Probably should of changed the spark plugs sooner...

Easy to overlook common maintenance on these trucks pretty ashamed on this one.

 

Those look nasty. How many miles?

 

Dat gap doe

But better late than never. Might as well do the oxygen sensors as well.

 

Wow!!! Those are pretty nasty lookin plugs!!

Now you're good for another 13 years

 

I am in the same position smh. Mine are way overdue but it kept slipping my mind.

 

The guy with over a million miles changed his for the first time at 700+k so I wouldn't sweat it. Doesn't the manual say around 40-60k?

 

I was under the impression initially it was at 100k, but apparently I was reading something wrong...

It's 30k according to this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-spark-plug-change-1-gr-fe.30479/

 

Yeah i remember reading it and thinking it seemed pretty often.

 

This weekend I'll be changing them for the first time since I've owned it. I'm just worried about getting them out without damaging any threads. I'm cool with every 30k, at least then I know they probably won't get stuck lol

 

30K for the V6
100K for the I4

 

I have changed the plugs on my 68 before but that is it. Are there any challenges involved w/ taco?

 

Change is extremely easy, and plugs are around 2.50 each if you wonder if they are factory or not they come with different branded plugs in each head.

 

Not really. I've just had bad luck with them not wanting to come out before

 

How many miles you got?

 

167k

 

Noticeable difference?

 

I changed the plugs in my old "98" Taco at 150k. The plugs still looked good, not burnt up like these in the picture, but one quit firing. Ran fine one day, bad miss the next morning. I replaced both the plugs & wires, so really don't know if it was a sparkplug or a sparkplug wire.

 

190,00 on the factory plugs was running fine

 

My truck has 135k and is on third set of plugs. This set had 50k on them, don’t look too bad

 

Does seem to start quicker and run smoother, my truck has led a pretty rough life was a county electric service vehicle for 120k miles then sold to a farmer that used it as a farm truck and traded it in at the dealer i work at and i bought it without seeing it for 2k
