    Today i changed my plugs and cops. Had no breaks and saved a lot of money. I just took it easy and didnt even use a penetrating oil. Dealer quote was $900 if none broke. I spent 336 for all plugs and cops. I have to say having the body lift made it easier for the back ones. My truck runs so much better too.First plug change and i have 119k.

    Lol you want to come change mine for free since your so lucky man. I'm not to far away. I've got 160 000 and I'd say they are the original plugs so I dread it. Did you put the champion 1 piece plugs back in or motorcraft?

    i put motor craft back in. the biggest thing i feel that helped was i seafoamed the truck two weeks ago and hoping it broke up some of the carbon. even if you have one break the tool is so simple to use it is still and easy job. i have dreaded this so bad but now i would not hesitate to do this for someone.
