Changed my plugs today....
Changed my plugs today....
I had almost forgoten what a pain in the *** it is to change the plugs in a Lightning. I bought this truck bone stock with 17k miles on it and before I put the 6lb lower on I pulled the blower to clean the intercooler and at that time I also installed some fresh TR6's while I had the blower off.
The truck is approaching 30k so I decided to install a new set of TR6's, with the blower off it was so easy to do but I appear to have made a slight error with my tightning of the plugs when the blower was off. I got all the driver side out with no porblem but I played hell with the back two on the passenger side. I could not get a decent angle on the passenger rear to get any real leverage on it so after finding the right combination of extensions I finally got it out after messing with for 20 minutes
On good note the plugs all looked great, I have been running my 6 lower now for 13k miles and a few custom predator tunes.
Here is video of my exhaust combo on the Dyno in November (dynatechs, high flow cats, and a magnaflow cat back)

Actually I did install the mad enterprises coil pack bolts when I did the plugs, but in all honesty I dont think they will save me much time during the next plug change.
My next mission will to be remove all the EGR crap, but I will just wait till the KB goes on for that.
