My kid changed the plugs in his 04 Ram in about an hour.I hope you used a dab of antisieze on the threads and some dielectric grease on the boots.Rocky

They're not as bad as it looks, it takes me about 30-45min if I gap them first, they're all pretty straight forward except the ones near the brake booster, on those I stack a few short extensions in the hole and pull them out 1 by 1.

put on a lift, remove plastic inner fenders and stand up to do it, it's much easier on the back. I can do all 16 in under an hour this way start to finish.

that plug wires mess is a whole nudder story in itself
