Half are COP(Coil on Plug), the other half have a plug boot & wire. NOT too bad? They are not fun. HALF of the cylinders are under the windshield. You need to be limber to reach them. Overweight people may have trouble, unless you have long arms. My 2007 Ram 1500 needs plugs again. The first time I changed them, it took me 2 hours. I do expect to shave a little time when I do the next set. Finally, some auto parts guys will try to push you into platinum or some other useless plug upgrade. Tell them that you want OEM stock type plugs. There is no performance to be gained with the more expensive plugs with a stock engine.

I cannot do it myself for that price after I sized up the job and saw the potential aggravation. '68 Newport Custom Barge on a Budget!!
