Shawn, Plugs in the 4.7L are very easy, First remove the air hat (two
screws, and one hose clamp on the TB.) Next take a reg. screwdriver and pop
open the clips on the heater hose pipes. This will allow you to move these
out of the way. Next, remove all of the wire connectors from your coil
packs. You don't even need a tool for this part, just depress the connector
and slide each one off. Next, remove the nut holding each tube down,(one on
each tube, 10mm) and take them off one at a time. You'll need a 5/8 spark
plug socket and a long extension on your ratchet.
Thats it, alot easier than you think!
I'm not sure about the T-stat?, I got 180 t-stat a few weeks back but
haven't put it in yet, to be honest, I haven't looked to see where the
t-stat housing is??

Subject: DML: 4.7l Questions
I am thinking about replacing the spark plugs and T-Sat on my 00 4.7l Dak.
When I looked under the hood it looked like doing these things might be a
pain in the ass. Anybody have a easy method to replace these items on a
2000 with the 4.7? Both of these mods on a 318 or 360 were very easy to
complete. Also what gap should I use if I run Autolite 3923s with a stock
ignition?
Thanks,
Shawn
