    Did that a while back. Hot too hard, just time consuming. And that coil on the front driver's side cylinder (cylinder #2, maybe?) is a royal pain in the ass to get out. :mad:

    I'll have to do it again soon. 60K mile maintenance will be here in a few months.

    Getting the wiring harness off of #2 coil was a PITA, everything else was pretty painless for me. With a nice 72 degree day here in OKC, I was glad to be outside.

    Washed it and then wiped it down with this. Love this stuff. Easy to apply and great UV protection against the Florida sun. I've been using it since I got the truck. Don't want this one to look my my 2000 did when I sold it.

    all of them except the cluster electronics, you can swap the faceplate but some lights wont be in the right places. some are plug and play like the steering wheel, black center console, ac surround, carpet and clock. others require some require additional modifications (ac controls, radio). its doable for a decent price if you get auto salvage parts and ask guys on here that have done it before.
