Wife and I have had this truck since about 2008. All was well. We ran it. We changed the oil, filter; air filter and battery when needed. Did the brakes on it. All was well.
Year and a half ago, the truck developed major issues. It was hesitating, it was stumbling, couldn't step on the gas, without it trying to die.
So. Here's the deal. Figured it was starving for fuel as it kept throwing different cylinder codes and such.
I changed the filter-broke the @#$*@*( blue clip in the process and that was an adventure.
Anyway.
It runs a little better, but still hesitates, misses and such.
I can get it up to speed-kick it out of overdrive and run up the RPMs and she will boogie.
But.
The truck has about 200K on the clock.
Now, for years, out of fear of "HOLY @#$() WHAT NOW????!!!!" I have avoided the spark plug issue.
So.
I'm kinda like a newb at this so, don't judge me. How hard is to change these bad boys out?
Is the nightmare all it's made out to be?
Is there something else that could be causing this? Fuel pump? Maybe?
