Warranty

If you're real smart, and I'm betting you are, I would look into a spark plug change and make sure they use nickel anti-seize on the new ones. If you aren't up on this problem, the 4.6 & 5.4 3V engines have a serious design flaw that causes some of the plugs to break off in the head upon removal. Trust me on this one, my '06 GT is in the dealer right now getting one (hopefully only one) broken plug removed. I'm likely to end up with a huge repair bill. My car has 38K miles on the clock so I'm screwed. Look for a class action law suit on this one in the not so distant future. A word to the wise is sufficient.

My warranty is up in July also but I only have $8K miles on the car. I have the extended service plan so all service is covered but I don't think the plugs are due for changing so soon. Is there a TSB or something I can use to force them to change the plugs?
