There are a few reasons for this, you dont just spin them in with a 2.00 socket and hope its good

100k spark plug change is about right, we normaly recomended at about 80k, there some ober special plug, that's why there about 8-12 $ each
and 400 $ is a load of crap, i was doin em all day for like 200$
Never had any of em come back for blowing out.
and it wasn't the EGR ...it was a PCM recall, we just posted the recall not....1 month ago, it's on HMT somewhere
on a good note.....if it was your mad skillz that caused the problem, it would have been damn near instant, and not months after the fact
