I think it was the 5.4 that had the two piece spark plug problems. My 5.0 is one piece plugs and I changed them every 100k.
I did have a 2001 F150 with the two piece, spark plugs, but I never had a problem. I traded that one in at 225K for the 2014.
The only real problem I’ve had is last summer, the oil pressure got low at idle, and it shuts off the engine. I’ve bumped up the idle a couple hundred RPMs, and it’s been good so far.
I have a new Ford engine in the garage and I’m debating to preemptively replace the engine, or wait until the engine blows up.
