Ford Excursion In terms of size, the Ford Excursion is the king of big sport-utilities. Supremely stable at speed, it feels safe and secure on the open highway. Whether you have a lot of cargo to carry, a bunch of people to transport, a big trailer to pull, or all of the above, the Excursion is ready for whatever you throw its way. It can tow up to 11,000 pounds and seat 8-9.

LOL!
Yeah, it's that simple.

Pull off the COP and remove the plug.
Apply anti-sieze to new plug threads.
Install new plug and torque to specs. (probably 11 ft pounds, but don't quote me on that)
Replace COPs.

Done.

Be very careful not to cross thread the plugs. Take note of the number of turns it requires to seat them. If you do cross thread the plugs, it could eventually come loose and it will quickly fail. The repair could conceivably exceed the value of the truck at that point.
