No No No get your mind out of the gutters......

I taking about Changing Spark Plugs on teh 3.9L V6.

I've heard some guys say they did it on there lunch break and some people take all day to do it.

I'd like to change my plugs to the AutoLights but I'm alittle weary on the install. Like what Will DOdge say when they see them when i brring my truck in for service?? I'd change them in a heart beat if it wasn't for this stupid warranty BS and the 9K hops you have to jump through just to keep it all.

Thankx

Mr. Dodge Dealer would probably frown on having them in an 2002 truck

I tried them on my truck and they didn't work out, gave me a stumble right off idle changed back to the factory plugs and it was gone.

I put up with the autolites for 500 miles before I changed them back. They are not hard to change about an hour or less just make sure you have some air to blow the dirt and anything else out from around the plugs before you take them out also don't be surprised if you break some of the factory plugs taking them out. I broke 3 off (remember the air !!! blow the bits & pieces out before you take them out)

Right now I have changed my T-stat to a 180* and I don't know if it is working out or not, truck acts like it never warms up sometimes I step on it hard and it sputters like it's still cold, I'm going to give it a while to evaluate before I change it back.


good luck

Dan
