Re: WARNING Sparkplug problems- 5.4 Triton engine

Ok, 3 years later update:
Still driving this truck every day and running the same set of Champions. Truck has 263,000 miles, so there's 163K on the plugs.
I've had to replace 5 or 6 coil packs but (so far) the Champs are still working fine.
My gas mileage has stayed consistent (14- 17 MPG depending on roads).
Cold starts I hear a valve tap for a couple seconds, otherwise the engine is fine. Hoping to get another reliable 100K before replacing the truck.
