It depends somewhat on which engine and what year truck it is. Older, carbureted or fuel injected models are pretty easy, just do one at a time so as not to mix up the plug wires; Plan about an hour for these, but it should take less. Newer ones (around 2000 on) using individual coil packs for each spark plug are a little more work, not particularly difficult, just more time consuming, because you have to move or remove some extra things like a/c lines and the coil packs to get to the spark plugs; Allow 2 hours or more for these, depending on your skill level, and here's a tip for these; You will either need a true spark plug socket with its rubber insert or use an old spark plug boot for unthreading and threading the spark plugs; They are situated at the bottom of a tube, through the intake manifold, and you will not be able to use your fingers, period.

Not that difficult if it is like the 2001. It has separate coils on top of each spark plug. undo the connector of the plug and the unscrew it. take if off then unscrew the plug. You might have to remove the air intake box to get to all the plugs. Only took about an hour or so, but I had already had a couple "cans of beverage" by then so that is probably why it took longer.
