      Noah: Hey, guys. It's Noah from AmericanTrucks. And you're looking at a set of Ford Performance cold spark plugs fitting the 2011 and newer 3.5-liter EcoBoost F-150. Now, these spark plugs are going to be a great upgrade for the EcoBoost owner who's wanting to push some more boost than the factory amount and trying to prevent or remedy any break-up issues under hard acceleration. Now, if you have your F-150 turned up, then you should seriously consider going with a colder spark plug like these.Spark plugs can be confusing and sometimes super temperamental in high-boost situations. Now, a colder plug is going to perform better than the stock plug under high boost, and these plugs are actually one heat range colder than the stock plugs, and they come pre-gapped right out of the box so you can just throw them right in. Probably the biggest difference that sets them apart from the stock plug is that they actually have a copper tip. Copper has a higher conductivity than something like iridium would, and the spark is going to be able to survive under high-boost pressure, and it's going to be stronger. And then, finally, these are sold as a set of six, like you see here, so you only need to buy this once at a set price.As far as construction goes, like I said, these are copper tipped, so, of course, they're going to perform better under high-boost pressure. The rest of the spark plug is made from platinum, which is really strong, and it's going to stay free of any corrosion. Because of the characteristics of copper, yes, it will perform better under boost, but it won't last quite as long as an iridium plug. With copper plugs, they're designed to be replaced every 20,000 miles or so to keep everything performing well.Coming in around $80 for the full set of 6, you get to enjoy one of the benefits of a copper plug. Copper plugs are typically much cheaper than other kinds and you can get some better performance out of your boosted vehicle for a lot less. So even though you're technically supposed to change them more frequently, you're ultimately spending less for a cold plug, which softens the blow in terms of pricing with every change.We're looking at an install difficulty of two out of three wrenches and an hour for the time it should take you to get the old ones out and these guys put in. A little bit of mechanical skill is required for the install, and it is super important to make sure you're using a special spark plug socket. Here's an AT customer who's going to walk you through the install process on their own vehicle so that you can be confident in doing it yourself at home.Justin: So these are the tools I used. Flathead screwdriver, little extender thingy, small ratchet, big ratchet, another extender, U-joint. This is optional, like I said earlier, but it made my life easier. Extender for the small ratchet, spark plug socket, and 8-millimeter socket.I'm Justin. This is how you change the spark plugs in a 2014 Ford F-150 twin turbo V6 8.5-liter EcoBoost. The first thing I'm gonna do is take the oil cap off and then take off the engine cover.So next thing you're gonna do is take your 8-millimeter socket and take out these 3 screws right here. So this one, this one, and this guy that hold the coils in. If you had a power ratchet, this would be easier. But I don't have that, so this is what we're doing today. Number two. It should be out, right? You can just get it out by hand once you get a good start on it. All-righty.So next step is you're gonna push this red part back like that, right? So you push...it's like a little safety pin here that holds the coil in, and you push this down and pull this off. Voila. This is the first coil. And then you pop this bad boy out. She should pop right out. Use the same thing for all six of them. So, see, right, this red thing, pop it back like that, and then press this down, and it slides right off. Same thing back here. So you see this red thing, slide it down, press this in, slide this off. And, boom, passenger side coils are out. Wait. There we go.All right. So next, take your ratchet and your spark plug socket, and you get down in here. You can see the coils are already off. So we get down in here, get all the way in there. All right. Get it out. That. There she is. All right. It should get there. There we go. You can also see I disconnected...as I have an aftermarket catch can, you'll have something similar like this, but I disconnected that just to be able to get the plugs a little easier.The reason I'm changing this is I've been having a misfire lately, and I suspect it's due to one of these old plugs. I also strongly recommend that you do not use power tools when it comes to spark plugs, because it can really be super, super easy to strip out your plug and then you're in real trouble. Take it out like that. All right. So this next one, I recommend kind of attacking it from the front because that one's kind of hard to get to. But same thing.All right. So I'm gonna start with the toughest one now. I'm gonna get this brand new one in the back here, kind of sneak it in there. Carefully, of course. Be very careful. What you don't wanna do is bang the spark plug against the wall, mess up the gap. There's a certain specification that you torque these at, but I don't have, like, one of those measures, so whatever. Yeah, you start with the back one. I'm starting with the back one, just get it out of the way. But what you don't want to do is bang the spark, you know, getting there all aggressive, bang the spark plug up against the walls and stuff because you mess up the gap, and then it's just a whole another issue. So just be very, very careful when you're putting this in. Once you feel set, just keep going. All right. So that's about it. Give her that and then slowly pop out of there.So now I'm going to go to the middle cylinder. I'm not sure which numbers they are, but... Do they say it on there? No. But you see, I'm gonna go to the middle guy right here, and I want to reiterate, be very careful when you put this bad boy in. You don't want it banging against the cylinder wall and mess up your gap. You get in there. There we go. Yep. Yes, sir. There we go. She's good.So now I'm gonna go and put the coil back on. I bought...as you see, these look different than the one I took off. I bought aftermarket coils, because I'm the type of guy that likes to do things once. You know, typically, when I go in there and tear stuff out, I replace everything on the way in and on the way out. So, you go and start with the back one. We'll get up in there, and you'll feel it pop, just like that. Make sure it is snug. Yep, she's snug. And then what you'll do is take this guy, remember, plug it back in, and so you hear the click. Once you hear the click, push the red tab up. Boom. And then that 8-millimeter screw, get that back. Are you ready? And you put that in. And that's it. I think it's quite good. And, boom, there you go.Hardest one down.And then, we're in the middle one. Same thing. Same thing really all of them. You'll feel when she's snug. She is not moving. Cool. First off, before that, put the plug in, you'll hear it click, just like that, and put the red safety tab in. She ain't going nowhere. Then put the screw back in. And here we go. See if it's tight, give her one good turn, one good half turn. That looks good, good enough for me.All-righty. And same thing here. I'll move that guy out of the way. Thank you there, camerawoman. Go ahead. You feel her get snug. Nice. Same thing. And then I'm gonna do, wait, hear it click. Click. Safety tab back in. Here we go. And you guessed it. Turn. Wham bam. There we go. Looks good to me.All-righty. All right. So now we're gonna do the driver's side. You can see right here, this cover, it's not exactly what it's called, but it just pops off. It's no big deal. Go ahead and remove that. Set her over here. First thing, get the little short guy and get her going. Yeah. Okay. And then this red safety tab, same thing, put her down. It should pop right off where it should. And she should pop right off. All-righty. The same thing for the next.To make your life a little easier, we're gonna take this off the high-pressure pump switch or something like that. But the switch, the tabs here on the bottom, same thing, boom, pop right off. So same thing with these guys. Red tab down. Red tab down. Also, make your life a little easier, make your life a little easier, see this silver tab right here, pull that all the way back, pop it off, boom, get it out of the way.Woman: Just pull those out of the way.Man: I'm just gonna do that. Yup, just like that. Okay. Now, we got all that, except for this. Take it off. Oh, boy. No, no. Never be easy. There we go. And pop that right. There we go. Now we're going to do this, same as everything else. You guessed it. Because I'm lazy, start with this. Okay. And now we're just gonna pop the coils off, like so. It's been on here for a while, so it's gonna be a minute. All right. This guy should pop off. So they might need a little help. You can just pry them out with a screwdriver, but it should come off just like that. Same with this one. They better not fail in there.All right. We're gonna get back in here, take the spark plug out. These ones are kind of tough, but you know, a little bit of finagling and you can get into it. There we go. There we go. All right.All right. Next, we're taking out this metal spark plug. I should know which cylinder numbers these are, but I don't. And there we go. Oh, yeah. And now the front guy. And there we go.All right, not so bad. You have a nice spark plug socket. What I do is put the back end of the spark plug, shove it in there. That way, they don't fall out. And again, oh, man, this one's going to be pain. All right. Again, like I said, be very careful when you put the spark plugs in. You don't want it banging against the cylinder wall or anything like that, because it'll mess up your gap. There we go. All right. Now, the middle spark plug, very carefully put in there, just like the back one. They get easier. I like to do the hard ones first. Just like that. There we go. Get seated. Last but not least, front driver's side spark plug. Get her in there. You know what, I'm gonna do it this way, it's a little easier. There we go.This side, just need to snap this back on. You hear a little click, she's good. Snug, she ain't going nowhere. All right, now that I got all the spark plugs put on this side, it's time to put the coils in. Coils. And what I'm gonna do, same thing as last side, you just go in, hear a little click. You won't hear it, but you'll know it. And we'll see that ain't going anywhere. Boom. Perfect. Okay. And then, next, remember this guy. This guy. Remember this clip? You just put it right back on like that. And she goes on, you hear a click, aha, hear that click, and you take this red one, this red piece right here, push it up. Then, see this screw? I like to hand tighten it until I can't no more. Put her on down and tighten it down. No specific torque for this, just whatever you're comfortable with. I'm pretty comfortable there. And then, I'm going to slide at least high press... It's something to do with a pressure pump or some sort of pump. I should know this, but slide it back on there to hear a click. She's good.And now for the middle coil, same thing. Slide her on in. Same thing with this clip to hear...just like that. And then this red piece, slide it up. Repeat as necessary. Wash, rinse, repeat, you know?All right. And now I'm putting in the front coil on the driver's side. Yep, just like that. I'm gonna plug it. Same here. See this? It's easy to slide right on, until you hear that clicking sound. All right. And definitely don't forget to plug everything back in. You know, caught a little too early this time. Click. Clicks are nice. Clicks make it easy for big dummies like me. It just slides. It pops on oddly enough, I guess.All-righty. And then this oil cap back off. I put it back on because I don't want anything getting in there, obviously. All right. As you can see, everything's plugged back in, and all the red tabs are pushed back up, very important. So this is back on, this is back on, and you can see, back here, all the red tabs are plugged back up.Now, slide this back on. I'm sure there's a purpose to this. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't know, it's a Ford to tell you. There we go. And then put the oil cover back on. Ready for that start, first start.Jake: Those were the Ford Performance cold spark plugs for the 2011 and newer 3.5-liter EcoBoost F-150.
