Well it was time for the dreaded plug change, changed them all out and 6 of the 8 broke, drained tranny fluid and coolant flush as well, cost me 492, for all the work. The Lisle tool is a great tool!!

Thanks Greg

 

Did you do that all yourself? How hard was the plug change.

 

i watched the whole process, my uncle owns his own shop so he did it for me, was strenious especially if one broke. took coil packs out, sprayed PB blaster and let sit for over an hour, then worker them free sprayin pb blaster as we went.

 

At least you got them all out. Still too bad you had 6 break though. I wonder what the variables really are. I'm beginning to think the Seafoam or Techron fuel treatment before the job really does make a difference. I did the Seafoam and all mine came out.

 

I had 54,xxx on my truck when i done mine last weekend. I sprayed aero kroil in mine and let it set for about 10-20 mins. I didnt break any off. But they did screach and scream all the way out. When I turned my rachet, I turn one bump at a time. When I say bump, thats when you turn the rachet and it feels like a bump as you turn.

 

the thing i hate the most is when the hole is plugged up with dirt, so bad in fact i couldnt get a socket on the plug. a screwdriver and compressed air will fix it tho.

of coarse i have done two (one with 125k and the other 140) and no plugs broke. so that makes me an expert....right???
