    Are there any Issues with Replacing the Spark Plugs in my 2003 with the 5.4 Engine??

    Hey all, I have a 2003 Eddie Bauer 4wd Expedition. It's got 112K on it. Up until a few weeks ago it has stayed in alignment pretty much. That changed when I was leaving the local convenience store in the snow. I didn't know the lot very well and everything was covered with snow and I ended...
