[DrVoddka]

Welp, I gave up trying to torque the spark plugs that are next to the firewall on the driver side.
That side sucks, if anyone has tips drop them here for the next guy

Just do like ford does with the powerstroke and remove the cab for ease of access

Right ? Or just pull the engine

I tightened them by hand then used a ratchet to snug them

I know that driver side was frustrating when I installed my headers. Of course if I had a 2 post lift, it would've been much easier.
Not sure if it would help with doing the plugs, i haven't changed mine yet, but when doing the headers, I removed the steering shaft and it gave me more room to work with and get my arms up in the engine bay through the wheel well

Thought about removing the steering shaft too, I didn’t really mess with it though

Could be the secret to getting to the rear plugs easier. I will try it or atleast look at it closer when I do my plugs here in a few weeks

As long as they don't back out, you should be fine. But that's the purpose of the sealing ring on the plugs

How many hours does a shop charge for to do plugs?

 

[DrVoddka]

No idea I did them myself, the truck works and nothing blew up

The truck is responsive again
