do yourself a favor, and buy a repair manual from either haynes, or chilton specific to your truck. pull wire from plug pull from the boot, not the wire. remove plug with appropriate socket careful not to break plug in cyl head, or you will be swearing alot and need a machine shop to repair the problem. check plug condition, use chart included in the manual, it will give you an idea of the condition of the engine. get new plug. gap it to .35. Chrysler recommends champion rc12yc (i believe) carefully thread plug into hole carefully screw it in w/socket do not over tighten. re attach wire. repeat until all plugs are replaced.

its a good idea to disconnect batt before beginning work, allow 5-10 min to allow your air bag to power down so it wont go off while you work

-when plug is out of the cyl hole, blow air into hole to remove any crap in the hole.

-lightly coat new plug w/anti seize compound. this will make removal easier the next time you change plugs.

-some people apply a dab of dielectric grease on their plug wire contact inside the boot. this will help keep moisture out

-do one wire at a time, mark them if you have to. it is easy to forget where the wire goes if you pull off more than one wire at a time.
