Ford trucks have been some of the most terrible things to work on since the mid-90s. If I recall right on my friend's 5.4, the spark plugs are under the fuel rail. As well as a bunch of other hassles for maintenance work. And off goes the cab for any big work. You'd think they'd just make their 3/4 or 1-tons as COE, and just tilt it up for work.

Say what you will about GM trucks, at least they're still fairly easy to work on, in comparison.
