Subject: DML: 4.7 spark plugs

In the words of Adam Sandler..."FAAKING SHIIT!"

Pulled out the #1 plug and it looks good, gapped at .041 and has a yellowish
tinge to it. They didnt put antisieze on them at the factory though.
This sucks because of the aluminum head and the fact that it looks almost
impossible to get all of the coils off. Coolant lines run right over 2 of
them. Looks like you have to take off the air intake and move the lines to
one side. Then the coil tubes are about six inches long and you can barely
get them out.
I'm not looking forward to that, but then I wonder what the dealer labor
guide recommends to charge for this. It has to be at least a 2 hr job!
I think I'll just change the oil today. Going synthetic!
