and still do "sware bye motorcraft" for most parts. if you can find a single company w/ no bad eggs in the bunch, go invest money in that company.

See above. Also, maybe Motorcraft has a "customer satisfaction or your money back" promise. I wouldn't worry about it. Millions of those spark plugs are produced annually, and you get one "bad" one. Heck, I have the OEM plugs still in my 08' Ranger, and I'm right around 69,000 miles.

x3 did you ever think that maybe there is other factors that could make the plugs look bad??? like an engine running rich, or lean...etc etc

I need to pull my plugs and check them. Might be time to replace them along with my fuel filter
