[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4089886, member: 26737"] I helped my brother do the timing set on his 5.4L F-150 (I can't recall if it was an '05 or '08, but it had the two-piece plugs). He got it dirt cheap because it needed the timing set done, so even with buying all the parts and tools, he still had like a grand less in it than it was worth. It's not as easy as changing the plugs and coils on my Coyote, but it was far from the most difficult car repair I've ever done. Watch the FordTechMakuloco YouTube channel's videos on the job; they're pretty much spot-on, and the video description includes the parts and tools list. Do yourself a favor and get the plug extraction tool if you have the two-piece plugs, and replace the oil pump while you're in there (my brother used a high-flow Melling pump that came highly recommended). Here's the first video in FordTechMakuloco's series on doing the Triton timing set: [MEDIA=youtube]nQVKnd2r-ww[/MEDIA] Like I said, make sure you go to the YouTube page so you can see the parts/tools list. I think he might even have torque specs listed on some of the videos. [/QUOTE]
