    Why do I love my Tundra?
    Because it's not a "DODGE" or a "Ford" but why would I say such cruel things?

    I recently bought a Dodge 2500 4x4 plow truck (Plow Included) with 94,000 miles on it for $2500 and decided to do a spark plug change on the V10 engine. Well, long story short the passenger side 5 plugs were changed with great effort and the other 5 be waiting for a miracle to happen.

    Why why why are spark plugs breaking off in the heads these days?

    Looks to me to be a poor design with that well around the plug allowing water to just sit there beside it. Also Champion plugs should only be used in lawnmowers. ;)

    You need to use anti-sieze on the threads only, prevents what happened. Dodge has used champion plugs forever. The old Ford 5.4 did the same thing. Aluminum heads and steel threads.
