Looks like he had suffered a heart attack while he was sleeping. Will be a decent sized funeral tomorrow. Navy will be at the cemetery and City honor guard has been at the funeral home and will also be at the cemetery.

Just plugs and a few other parts right? Does that model have the breaking spark plug issue?

Pretty much just plugs for my truck. Tim. Fuel filter is non serviceable, and the air filter is a K and N. No issues with the plugs breaking that I am aware of. But not sure if I want to deal with trying to pull plugs and cop's out from under the fuel rails or taking the fuel rails off to do it. Already got a few quotes to do it. So far the dealer is one of the cheaper places to go and have it done. Dealer price is 350 bucks. One place was 420 bucks. Another was only a few bucks below what the dealer wanted.
