Hemi hat is long gone when I put on a K&N CAI last year. I will thank my father for buying me a 3" 3/8" drive ratchet. Works wonders in small areas and the chances of breaking bolts is almost nonexistant.

When I did mine it made it a lot easier to put a blanket on the front cross member (where the hood latch is) and sit up there.

 

I have the Trans4mer and I used it as a jungle gym to climb all over. I did have to lean in there further than I would have liked on the back plugs.

 

I just turned 40k miles. I'm gonna wait till atleast march or april when it warms up a bit to change my plugs. I have to make room in my shop so I can fit my truck in there when I want to work on it. does anybody use NGK V-power plugs. I've used them in all the trucks I've owned. and never had a problem. do the hemi's like these?

 

Haven't been around in a while either, but just wanted to say that your truck is lookin' GOOD, Pirata! Was retired from the Air Force, myself, back in May... but it wasn't really my choice. Good to still see a few familiar faces around here.

 

This is the easy way for me but I am in a shop that is heated. I raise the truck on the hoist remove the ft tires and the inner fender liners plugs are easy to get to that way and saves my back

 

I like V-Powers myself. I will be using them when it is time for plugs in my Hemi.
