Default Did my plugs

I decided that it was time to get the job done after putting it off in case I broke a plug. The job took me about 4 hours. I could go faster if I did another I suppose... They all came out with out a hitch except the first plug drivers side. IT broke. I had bought the Lisle plug removal tool just in case. The tool is the *****! I had the broken piece out in less than 5 minutes. The truck has 91K on it and was starting to run a bit rough. All the electrode ends were worn down to the case. What a difference in the way it runs. All in all not such a bad job. The passenger side fire wall plug is not one I would like to see break. I'll post a photo if anyone wants to see what the plugs look like.

Good job man. That was a task I avoided by trading the 05 for an 09.

Here are the photos of my plugs. I hope they show how worn some were.

The 2 on the far right look decent. Where did those come from?

They came from the passengers side bank. First two from the front. All in all no carbon really on any.
