🤣 - I had a 2001 F150 with the 5.4 Triton. I was dreading changing the plugs on it for over a year. When I finally did, I learned that they had already been changed out by the previous owner. I had prepared myself to do major surgery to get the broken ones out, luckily I didn't have to..
Huh?
The plugs on that engine were never a problem to change.

They would occasionally liberate themselves, but the bad ones to change were the early 3 valve motors .

Your 2 valve version was by all accounts an excellent unit.
It bothers me that Ford uses the same name for multiple engines this is one example why.

So why did I have so sign the broken plug waiver, bring my '12 Expedition the day before and they charged me 1500 for plug change at 100k?

That bs is why I traded in my 04 with 98k miles. I chose to trade it in and use the plug money for extra down. Asked the Service Manager that I had been using for years what it would cost. Plugs were $20 each, total with labor would be about $800. Asked him what happens if a plug split/broke and he said the price goes up. F'that

I normally do all my own work, but with my luck, I'd have one break and it would be stuck in my garage
 
I guess my meme wasn't crude enough to stick...smh...I am done here.
The mods will silently delete them if they're bad enough. Ask me how I know 😂

But, this isn't an airport 😜

Because in the post i was responding to.... the only vehicle you referenced was your 2001 f150.

Not your 2012 Expedition. My 2013 Expedition's 5.4 was a pos too.

I believe you may have gotten them mixed up. the 2001s were very reliable, aside from the occasional stripped plug thread. 15 minute fix with proper tools

🤷‍♂️

POS???? My '12 Expy had 275k on the clock when I sold it for 8k..original transmission and motor...had to put a water pump on it at about 150k, besides gen maintenance.
I can't make the same statement about my Tremor. It's had 2x the parts replaced including the tranny and t case and it just hit 95k...Its been a huge disappointment, I won't be buying another one.
