    Genius idea. Cheaper than a shop.

    Ok so I'm done. Took the entire damn day. Like I said earlier I got 3 out clean on the passenger side, broke the next 4 plugs, successfully extracted them. And partially rounded off the last plug and left it in there before I did any further damage. Going to try to swap it out next weekend. Btw like everyone else says, that Lisle tool does amazing things.

    Overall the truck runs so much better. No more rough idle/acceleration. I feel pretty dang accomplished seeing how my buddies dad spent $1200 getting a shop to do his plugs, feels great to save $1080

    Pics!

    First of all working in this mess of wires and hoses was such a pain, took me 15 minutes to get the 7mm bolt off the rear COP. :facepalm:

    You should have sprayed down that dusty engine bay prior to doing the swap. That things dirty.
