Is there a better way to spend a day than with a tool in your hand and your feet sticking out from under your truck?

...most of the people I work with do that but not under their vehicles, they walk around with their tool in their hand!

I changed the plugs and fuel filter. Cleaned the MAF and throttle body. I also put some seafoam in the tank. I havent drove it yet but Im going to soon. I went with the E3 plugs. I got my back window and took the trim off of one side. The window looks good but the edges are rounded off and the stock window wasn't.

I wouldn't go E3 man. "Specialty" plugs never amount to anything on these motors of ours. Just use ACDelco Platinums or something like that.

Let us know how those E3's work out. Pretty much nobody I've talked to has had any luck with anything but ACDelco Iridiums in these trucks. That what they call for anyways. But maybe you'll get lucky with them.

I love them!! I got way better response now and it goes thew the rpm's quicker when I rev it. It also sound a little different. I seen them on HP TV dyno with these plugs and the got 7 hp more than the other ones. I also took off my side trim looks way better now. I did it with my finger nail. They still hurt

LOL, so the truck is running like 100% better or do you still seem to have some sluggishness in there?
