Kaptain, the old plugs I took out looked good, the only problem I had was removing #3 plug the tin cylinder that the plug fits in would not let the socket on the plug enough to get it out so I tapped the socket on. maybe I should pull that one back out and check it. I prob. have to two footed it like you said. there was no oil or carbon on any of the old plugs and the electrodes all looked good and the gap on all was .040 to .045. IT has a drain somewhere and sometimes after only sitting a week or two the battery is dead. When I bought the truck a year ago I just thought the battery needed replacing. After paying 95 dollars for a new one I found that not to be the case. I'm an old dirt that does not know crap about working on todays motors.
