DON'T buy any 99 through 2010 5.4 liter Ford. Unless you are aware of and can deal with a couple of expensive issues. 1) Sparkplugs... 2) Leaks from the cylinder head...

You can google "Triton sparkplugs". They begin to fail just around 100 - 150k.

Good luck!
Sorry, don't mean to hijack, but am facing a similar problem with a 2005 5.4. Have done the reading regarding changing plugs; has anyone here done it themselves? Is it really that bad?

Thanks.

Did mine a couple months ago... 5k miles ago.
There WAS LOTS of carbon on the plugs. I'm sure I would have mangled the threads, had I not known.

BUT

You have an 05 and the plug issues are different from my 00.

I would but they are a Chrysler Jeep shop, don't think they even work on Fords and this issue is specific to the 5.4 Ford motor. Thanks though!
