Well,,heres my 2 cents .As a shop owner i have seen alot of these come in for loose plugs,stripped threads etc . Seen it on fresh outa the dealer and do it yourselfer's and even some of my own techs. Those plugs need to be awful tight or they will get loose and spin out . Scary Tight ! Ford has come out with a differant plug , or coating due to this problem . Inserts? Sure if you can get access to a STRAIGHT shot at the plug hole . Not very likely on most of these . back cylinders are located well under the cowl . You have no idea whats involved if you 've never been under the hood of one of these . $750 is not out of line for the work required . Pulling the cab, yep ,,been done . Who did it ?? who knows ,,easy to blame the tech, but most techs are aware of the problems changing plugs on these . That is ,unless he is a newbie , or really green , or just doesn't see many Fords . Poor design from Ford ,,,you bet ! Pay the price to fix it, tackle it yourself save some $$ eithe rway it's gonna involve time and $$ to do it, and do it right .
