Gasket & RTV sealant for the Stat

Extra antifreeze remember the new trucks use the orange stuff don't mix it with the green

Mechanics gloves for the spark plugs hehehe...saves the nuckles

good luck
My truck didn't like either of them, changed back after 4-500 miles

My 2001 Dakota had the orange (extended life) in it.
The way the owners manual reads it could have had either, says to check under the hood.

Spark plugs :

Have some Air handy, you most likly will break some of them off taking them out (I had 3 that did) you will need to blow the bits & pieces out before you take them the rest of the way out. If not you know where they will end up at !!!!
