All I was asking is how many of these trucks have you done?
Of course I could be lying about my experience too, but I'm not.

Change plugs almost done!
Hi Folks! I already remobe 5 of 8 plugs. The ones not removed yet are the most near the cab. Drivers side is something dificult to use my tools. passenger side I don't touch yet, i see this particular one very complicated.
Can any body tell me what tools I need to access these 2 plugs?
Also another one is to thight. I'll let with PB Blaster and Kroil overnight. Tomorrow morning I'll try again.
Thqanks for your help.!

I'm using a torque wrench and 5 of 8 plugs can be removed using 35 ft lbs. 1 of the plugs don't unseat with 35. I'm leting with PB Blaster overnight. the 2 other ones need another tools in order to check how much torque needs to loose.
