Well - I finally did it - 120,000 miles and I finally got up the nerve to attempt a plug change and coil pack change. I broke 6 - used the extractor and got them out no issues.... the 6 I broke were in bad shape - changed them and put on my new coil packs. Cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body while I was at it - man it feels like a new truck and I got it detailed so it even looks like a new truck!! Just wanted to share -

 

Looking good man and I think this spring I'm gonna do the engine maintenance as well

 

Thank you!! - good luck - it is a pain but definitely worth it!

 

nice, truck looks good. I like a little chrome, but still looks good.

 

Good job! Very nice truck.

 

Thank ya'll - I appreciate the compliments. It had been dirty for so long that I almost forgot it was black.

 

very nice truck looks great

 

Good work!

 

Love a clean black truck. Hey those wheels look nice.

 

Congrads!

 

Thanks guys! -

mblouir - i owe the wheels to you and your step by step process..... very informative - thanks for posting it!

 

Nice lookin for sure! I know how you feel. My truck just turn over 128K. I did the trucks first spark plug change about 3 weeks ago.

Man it runs sooo much better now.
Didn't really know how much power was lost over the years until now.

Lookin good. Black looks awesome when clean Rack this successful plug extraction story up with the others.

 

I just had a plug change as well, 70k on the ticker. They screamed like hell on the way out, but none broke. For a 100k plug, they looked like they were changed at the right time. Sorry, no pics.
