changed plugs

well got the plugs changed on my 01, and 3 of them were pretty rusty on the outside, moisture got down in the hole and around the boot, so was able to catch that before it became a problem, they all came out fine, no thread issues. I have 79k on the truck and glad that I got the plugs changed out.

I also paid my buddy to do it, he worked for a truck company, he knew what he was doing, and i worked on my dana 300 transfercase for my jeep.

sad when I will put rockwells under my cherokee, and pay someone else to change the plugs on my truck. don't want to have a blow out.

Great report... Glad you got them done now instead of doing an insert later

Besides, who wants to lay on an SD's radiator for 3 hours? Oh wait, I already did that ...

It took my buddy almost an hour to change all ten of them out. I was shocked, he has all the right tools, quick and easy, and if something does happen than he will cover it.
That is the part I couldn't beat.
