Default Updated TSB on Broken Spark Plugs

I just saw this updated TSB on F150online.com about the issue with the broken spark plugs on the 3v motor. Its funny how no one on here is really complaining about this yet (I assume because most of us haven't put the miles on yet, and the cars are still relatively new), but over on the F150 forums, this dominates the boards. Loads of people with broken plugs and all sorts of nastiness!

Rather than copy and paste over all 11 pages of the TSB, you can find all the information here --> http://www.f150online.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=328090

It even has a photo of what some of the broken plugs look like.

Yeah, but this is the first time I've seen the Mustangs actually listed on the TSB. There's also a procedure on how to remove the broken porcelain instead of having to remove the head. I think Hicompression can relate to that one right at the moment.

Holy crap guys.. chill. I noticed about 1or 2other posts in here, and Irarely visit the 4.6 onlysection so I figure I'd post if, especially since the TSB was updated. Would you prefer another "What backspace do I need" or "What CAI is the best" thread?

We weren't getting on you. Just trying to educate folks on the recent posts and threads, some which were about the undated TSB. Some say it doesn't work, that you need a warm engine.
