Where to get plug change?
I live in OKC, Ok. and I'm trying to find a good cheap place to change the plugs on my '97 5.4. The dealership here wants $340 to do it. Can't afford that. The truck has 97,000 miles on it. A shop will work, or an individual that has done it before. Any help will work.

You can do it yourself, if you dont have the tools you can pick up a cheap ratchet, a couple extentions and a socket for under$50, then the plugs.
Just take it slow, do 1 at a time and you wont have any problems

It is best to purchase the longer spark plug socket. I am not sure if anyone but snapon makes them or not. The Snapon socket cost me 28 dollars but it was sure worth it. Regular spark plug sockets tend to bind up I found, and I worried about not getting them tightened correctly enough to stop the blown plug threat.
Changing the plugs is easy once you have made up your mind to do it.
There is a link some where on here that points you to that Snapon socket. My mac isn't inclined to help me out finding it today.
