if available you might want to blow out the plug home after the coil is out but before the plug comes out. If there is sand or other stuff in the hole and you take the plug out, now it goes down into cylinder
Turns out had alot of problems using thoes coils best I could figure is they are hot spark coils and the voltage from the factory wiring and computer will not fire them correctly bought some super cheep coils from Amazon works just fine
I have a question. But first, thank you for this video. I have a 2000 Excursion throwing an occasionally that shows 4 and 7 cylinder. My question is if you have any tips reaching the coils back under the overhang of the windshield?
Got her figured out. Ignition coil B, is cylinder 2. I was able to print out the schematic that shows cylinder assignments. 1-5 passenger, 6-10 driver side, starting from the front. Thanks for this vid. Helped a ton.
The plug gap is NOT supposed to be .54..... i have a 02 6.8 v10, the owners manual states between .4 and .5.. always gap mine to .45 NOT .54.. currently sitting at 207k miles and due for coils/plugs
Sooo. The ford engineers in their infinite wisdom, decided to cut the threads in the head with an imperceptibly slight taper. I had auto light plugs in mine and one shot out because of microns less engagement on the outer threads. Fomoco plugs only in these engines or you will be installing an insert like me.
heat eventually damages rubber boots. Cracked boots can ground to head through crack and give you misfires. Coils also can be worn out by heat and vibration and firing a few billion times over 50,000 miles

No the spark plugs in the triton motor v8 or v 10 have problems blowing out of the heads I do not suggest using antisize if they back out any could potentially further the problems they have I have had 3 now that have had to be refitted with threads
No do not use antisize the triton motors v8 and v10 has problems with blowing out the spark plugs. using antisize my potentially further this problem. I have had 3 give up on my motor and have had to refitte with heli coils
@@puddmaster16danielsullivan94 lmfao they don’t blow out because of anti seize. They blow out because of a poor head design. Do you ubderstand what anti seize is ? It doesn’t allow this to get loose, it keeps things from corroding and seizing up. If torqued properly the anti seize won’t hurt anything lmao.
@@puddmaster16danielsullivan94 I used anti seize on every plug I’ve ever put in, including my v10. That was 4 years ago with heavy towing use only and never had one back out. You torque them properly and it’s the proper way to do it.

Thanks for doing this on film. I appreciate it.
This was very well made, thanks!

Thx for the info. 👌🏾
How are they holding up? I just blew an autolite spark plug. Replaced all coils and spark plugs with motorcraft.
Turns out had alot of problems using thoes coils best I could figure is they are hot spark coils and the voltage from the factory wiring and computer will not fire them correctly bought some super cheep coils from Amazon works just fine
So the Edebrock coils weren't good., what model coil did you use from Amazon? We're they much cheaper than Motocraft ?
I have a question. But first, thank you for this video. I have a 2000 Excursion throwing an occasionally that shows 4 and 7 cylinder.
My question is if you have any tips reaching the coils back under the overhang of the windshield?
I got to mine with a lot of patience and extensions with swivel sockets.
Yes you'll have to find a combination of sockets swivels and extensions to meet the requirements you need to get there to do the work
@@puddmaster16danielsullivan94 Thank you! I also had a few magic words for the designer that thought that overhang above the engine was nice.😄
If its only occassionaly throwing a spark code its more then likely carbon arking off the coils not the spark plug itself
Thankyou
Hey brother, when you purchase the coil, is it #1, #2 #3 specific, or does the same coil work on every plug?
Same coil works on every plug.
@@aaronermis4082 lying bastards,ty Sir.
Question for you…got a check engine code for ‘ignition coil B’ bad….which coil would that be on the motor??
What is the code number exactly
Should say misfire and a cylender number
Got her figured out. Ignition coil B, is cylinder 2. I was able to print out the schematic that shows cylinder assignments. 1-5 passenger, 6-10 driver side, starting from the front. Thanks for this vid. Helped a ton.
@@irateinc I got the same code so just changed the one you did or should I just change them all????
@@fernandobrown7386 depends on time and budget. I would start with the same one I did, and then work your way down the line.
DIE ELECTRIC GREASE IS THE PROPER STUFF TO USE ON THE COIL BOOT'S IT'S CLEAR AND ODER LESS
☝️ NEVER GUM'S UP
I am about to change mine… how tight you put those plugs ?
suppose to be 12 or 15 lbs torque at max
The plug gap is NOT supposed to be .54..... i have a 02 6.8 v10, the owners manual states between .4 and .5.. always gap mine to .45 NOT .54.. currently sitting at 207k miles and due for coils/plugs
Did these coils work out for you?
No use oem coils only

Why new coils?

Tell us you've never worked on a Triton engine, without telling us. 😆
Changing the sparkplug on my ford 9th cylinder 1 more to go

Would you take the chance of one of the spark plugs backing out knowing it has problems with the threads

You don’t gap Iridium Plugs, Ever!
How long did those trash parts last? 3 months? You HAVE to use Motorcraft coils and plugs in these things. Awful video. Thumbs down.
#5 sucks on my truck.the rest my daughter can handle. Not sure why I have to rip crap off 4 my rig
I've never heard of a coil gap.
I haven't eather need to check spark plug gaping
My God!
This vertical filming crap!
