really slow truck

i was changing my plugs and i hate that back plug on the passenger side. so i took off the dipstick and then it was as easy as the rest of them. jsut took a wratchet and the 5/8" deep socket, nothin else. anybody else do this? just curious

Swivel head ratchet for me. It was a PITA though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Something worth mentioning for next time is ANTISEIZE (sp?) lubricant on the spark plug threads. This makes changing them the next time much, much easier. The only plug I have trouble with is number 7 in the back on the driver's side. Oh yeah, a little trouble with eight too because of the heat shield that is back there -it's hard to get the socket on sometimes. Good Luck.

I don`t .. I use a swivel head ratchet and the job is real easy,, with a 5/8" socket and short extension.. Way more room than the Firehawk had. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

no swivel for me on the 6.0. it was difficult, but not impossible.
