I recently took my truck to the shop to get my head gasket replaced and when I got it back it wasn't running as it use to. It is really rough and I think it might be misfiring. I also think that they put the plugs in the wrong way as in not the firing order. I would bring it back to have them do it, but I won't be able to until Saturday. Can someone help me out to see if the plugs are correct? Thank you very much.

Hi,

Here is the firing order:

V6 Firing Order: 1 4 2 5 3 6

Picture 1 shows cylinder locations.

Pic 2 shows the coil. Note the arrow showing front of vehicle. I highlighted a number on each of the wires. Those numbers indicate which cylinder that wire should go to in the first pic I attached.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

The easiest way to do it is to remove one wire at a time and size it up with the new wires out of the box and if the little plastic retainers are not gone, you can sometimes salvage them by opening them up with a pocket screwdriver. If not just use zip ties or equivalent, so long as they are tied down and away from anything hot or moving.

I need to know the proper wiring from the coil pack to the spark plugs. Bought the truck without an engine and the salvage yard engine had the wires pulled off. Would you have a diagram I could follow or directions
