I forgot how much I hated changing spark plugs until yesterday. I changed a set on my dad's '01 Chevy and it was a pain in the a$$. Separate coil pack for each plug wire and the plug boots really don't want to come off. And to top that off the magnet in the rear end came loose and started chewing up the ring gear and broke about five teeth. It really made me appreciate my CTD.

 

I have zero desire to go back to plugs !!

 

I would say that's pretty mild compared to some of the crap that's happening to the POS Chevy's we have on our ranch. We have5 Chevy 8.1L V8's on the ranch and two of them in the oilfield, and oneDuramax.They arethe most gutless, gas gussling pieces of crap. They just fall apart around you. Every one of them has had the front bumper fall off at least once. They put the fuel pump inside the tanknow and every one of them has gone out at least once. It's an 80 mile trip to town and these trucks are in the shop a lot. Plus the service department at the dealership sucks. I love my Ram which is my personal truck and I'm wanting to start switching over to Dodge's for work trucks someday, if we can find a good dealer around here. Sorry for the rant, but the lack of quality is just outragious. They are just not build to leave the highway.

 

I hear you on the fuel pump. I did one on my old truck and a couple on some friends of mine. And the easiest way to get to the damn thing is to pull the bed. 'Cause you always have a full tank of fuel when the thing decides to go ahead and shell out.
