Description of the problem	I have a 2006 f150 with the 5. 4 engine. I have never replaced the spark plugs and the truck has 144k miles. I am now stuck with ~$1800 to pull the cab to get to the heads to get the plugs out. 2 mechanics cannot get it out normally. I am told that a fix for stripping the heads is with a sleave that i cannot get out of cylinder #8. I was never informed to have the plugs changed at 80kto 100k miles. I would not have known anything about this. I think the fix is a poor design and i was designed to cover another plug issue. I am wondering why 2 wrongs do not make a right and i am wondering what recourse i have. I have purchased or traded 3 new trucks and currently drive a mustang, all purchased in the last 4 years. I am seriously wondering if i should ever buy another ford truck at this time. I have been more than loyal to ford products over the years.
