Jason, I am getting ready to do this swap and was curious to know about the
check engine lights.What were they a result of and did you have to get the
dealer to reset it? or did you you just drain the comp. power? As for the
plug colors identification-check the back of a haynes manual they have big
charts on what they mean and have a picture of each condition.TTYL,

Subject: DML: Changed plugs on my 4.7

Hey guys,
Changed the stock plugs on my 4.7L to Bosch +4 platinums. Damn those things
are expensive. After shewing away a few check engine lights the truck runs
a little smoother. I can feel a definite smoothness in acceleration.
Here's a question. On two of the bolts that hold down the coil unit thing
is a bracket with some sort of sensor connection on it that is not connected
to anything. Any one know what these are for?
Another question, I remember plug colors meant stuff, but I can't remember
what. The Champion plugs were all white with a black dusting over about 1/2
the electrode area. Does that mean anything good or bad?
And by the way, it must have been the gorilla's day off. The original plugs
were barely hand tight.
