How similar to this (nice) write-up is the 2011 4.7? Pretty much the same procedure?

Not really sure to be honest. I know the 4.7s have 2 banks of plugs that need to be changed at different intervals. The steps I outlined regarding the removal and reinstallation of the plugs with antiseize and dielectric on the boots should apply to a 4.7...How similar to this (nice) write-up is the 2011 4.7?

Tell me about it! I was expecting the driver's side to be the worst because of the brake booster but it wasn't nearly as bad as the passengers side wasDamn! The rearmost coil on the pass side is a ***** to get to! Otherwise, the change just went relatively smoothly. Completed in an hour and a half.

Oh man those Ford 5.4 spark plugs. Who would've thought it was possible to mess up something as simple as a spark plug?I don't know this for a fact, just heard it from someone else that got it from a sea foam rep. Run seafoam thru vacuum like a normal cleaning and let soak overnight, with engine cold spray a little deep creap around the plugs before extraction, no carbon issues tearing up threads. The specific vehicle they were talking about was a Ferd 5.4 with those crazy assed plugs, but wouldn't hurt the hemi either.

Is the original plug link still good? they are listed as nickel and not copper
The 2013 and older trucks are very sensitive to what plugs are installed. I've had great luck with Bosch products as well but I've just seen to many posts on here and other forums about misfire codes being set from putting in plugs other than the Mopar ones. The 2013.5+ trucks are much more forgiving with plugs.
No problem good luck!Great thank you.

I'm assuming you mean on the plug? If so yes, that's part of the seal of the plug. When it bottoms out you can feel the resistance increasing as it compresses it and finally bottoms out.Dumb question, did you leave the compression washer on?
