Is the spark plug wrench fitting on the plug ? did you blow out the sand and road debris out of hole ? did you use PB Blaster or similar type rust remover overnight ?
If you have already done all of the above , then you may want to re-examine the plug closely (with a bore scope ) see if there has been a previous "thread repair" ( like Dorman kit , a non-standard spark plug ) . Hang in there .
Good luck,

The socket fits perfectly...I am using pb blaster and it has been soaking about 8 hours...i blew out the hole with a can of air...My truck has never blown a plug. I am tightening and reversing with my little impact hoping the vibration will help.. It has about 350 ft/lbs of torque but i only go full throttle for a second for fear of breaking it off and it wont budge.. I am trying again about every hour...on a side note the truck runs awesome since i replaced 7 plugs and 8 new accell coils. Im ready for that ohio hill

I think my little impact has more than enough power to get job done, I build a lot of chain link fences and it has no problem shearing off nine sixteenths bolts if you aren't watching with your doing
