Almost everything we need, six or 8cyl,s. Whatever, you'll need a five gallon bucket or a plastic milk crate. You may need a plug wire puller,cheap,3/8" ratchet,6 and 12" extensions and a 5/8" spark plug socket...Oh! I forgot a can of ANTI-SEIZE compound....You need the bucket or crate to stand on. Pull the plug wires and put the socket and ratchet on the plug.. Turn counter clock-wise to remove. Regardless of what anyone tells you check the gap between the center electrode and the little ground arm before you install the plug. Damn it I forgot the feeler gauge or plug gap tool.. After you set the gap apply a small amount of anti-seize to the threads ONLY. Install the plug with as much torque (pressure, as you needed to get them out) Reinstall the wires. Any problems contact me..Not a big job, just sounds that way...Give it a shot.....Yes there is right here on yahoo questions and answers. look on the right side of your screen at categories. click on cars and transportation > Maintenance & Repairs. Some one will give you an answer. Like me for example. Go to auto parts and tell the year and make of your truck and what engine it has. Buy the plugs and a small tube of dielectric grease, if your truck has alumium heads buy a small tube of anti seze compound. Plug size is from 5/8 inch to 13/16 inch. Check plug gap with a wire gauge. When removing the plug wires hold the boot not the wire and pull of Removing old plugs tighten plugs slightly then remove them one at a time. If the heads or alumium, put a small amount of anti seze compound on the plug threads don't need much. Screw the plug in and tighten it to 14 pound feet of torque, now cote the inside of the plug wire boot with small amount of dielectric grease. This keeps the boots from sticking to the plug. OK I know you wont to know why tighten the plug first. Carbon deposits form on the bottom of the plugs and head, sometimes when removing them this will strip the threads in aluminum. By slightly tightening them it breaks the carbon loose making it easier to remove the plug. Take your time and do it right, and anytime you need help with your truck or car this is the place to go. Dodge Man is on here and is really good, he has a shop in Kentucky and has been a mechanic for 36 or 38 years. If he doesn't answer your question, many others will. Good luck and have a Happy New Year.
