didnt really do anything to the truck except run out of gas in the driveway lol (my guage is stuck on full still)....
BUT i got a nice dodge sticker yesterday that i put on my back window (its a black and chrome dodge emblum / "Dodge" letters...
Also my fiancee bought me a new Dodge hat.....my old one is covered in paint due to my old job, so she bought me an early x-mas gift and gave me the hat....its awesome....its camo colored, with the dodge emblum and says 'RAM' on it.....cant beat it.

I did plugs. uggh! But it feels good.
Mine were still original with 85k on her (04 QC 5.7 4x4). I got her with 80k about 2 1/2 months ago and just this week noticed hesitation one day and she died one time at a stop light the next day. No more delay, time do the plugs. I read alot and was prepared. Took a while, but I got 'er done and she runs great now. I used NGK 5306, gapped at .045 like on the sticker on the underside of the hood, with anti-sieze and dielectric grease. I started on the drivers side front to back then passenger side, front to back, one at a time. I labeled them as they came out so I could analyze. I may post picks. They weren't too bad considering how long they were in there. I would be ok with changing them at 50-60k instead of 30k. I am getting old and it was a little rough on my body cause I am feeling it this morning :-)

I highly recommend getting a tire step to make working on the engine easier. Using mine, the plugs were easy to reach -- it was only the distributor that caused misery.

I can relate! I did my 100,000 mile tune-up about a month ago and came away bruised and sore. I'd considered trying to get my eldest grandson to crawl up there to swap the distributor cap and rotor, but he skedaddled when he realized what I was up to.
