posted to torque plug to 28 foot pounds. on the 5.4l 2v.

[@chrisbuhneing3194]

LOL Funny stuff..

[@zachmiller5599]

So you don't have to take off the fuel rails to get to the back to cylinders?

[@GerardoHernandez-cv2hm]

nice video but why only do the simple one?

[@paulstevens6875]

This is a useless video only showing the easiest one

[@imposter1900]

This video is worthless if trying to get to the back ones!

[@johnpassananti4425]

Why does my 99 F 150 v-8 . 4.6 triton. Have regular sparkplug wires and not ignition coils

[@garrett.m5922]

Any problems with spark plugs on 2v?

[@keephiscommandmentsandlive9860]

How do you know if you need to replace the coil?

[@Tony-yq5fs]

I have a 1997 f150xlt 4.6l can you please send me a video to help me out I have a low budget and wish to do what I can myself you guys are amazing and I love what you do thank you .

[@StormLaker]

Is there a way to tell if a spark plug is blown, but held in place with the ignition coil? This is on my "to do" list, but I'm trying to decide if I need to get the expensive sleeve kit or not.

[@crtedder]

Yea, you make it look easy. How about making a video showing how to get to the hard ones. I've changed all the easy ones. Gonna take it to the Ford dealership and see if they will finish the job for me.

[@everyday80sdude86]

TRQ just wants to sell their cheap crappy parts. 🤷‍♂

[@sambowles5393]

The front three on each side are easy it’s the one furthest back that’s hard

[@StephanieMolinaMusic]

But where are the other spark plugs??

[@ptarushasagame8405]

Couldve posted a video that said "unscrew the plugs" and It wouldve been more helpful than this

[@StationaryNomad361]

Hey that’s so cool. What about the ones in the back…..

[@blackiowa]

Easier said than done.

[@nofool3258]

It's no V3 though id still Torque them spark plugs to 25fp.
