Hi - looking to change the sparkplugs on a 2003 QC, 4.7, automatic
transmission. Was wondering if any of you had any tips on the
easiest wway to get at them - from the top, through the wheel well,
underneath?

Thanks!

Ok - I did a little searching - didn't realize these were on top by
the intake and come out vertically - MUCH easier!

Yep, you got it. You have to take of the air intake to make it easy.

Yep, from the top. Remove all the intake air ducting, unbolt each coil
that is attached to each plug, remove plug. You may have to remove some
bracket in order to get to the nuts that hold the coils on. Easy to do,
just time consuming.

I remember when I got our Dak... I couldn't find the damn plugs! lol

All the years of grabbing a plug wire and following it goes out the window with
coil-on-plug...
