Plugs-Hand Tight & 1/4 Turn?
 
Thats what I remember from previous posts, is that right? Did a search and got chucks plug instructions, but didn't mention anything about torque or tightness spec. I know someone else put up a good post on changing them. Anybody know the link?
Thought I'd just pull a couple to see what condition they were in and check tightness. Darn, I can see where I'd need to set aside an afternoon, or hire a midget, to get at the back plugs.

Thanks,
Mark:)

i believe on our trucks that its tight + 1/16 turn..
thats what was listed on the box of densos..

Thats probably right. After re-installing cant imagine tightening them more than that. Looked good. Nice tan color on tip. 10k on them. Dont want to do all eight though, think I'll spend some of my hard earned cash on a mechanic.

According to Sal---snug/finger-tight, then 1/16th of a turn more. There are only 4-5 threads holding the plug in--don't go too tight.
