Thanks to this post I changed the plugs in about 4 hours including cleaning everything under the hood, it went very easy with no stubborn plugs at all.
The Dipstick, well since I read this before hand I was ready for it, mine tried to twist itself into a knot but before it made a 1/8th of a turn I tightened it back up a bit, placed a big flatip between the mount bracket for the tube and the valve cover. This boound the tube up and would not allow it to twist and that was all the help it needed to break the torque on the nut holding the tube in. This is my first go round with a 7.3 PS, I'm usually a 460 gasser kind a guy but I am really lovin this truck.
Thanks for the help

Holy flash back batman
glad this helped you out!
This was my first big project on my 7.3, just a few months after owning it. Kind of wierd since I have been absent for the better part of the last 6 weeks due to work. Feel like I am working towards finishing my bachelors on the 7.3 right now, and sure to go for the masters next.
A big thanks to everyone at FTE, its been an incredible learning experience, with the absolute best help out there.

You are welcome
Grant, you are welcome for the credit given, and its appropriate, thank you. No matter how a thread pops up in a search, it seems the FTE answers are 99% accurate, just like what you gave me, maybe a work in progress, but it got the job done then, and its still getting the job done now, thats what FTE is........
