Question how much for plug install

How much have you guys paid to have new plugs put in your truck. I already have the NGK tr6s. I just want to know about what you guys have paid so i know if i am getting a good deal or not.

60 bucks !!!!
Thats cheap. I think most people do their own plugs for peace of mind. You know the old saying..... if you want something done right.... do it yourself.
However Mrgadget is a lightning owner and probably has done it before.,,,
So jump on the 60 dollar offer before he sobers up from last night and changes the price.

Man I got to start charging people

I have done about 3-4 plug changes for friends this year, and I never charged them for it.

As far as having a shop do it, They should be able to do it in about a hour. If they charge you more than 1.5 hours of labor thats to much.

I don’t think I would trust just any shop to change my plugs in these trucks…

I'm pretty sure "Book" is 2.5 hrs labor.

Do you go to UF?

My best friend that has changed plugs in Lightnings before would probably help you out. He goes to UF. He's down here in Miami this weekend, but send him an email @ jchunt123@aol.com , tell him I sent ya.

get a 7mm swivel socket 1/4" drive, for the coil pack bolt under the fp regulator, and a telescoping magnet and a few beers...there you have it. i remove the fuel rail bolts on that side to manuver the rail up a little.
