Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you to all you guys in this forum and the forum itself. I just purchased an 06 GT and wanted to give it a tune up. She has 90k miles and I wanted to change the plugs. Without this forum I might of never know about the carbon build up issues and would of ended up with major problems. I followed all the instructions I found here and all the plugs came out intact. Had some stressfull moments but with some patience they all came out.

Thank you again and I'm sure it won't be last time you guys will save me.

I have an '05 and was planning on replacing my plugs... Which ones did you go with? Did you have the special tool incase any broke? If so, did you buy or rent it? Sorry for so many questions.

tx_zstang... are you active in the MCA Austin Chapter? I see they have about 50 stangs in that group and was considering becoming a member... any input about the group?

Thanks,

Don

I didn't have the tool I just thought if I had an issue I would go get one. I used the one piece champion plugs. I bought them on jegs about 30% cheaper than autozone. I ran about 3 tanks of gas through with a bottle of sea foam in each before attempting the job. Once I started I just took my time.

I'm in Dallas, a little jealous of you guys in the hill country. I went to school at St. Edward's in Austin and miss it every day.

This site rocks. Have gotten all my install advice here, cai, longtubes and cams. Great info and people.

The removal tool is $150 at Napa here on Maui, my goal is to NOT, have to purchase it.
