well! investigate first the type of sparkplugs your truck does works with! and get them! find out where are located on your engine, get the proper tool, and if you can reach them with your hands and sight, take them off and put the brand news, learn how to use the tool before before to change them. I don't know the name of this tool on english.
Your job is to investigate this tool and my work is going to the dictionary . Bye. greetings from Mexico

I have a 98 Montero Sport, whenever my belt sqeaks I check the tension and usually thats the problem. Tighten them accordingly and it should solve it. As for the timing belt, mine is a belt not chain. First time I had it changed was at 100,000 miles and the dealrship said I was cutting it close ><

Your belt is loose (and it just needs tightening) or it is worn and needs to be replaced. It may look ok but they glaze over; all the little ridges get shinny and slip.
