I think if you pour the Motorcraft equivalent of Seafoam into the sparkplug tube and let it sit for a while it will help break them loose. Its called pm3.
Pm toreador4x4 since he works at a dealer.

2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty, Woodbridge, NJ, Pickup, Loman Ford-Kia Stock: 5EB41766
The 250 we saw on Wednesday was really nice, but we couldn't talk them down past $23,400 so we left. I am going to see this one today after work and take it for a test drive. It's got nearly twice the mileage, but the starting price being over $4,000 below is enough for me to overlook that.

Alright... they wouldn't come down to the price I wanted for that truck, which was 17,500. The truck had some body damage done to the rear that I wasn't too happy with.
So here I am now, looking at a 2004 F250 with 39,000 miles, priced at $20k, and a 2005 F250 with 55,000 miles priced at $18.5k.
Before somebody mentioned that the 2005 was a 300hp motor, is the 2004 5.4l motor good or bad compared to that?

It gets my heart beatings fast too.
I think you'll like that truck if the deal works out. The 3 valve motor makes somewhere around 40 more hp than the older 2 valve motor. In my 2009 the engine pulls really hard once it gets to about 3000rpm. The 4L OHV in my 99 Ranger started to run out of breath fast in the upper RPM range. The 5.4L likes to rev.
Keep us posted how the dealin works out.

I'll buy you one if you pay me $1,456,013.89 first, deal?
We ended up getting the truck for $400 more than we offered, 600 less that the dealership offered. They ended up taking a loss on the truck -not my fault as I stated to them. Luckily the person we were dealing with was cool, she got us as close to our price as she could. We pick the truck up tonight, it's just got to get detailed on the outside. I'll probably have pics of it up tomorrow.
