I'm now at 34XXX miles and now that its summer and I have alot of time on my hands I figure it's a good time to get in there and change the plugs. I know I need 16 copper plugs and apparently some garden hose according to Hammer haha. But what else should I be getting? Swivel sockets? I'll be on a kinda tight budget so if you know the cheapest route of getting this done right I'm all ears. And what about the coil packs? Do I need to change wires in these or the whole pack or can whatever is there stay? Thanks in advance as always guys.

 

I changed my plugs a few weeks ago. Basically I used the 10mm sockets to get the caps off then for the plugs themselves I just used two 2" extensions on a 3/8" ratchet. The two separate extensions allowed me to get in there to the tight spaces. You may want some grease & air to blow off the thing before you take the plugs out.

 

Yes and have a massage all lined up for that evening too.
Plan on most of the morning or afternoon to get it all done.

 

An extra-long plug socket helped me a bunch. It sticks up out of the plug well an inch or so. I got mine from Harbor Freight for 'bout $5. Amazon has one, too.

 

I have some extensions for my sockets but I did read about swivel ones so idk if I really need them. I also did forget about the anti seize for the new plugs

 

Dont we have a How To on this in our FAQs?

 

No sir. Not that I saw anyways. I always check from time to time to see if someone does but I guess no one is brave enough. Just A LOT of threads about this. I think my main concern is the coil pack issue since I have no clue what that means or if I should do anything about them.

Removing the air box frees up space, it pops off two bolts in the fender ( take out air filter and you willsee it) , air inlet, c clap on TBI and out goes the air box ( also helps when getting at the right head light bulbs) under the brake booster is a bit trickey, But I did it, next go arround I will give platt plugs a try ( srt engines use platt plugs, not coper)

I'm lucky to get 40,000 km out of 16 sparkys than the mpg drops hard and the truck runs not so good...

 

I have a Homemade CAI so I don't even have the stock air box anymore lol
