Call the dealer and figure 2/3rds for a garage to do it....

Do it yourself and learn about the rig. Review several recent posts about plug changes and save some $$$ for those XMas bills.... or a nice pices of chrome for the truck.

It depends on whether its a 2 valve or 3 valve. I have a 06 3 valve V10 and the spark plugs alone were $9.29 each,so at almost a hundred bucks just for the plugs that quoted price isnt too bad. I agree with the earlier posts though, changing them yourself is a good way to learn more about your SD.

Bookum1,
I was amazed at how easy it is to change these plugs. I planned on a full day to get the job done but in 2 hours I was finished. If you have like 3 different sizes of extensions nothing is that bad to get to. The money you save by doing the job yourself you can buy a nice Tq wrench and pocket some extra money. Then you'll have the Tq wrench available to re-torque them in 15k miles instead of taking it back to the mechanic and being charged another $150 to do it.
