your truck doesnt have wires... it has indiviudal coil packs per cylinder... they can run anywhere 50-75 or from what i see... i wouldnt replace them unless u need to or have the extra cash... or if u find the whole set dirt cheap new on a site

haha nah its honest mistake.. the plugs on out truck aint as bad as the 04-09.... ill give u a hint... take all the coil packs off and spray pb blaster into them all and let sit for 15 mins then crack each one an 1/8 turn.. and spray more in... and let sit for a15 mins... then just be easy remobving them

Just popping in, make sure to use plenty of anti-seize on the new plugs and lots and lots of dielectric grease everywhere else. That way the plugs are easy to remove the next time you want to replace them, and water doesn't get in and mess up your connections.
