Nice job. I have the same exact truck with 188,000 miles. Just did spark plugs and coil packs this weekend. But I did not disassemble anything to do the plugs and coil packs Little bit tough working around the fuel rail on the driver side but went smooth either way.
Bout to do this on my son's truck. Any tips or suggestions before I get started?
Hey did you need swivel universal 3/8 adapter to help get plugs out?
Sunset was WELL worth it💪 thanks
Just did these they come right out WITHOUT
Touching the fuel rails 👍
Same here. Did it yesterday….. no fuel rail removal needed!!

I usually use 2 short extensions a 3” connected to the socket Just drop it in By itself
Then maybe another 3” exstension connected on the ratchet side connect it in place
How?!?! I am finding it near impossible to get #7 coil pack off because of the smog line too
@@ryangordy8345 the coil boots are flexible pull it out of there
like you stole it!!
Every 2000-2003 model of f150 leaks from
The back window they are famous for that
Thank you for the help brother I have one myself going strong everyday driver 252,000 miles so far had it since 60,000.
Stock gap is .54, you must have been really tired that weekend. Great overall project with the turbo and everything. I'm just reburbishing my 03' for towing my boat and daily driving. My joke with one of my mechanic coworkers is that I'm putting F-250 suspension parts in my F150, haha. The most "F250" I've done is put a set of Bilstein 4600 shocks, replaced my leaf springs and put in a set of heavy duty front end ball joints, tie rods, etc. Definitely smoothed out the ride.....definitely driving like a heavy duty F150 now.
I really enjoyed this video taught me a lot thank you so much
God I envy this thing, no rust or rot, mines got plenty haha!
nice body of water, bro. dig your rig, too.
cheers!
Thanks 7 and 8 cylinder is really hard. Now i know how to do it.
I'm digging the drone footage !!!
Great video man... I've been a carburetor guy most of my life but I'm moving up in the world to FI. like that you gave enough detail about the fuel rail and properly releasing the pressure along with a quick inspection and reminder of O-rings on your fuel injectors and such... I've had a few oh shit moments when I inspect the injector and it's missing the top over in that got stuck in the fuel rail good reminder so you don't end up needlessly replacing the injector and then trying to Ram what effectively is to o rings into the top of the fuel rail...
How about a video on a high amp aftermarket alternator for that truck and some more on the FI fuel-injected systems how they are laid out on this engine....
97 thru 03 5.4 has virtually no access to rear most injectors coil packs and plugs.The firewall makes it very difficult as they shoved this engine SO FAR back.04+ f150 has WAY MORE ROOM for these procedures(buddy of mine has an 08). Shame that FMC couldn't get it right the first time.... they've only been in business since the 1900s. Prolly on purpose to make you take it in for those repairs.
Thanks for that view freaking awesome
My truck leaks the same way I got a 2003 King ranch with the leather seats everytime it rains I get mildew on the seats
Good thing it's a 2003 and wasn't produced in 2000 like the lightning I had. That year the trucks had a problem with the plugs blowing in or getting sucked into the block. It happened to four of my plugs. At $400.00 each to get them rethreaded and replaced, that sucked. Luckily they all blew out and not in. If any got sucked in, the engine would have needed to be replaced.
Nice video, Seems like you really know whats going on🤓😂 Keep going
Lindsey Sue I’m not sure if your truck clock stays on after you turn off the truck and close all doors but do you know why my clock stays on ? It won’t turn off at all it’s a 97’ ford 4.6 triton
Great video Ryan!
I used to have a 2000 F150 Lightning. The same thing happened to my rear window.
L Boogs NY/WA I think my rear window still leaks even after it’s been replaced, my front one also leaks.....bad
@@SkeletonManlover125 I had my rear window leak fixed last spring for $125. Was in a hurry to go out of town or I would have done it.
did the plugs thread all the way down using all the thread turns or will it bottom out on the head prior to using all the thread turns. when I replaced two of my plugs after taking them out I counted the thread turns on the plug itself and then put them in only turning a third of the thread turns. Is this correct. Like I dont know if I have them in correctly. touque wrench to 30 ft lbs.
Great video sir! What coils do you recommend? OEM or a specific aftermarket?
MSD blaster coils 82428 for the triton 2 valve engines. Trusted ignition manufacturer and cheaper than 8 motorcraft coils!
@@darrenairey5938 i bought the cheap ones from ebay and worked great 100,000 plus miles be sure to take a bottle of vasoline when you go to ford dealer for parts
A friend and myself both had same issue and it was light gasket
You don’t have to disassemble anything I just replaced mine without removing anything and it took me about 40 minutes all I needed was a 7mm wrench
.054 - .056 is what they set on a 03 5.4
Awesome. When are you going to do a saloming video? Also what lake is that?
Dont know if help but your leak is probably rear bed light
Pennywise & Pound Foolish... You need to replace all 8 coil packs while you have them out to put the plugs in...!
Nice video 👍
It's not that deal you pointed out it's the seal on the inside of the glass. Had to do mine.
Yeah. I still need to get that done. I need to replace the plastic molding around the window too. Mine is cracked right by the 3rd brake light.
You need some electric tools, them hand tools make life hard my guy
I didn’t cast about the boat or the drone
I also have a misfire now x.x it’s the second cylinder for me
Well, at least that one is easy to get to. 8... Not so much
@@AutoDetour great video, i just learned how to change number 4 and 8 coil.
Fred Bennett how
Hi Ryan! I plan on doing my spark plugs and new msd blaster coils today and am worried about breaking a spark plug in the head due to carbon/rust build up. I will soak in penetrating oil first but did you back them a touch for oil to get down in the treads or did you just soak em untouched? Also did you have any resistance removing the plugs? I heard its good to torque them to 20ish ft lbs so the dont blow out. Any other tips would be appreciated!!! Thx again!
Does not show how to disconnect the wire connector as far as I could see. Bad choice for spark plugs. Use factory original Motorcraft.
Mine does that to
Didn't look like you unhook to battery
Clear silicone bud
To much other stuff, just get to the job at hand.
Just like me... Gets distracted by everything else other than the original thing you were planning to get done but unlike this guy I only waste my time not millions of people time 🤦
It’s better to remove it while the sparks plugs are hot
you get paid by the hour because I didn't have to take off the fuel rail. and it doesn't take 8 hours to change coils and plugs.
How I long for the days when I had my 69 F100.... could do any engine maintenance in under 20 minutes start to finish and not have to remove anything.... auto designers are fucked.
Those older cars and trucks were definitely easier to work on for sure! My first car was an 84 K5 blazer and I could basically sit in the engine compartment to work on the engine there was so much extra room!
Auto Detour yeah man😭 I hate this bullshit. If I had an extra cubic foot of space I’d be happy. I drive (for all intents and purposes) the same truck as in the picture, and there is NO empty space. Working on it is the biggest pain in the ass ever. Seriously never worked on a car that was more difficult to work on.
Auto Detour honestly I think auto designers do this shit on purpose to force you to take it into the dealership to get it fixed because they know for most people it isn’t worth their time
Ok, you have a nice house, a nice lake, a nice boat.....you ramble for over 5:00 min before actually starting what your video was originally intended. Then you say “let’s get started”.......then you kick up the music, speed up the video and don’t tell us how or what you’re removing to get to the intended coil packs and plugs.
Can’t give you a thumbs up.....sorry. To much unnecessary chatter.
4 minutes in a lot of unnecessary Chit Chat really
FYI bla bla bla we didn't need to hear any of the prestuff and you talk alot
It’s the hairstyle......bro is pushing 40 but still sports that high school ‘doo to stay fresh & hip!
Your light suck , can't see a thing!
