Default Spark plug success

No issues. Yay! Followed the TSB and y'alls suggestions, going with the one piece Champion plugs. My car was sitting at close to 75,000, but the carbon buildup didn't look too bad. I'd been putting it off because of PA school, but since I'm on break right now I got it out of the way.

When I did mine on my 06GT it screeched like a stuck pig but I took my time and batted 1000 myself! Good job!

Jeez, now that the plugs are out of the way go buy a lotto ticket and while you're at it hit on the hottest girl you can find.

Why do these plugs look much cleaner than other plugs that are pulled at half the mileage?

I've got 56K on my 06 and I am scared to death to do the plug removal. I have done almost everything on vehicles in the past including engine re-builds and complete re-builds of totaled vehicles. Not much scares me. This does.

Great job!!!!!! I will be doing mine this weekend. I have ordered the LIS65600 kit for broken plug removal.Just in case of trouble I don't want my car down any longer than it has to be. After I am done with the kit I will sell it. One piece plugs here I come.

Nice I did mine a few months back when my 06 turned 30,000. Mine were a lot dirtier than yours and one broke.
