Thanks to Chuck and others for spark plug changing tips
I appreciate the help I got from searching on changing the plugs on these trucks. I actually printed out the instructions from Chuck's Lightning page here:

One thing I would add that helped me was taping the extension and swivel pieces together with duct tape. I had a couple of them (#4 of course!) that were at weird angles and after tightening the plug the combo of extensions and swivels kept pulling apart with the socket sticking to the plug when I tried to remove everything. The tape cured that and made the rest of it go much easier.
First time ever took me 1 1/2 hours to complete. I was glad when it was over!

camcojb you are a better man than me. It took me about 3 1/2 hours to do mine. Of course a lot of that time was spent cussing,throwing tools, kicking chit,and trying to find dropped coil pack bolts.
