Yeah its not that bad of a job I did mine one afternoon after school just set aside about 2 hours to be safe. The only plugs I struggled with were the 2/3 under the brake booster/mastercylinder bther than that it was decently easy. I would however wait till the truck is really cool I did mine bout 1/2 hour after driving and had a few tender fingertips after that.

I took a look down the holes on mine and they were pretty much spotless the wires were sealed into the valve cover hard on mine so there was nothing to worry about but I still did check.

It's not a hard job to do. The back couple on the driver's side are not fun but other than that it is pretty straight forward.

i thought the back plugs on the passenger side were a bit o fa pain, some hard line running through there, don't remember what. drivers side wasn't bad for me cuz i had an assortment of fittings.

did them when it was 20 out, and it started snowing. took 4 hours with all the breaks.
