Unless you are the terminator, you need a torque wrench. And I don't mean brute strength.

I have never used a torque wrench on spark plugs..... for the ones with the two layer washer, screw 'em in until the seat, then another 15 minutes. (quarter turn) For the tapered seat flavor (no washer) screw 'em in till they seat, then another five minutes. Never had a problem.

I would have actually went on a different forum, registered, just to ask that question and not lose the respect of my colleagues on this forum. :P

OMG LMFAO!!!!! The funniest thread I have read since farmboy was posting crap about audio equipment

Seriously dude...the plugs are easy pickins...

8 Champion Copper Plus Plugs
Antisieze
1/2 inch drive ratchet
short and long extension (short one for the two rear plugs on driver side)
5/8 spark plug socket
Boot puller tool (not really necessary though)

Good times...good times!

My 18 yr old brother just changed his plugs on his SS/T (very first tune-up) yesterday...with my guidance and tools of course If he can do it......need I say more?

You need to get the video proof that your truck sounds better than mine first.
I thought of making a video of it spitting and spuddering on Main street for you.
