If you've never done it on a 4.6 or 5.4l from 97 to 03 it will take you 2 to 3 hours to do. They are what I would call a more difficult tune up too do on. Make sure you torque the plugs to spec as they have been known to work there way out while running.

Very common for even professional mechanics to skip that plug. It's a rat's nest back there.



If a mechanic skips that plug I would not call him professional at all.

I hear you there, but you know what I mean.

BEWARE! you get what you pay for...

That is not always true. Mostly you pay too much.
