I've owned the truck since ~96k & have done the usual oil/filter, transmission drain/fill, rear differential drain/fill.. I had been hesitant on doing the spark plugs bc of all of the **** stories on breaking them (even tho I believe mine had the news style)
Anyway, ordered new plugs & coil packs & installed them yesterday. Used the air compressor to clean out before each removal. Sprayed plenty of PB Blaster & let soak for 5min. They were tight but I worked slow & all came out great. Took me ~2hr 15min. Not hard just time consuming. About to tackle all 4 Corners with new struts & coil springs.
Trying to upload pics but keeps saying too large..

Your 2011 has the new style, no issue plugs.

Glad to hear it went well.

What brand plugs and coils?

I've got a 2007 expedition eddie bauer 190 k and it has a miss cylinder 1 and will sputter and jerk while accelerating so I'm wanting to change all the plugs, coil packs, I could use any advice as to type plugs and coil packs and anything else that needs to be replaced at the same time and on how I should go about this challenge ?

Motorcraft plugs. Only change a coil that has failed, and use a Motorcraft. No need to change good coils. They aren't a service item. They either work or they don't.

Ditto Trainmaster's comment. I would, however, buy two coils and keep the extra in the truck somewhere just in case.
