My truck is in need of a tune-up. I went and bought the spark plugs and asked for wire and they said they didn't have them or offer them. Thought it was wierd, so I went home and lifted my hood and really started looking to find I see no spark plug wires. How do I find my plugs to even change them?

Don't be alarmed. THings have changed. Each cylender on your truck has its own coil pack. You need to remove the coil pack to access the plug. They are mounted either in the valve cover or up near the intake. Here is a picture of the coil pack to help identify it. Unbolt it, remove it, use an extension and you'll get the plug.

Let me know if you have problems or other questions. Also, make sure to gap the new
plugs. .040 (In thousandths of an inch)
