Had to sample the sausage ***** and the cheese dip. May have ruined my lunch. There is a chocolate cake covered with cherries. There is a ton of food. A peanut butter chocolate pie.

He eats and sleeps all day



Hey guys, I have all my original cops minus one (replaced due to misfire). I was looking on rockauto, they are 41 a piece new. I have 72k on the truck now. This summer I'd like to replace them all just to be safe. Is it easy to do? It looks like one bolt and disconnecting the harness. Is that all you do?

Dielectric application:

1. Grease the plugs ceramic before install. This assures proper seat. Without it, the COP boot may buckle.

2. Pull the boot, then give the spring a couple tugs to make sure the spring to coil blade connection is secure.

3. Grease the entire inside of boot to protect against moisture and to focus coil pulse to the spark plug. Without it, pulse jumps, etches and leaves carbon trails inside of boots. Boots become weak and can deform.

4. Install the boot over the spring and onto the coil. With a small screw driver or curved pic, pull the spring from the end of the boot approximately onehalfinch. Slide the screw driver across the spring, keeping it from recoiling back into the boot.

5. Clean grease from spring end with a grease cutting agent. Lacquer thinner or brake cleaner works best.

6. Release spring so that it recoils back into the spark plug boot.

7. With a small brush or finger, grease the top seam of the boot.

8. Install coil.
