Well, now that both my arms are torn up, and being it Texas it was soo hot. Anyway, I replaced all 16 plugs. PITA!





Pretty worn out, they have 50K miles on them.

I did use champions. Truck seems much peppier, and I am getting better MPG.

 

cool man, i'll be doing mine along with with a wire kit on saturday.

 

Yeah they can be a PITA thats for sure. But at least it did not cost you much, you did it yourself and you got it over with. LOL

Now onto something else..... ;-)

 

I changed mine from the bottom (through the wheel wells) and it wasn't that bad. Next time give that a try and you can save your back and arms the abuse. remove the front wheels and fender liners and you have a pretty straight shot into the engine bay and much better access.

^^^^ I didn't think of that. I was too busy wondering why I was using the universal adaptor on every effing plug.lol. I started 4:30 am. finished 9:30. am. Coulda been sooner, but why race and drop or break something...Thats pretty much what i got when I took mine out. The champions were pretty close too gap btw. was yours?

 

Out of the box? Yeah they were perfect. i checked them all to be sure.. All were about .45. Stock ones were off.. about .48-.50

 

my stock ones were like at .90 no joke. The gaps were worn to double of what they should have been but that was after 105,000 miles. I would also clean your throttle body, just be sure to connect the plug ALL THE WAY. I almost **** a brick when the truck just fell flat when i got on it and i wasn't able to accelerate.

 

i have a 4.7 and i need to change the plugs as well, i have about 62k on them. if im right, i believe mine has 16 plugs also..... ????

 

The ones that I pulled out were pretty much still at.45, but that was with only 30K on them. I probably could have run them a lot longer, but for the ~$25 it is to change them out I figured it was better safe than sorry.
