Default did tune-up today

First off thank you everybody for all suggestions on how to go about changing the spark plugs! The #3 plug wasnt that bad to change. Jacked up the truck. Removed the tires and went about it that way. I pulled the sleeve down on the steering shaft and turned the wheel 45* to get the flat spot on the shaft nearest the plug. Then used a swivel spark plug socket to remove it. I broke the spark plug upon removal so was extra careful when installing the new one. Other than that the major PIMA was the stupid@55 wire holder thingamabobs! I spent more time trying to get those stupid@55 things open than I did on the rest of the project. SO the project consisted of AC Delco platinum plugs. Which I pulled Bosch out. Wires, rotor and cap. I am whooped now though!

It would be the same its just two torx screws in the cap and the same for the rotor. It only takes a few minutes. I hated those wire holders too they made changing the wires like an hour longer than it needed to be.
