[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1690575, member: 26138"] It's not so much the threads, the plug electrodes are long and extended way down past them, almost like a glow plug. When removing them, if one breaks, the threaded portion of the plug and the electrode will come out, but the ground strap and outer casing will remain stuck in the cylinder head. Ford did update the plug design, but they still break. I believe Autolites are one piece, if you dare to run them. These trucks are getting old enough now that it's almost rare to see one running around on the original plugs, not nearly as much of a problem as it used to be. This is the best video that I've seen on the process. [MEDIA=youtube]oGlccL25i9Y[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
