Changed Plugs....FML
So Ive been putting it off for a year now due to all the storys I read and the lack of having the lisle tool. Well I finally went and picked up the tool and decided to get er done. BTW, the one closest to the firewall on the passenger side.....WTF Who the hell decided to put a plug there!! Any how, Ive had the truck a little over a year and have ran a bottle of techron every other tank since i got it. Warmed it up, gave it the sea foam treatment trough the brake booster hose, let it sit 20 min, then did a few WOT pulls to blow out the rest of the crap. I took out all the plugs with my 3/8 impact except the one. That would be no 3 if counting the passenger front as one and going down that side. Had to get the 1/2 impact out for that one. All came out without a problem. Was defiantly time for a change. Replace with 515s. No4 however, ( the last one by passenger firewall ) threaded in by hand, we tightened to 25lbft and then i hear the loud snap of what sounded like porcelin breaking. F Me!!! I was tired and it was 33deg so I was cold and now the engine was cold. Figured I would button it up, drive around for a bit to warm it up. I had the tuner scanning for misfires and I have none. WHEW Since it wont misfire, I wont take it apart again. My MPG went fron 10.8-11 avg hwy @65 to 13.9 hwy @65. Not too shabby I suppose. Now the true test will be the Texas run I am making at the end of this month. 1200 miles each way. Here are the old plugs
