And it Drives and Sounds SOOOOOO MUUUUCCCCH BETTTEEEERRRRRR. No more tick, and it idles much smoother. And the plugs were waaaay bad, I wouldnt be surprised if they were original. They are supposed to be gapped at 0.54”, The ones I pulled out were anywhere from 0.67” to 0.79”. That could be why Ive been getting 14mpg as well as why it wouldnt start yesterday (I had to pump the throttle to get it started).

Also, Thank you !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for telling me to get new wires too. For some reason I listened to you and I ended up breaking most of them getting them off. You saved my ass.

I did this in front of the house that Im dog sitting at, got alot of attention from the neighbors, none of it bad I dont think. I was gonna do it this morning but the second I walked out to my truck it started to rain, then it stopped around 4pm, and the second I finished it started to rain again.

I want to replace the plugs on my car. They’re actually easy by transverse V6 standards since the intake has cutouts for the rear bank coils/plugs, but I’m still going to wait until I replace the valve cover gaskets which are a pain. I’ll be using pre-gapped Denso iridiums that are supposed to be good for 100k

Ah, nice. Gojo also works pretty good.

Just making sure that I sent it to the right place.

I used pre gapped NGK Iridiums, they still needed to be gapped. Be sure to check the gap before you put them in. and 5/6 of my plugs were super easy, but cylinder 3 was annoying. I ended up going through the passenger wheel well to do that one.

Good job, but I think it’s time to drop in a 6.7 Powerstroke and be done with spark plugs altogether.
