    Yes I wanted TOTAL weight of truck and trailer together on the pad.
    The trailer is a 1994 featherlite all aluminum bumper pull. Max trailer weight is about 4,300 lbs.

    You are the first person I've heard of that actually checked gap.

    It's usually, "plugs looked good..."

    Yeah.
    Lol, I have multiple gauges and always check gap, but I also know what a carburetor and points are. And I have a dwell meter.

    Yeah.
    Well, apparently there are too many feels in the world these days, so nobody does an unlike button. But to ignore someone, just click on their name and hit Ignore. Of course, if you were wanting to ignore me and already figured it out, you might not see this. So, sorry if that is the case.

    Not only that it took less than 20 minutes to change all 8 plugs in the v8 plus they were just regular $2.00 ngk resistor plugs.

    That sounds near impossible unless your hobby is buying tires, you have had incredibly bad luck with tire damage and/or drive like a maniac. I've got 21,000 on my original set with very little wear.

    Don't use anti-seize on plugs, multiple manufacturers state this. They come plated with zinc for that purpose.

    These are the tools I used on the Tacoma plug change. Basic tools, 3/8 and 1/4 ratchets, extensions and swivel 10mm socket, spark plug socket. The swivels help you snake into the tight spots. The magnet I use in case you drop a bolt, air blow gun to blow out any debris from spark plug hole before you pull the plugs, small pry tool to unclip the coil connectors, plug gap checker just to make sure gap is within specs, dielectric grease for the coil boots. I didn’t show it but you need a mechanics mirror to look into the spark plug hole to verify no debris is in the plug hole!
    There are a couple of intake brackets that I recommend taking off. For that you go through the fender well using a 12mm socket/swivel and extension.
    I’ve been working on cars since the 90’s, let me know if you guys have any questions. The plug removal in these trucks are not bad at all if you have
    the right tools.

    Thats fine if the case. This was the first time someone has mentioned this. Past plugs changed were just regular ones going into aluminum heads. I had always been told by toyota to use anti-seize.
    Also forgot to mention a thin dap of dielectric grease on the plugs top that inserts into the coil pack.

    I guess I should have mentioned that I sold my stockies a few months after I got my truck for 265 Toyos. Then got sick of them because they were too small, so I upgraded to 285 BFGs. :thumbsup:

    I just traded my 2018 with 32000 miles on it, I definitely was due for tires in the next 5000 miles. I can see the 3rd set at 76.

    Iridium/Platinum plugs I've used warn not to gap them because it can scrape off the plating.

    Check gap or adjust gap?
    Checking gap is fine...unless you're a ham-fisted brute.
    Adjusting gap? Yeah...that's a no-no.
