I charge $550 at my shop but that's because I know a few tricks for them and have yet to break one. Just takes lots of patience, lots of Seafoam and lots of my special orange can nut blaster. Plus a tool that really should never be used.
The 5.4 is a great engine otherwise. Strong, good parts and with maintenance they will go a long time. One bad thing though is the plenum gasket for the thermostat on bottom is prone to failure and is not available by itself and only comes with the $400 plenum.
I hate that Ford does that crap.
"Hey, I need the hard brake line for the driver rear on a 2001 F350."
"Okay, it includes the fuel lines and passenger line and is $900."
$6 and 40 minutes latter I made my own.Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

You're crazy, I paid 5 star less than 100 to change them all, and that included extracting one i broke . Once you change them to new design plugs its not a problem anymore. The phasers failing is much more costly, and almost guaranteed to happen. The timing chains and tensioner also kinda suck
