I asked the tech how the plugs looked, he said they looked great and he just put them right back in. I can't imagine why you say they're hard to gap, it's a standard design that has been around forever, quite easy to set the gap. Just my $.02 worth.

come on over to the 2004-2008 F-150 world sometime. you'll get a real eye opener.

the Mustang is a popular car...but it has nothing on the pure # of F-150's sold. Almost all the motor and electrical issues that people see here...well unfortunately they exist on that platform as well, and tons more people seem to have it as well.

Damn near everybody with a 04-08 F-150 who ran the Champions ended up with issues. No idea why. But it's a weird phenomena. The Brisk plugs work great...and the Autolite as well (other than the 2 piece design of course).

but enough people got burned by the stuck/broken plugs...that they run the Champions anyways to avoid any more breakage.

sorry about the gapping thing. I meant gapping the 2-piece plugs...but my typing skills suck at times
