if it's the 4.6, you've gotta be careful with the spark plugs. in '03 they doubled the threads, but the '02 and earlier ones are prone to stripping out (some people have even had them blow out of the head). you should torque them no tighter than 20 ft-lbs.

not sure about torque specs on the lug nuts. i've never used a torque wrench, i just go by feel and have never had a lug nut come loose, or strip out from being over tight. i worked at a repair shop and we sold tires though so you learn by feel how tight is too tight.
