From what I've read, the Time-Sert is your best "over the fender" option.

I think it's a little pricey and overated.

That that blew you off over the CAI doesn't surprise me, Ford as a whole seems to really be neglecting it's customers more and more.

FTE on the plugs themselves. LINK

My dad has a '99 Super Duty with the V10, 50,000 miles, no plug problems yet.....yet.

Good luck man...
