First and foremost, thanks to the guys who got back to me so quick today when I had questions. I appreciate it. Next, thanks to everyone on this board for posting their experience which made mine a little easier. Now, with my lightning speed it only took me 4hrs. with many smoke breaks, leg stretches, and internet post. All the plugs looked good, a little dark pink, except 2 which had some crud on them. I also had two that came out easier than the others. As long as I got them all back in correctly I should be fine. Thanks again to everybody on this site for their info.

 

woohoo, im about to change mine again and i'm not really looking forward to it......mainly just the time it takes.

 

SpankDog, how often do you change your plugs?

D-Day

 

eh....first change was at ~12k now im at 37k


so only once so far.

 

Does anybody know if the new plugs help throttle response or anything? Spankdog, hopefully next time I do it I will have forgotten what a pain it is.

 

Ive changed mine every oil change so far(every3000miles) Im about due for a oil/ plug change in the next week or so. last time i changed them was in march.

 

I change mine way to often.

4 times or so this season allready.

I can do it in about 45 minutes, if everything goes right. Once in a while I still have one coil pack screw that likes to resist my attemps. Then it might take a hour.

I found if I put a 1.5 inch extension on the spark plug socket, then a swivell, I then tape them together and then a long extension I can get to any plug real easy.

 

I do the same thing you do with the tape and the short extinsion then the swivel.

 

Dude, you fellas have a sickness Why would you guys want to put yourself through that process more than once a year? Do these trucks really need that if a good quality plug is used?

I put myself through that 3 hour torture a few months ago and don't plan on doing it again until next year.

 

Which plugs were they? I had some white crud on #3 and #7 when they were changed

 

Ive been through 10 sets of plugs in the last year...I like to experiment......I can change em all in 25 min and 10 sec....thats my record...
