Thanks everyone for your input, public and via DM. Picked up 2008 F250 5.4L gas owned by elderly couple who recently passed away and their son sold it to me. I hope it was a good purchase. Clean in and out for its year. 123k miles for 10k. Well maintenanced as well. d9466d172835aedd18f0a7d9b4ea239a.jpg09b25d3ec151955d9e265fb6c1c72e4b.jpg563e6dc17c3b249d756020b4277affeb.jpg

At least I believe they fixed the sparkplug issues by that year. Should be a good runner.

I checked and seems that sparkplug issue is still there, but Does issued a bulletin on how to mitigate potential sparkplug damage once removing.

We have the 2008 Explorer with a 4.6L. I believe it's the same base engine. It's been pretty good. Synthetic oil is more important on these because of the cam phasers.

My mechanic told me the exact opposite. I had a 4.0 V6 explorer and he thats the one you want. Which made no sense to me because I had a crown vic with the 4.6.... But he did have a sport track with the v8 that needed a new motor in his lot so I guess there's that.
