You probably will need plugs soon - but with saying that - that might/probably will not be your problem as you described.

This is an article that will explain how to change the plugs out - and they are due at 100K on a 5.4 with COP ignition(just wish my V10 plugs were that 'easy'):http://www.ford-trucks.com/article/i...ter_F150s.html
