[QUOTE="Kirk Rich, post: 1043470, member: 65898"] Thanks! Just changed mine for the first time on my 2005 after reading this and the Project in the Forum. The three on the drivers side and front passenger plugs only took roughly 30 minutes. But OMG that #2 was no joke. While it was difficult to get out , My trouble was getting a plug back in. After failing for over 2 hours, I must have done some damage to the first few threads because a plug was Not going in there. Side Note that the Heater control valve also snapped when I must have brushed against it. That was an easy $28 fix. Had to have my truck towed home from where I was working on it. Wasn't sure if I'd have to pay to have someone fix it, pull the head, or what. [SIZE=4]I ordered a Lisle 20020 Limited Access Spark Plug Chaser for next day pick up at Orielly Auto. That thing was my Saving Grace. I was able to fix the threads in about 5 minutes and get the plug in. What a Pain![/SIZE] All plugs/wires changed and truck is running noticeably better. [/QUOTE]
