80K miles with same spark plugs..

Is it bad that im on the same spark plugs that that truck came with off the assembly line?

Nothing is wrong. It still runs very strong, but im thinking it might help a little more when I'm on the interstate.

 

They're suppose to be good for 100,000 miles.

 

I went that far when I had a Dodge Dakota. They should probably be changed, or at least check them. Electrode might be worn down.

 

if so then it makes no sense to change them out early...

 

I changed mine at 30K. A little off topic but what do they mean when they say, "running 1 step colder plugs?"

 

based off Nitro Radio Control cars...

colder plugs are for warmer/hotter climates... and vise versa for colder climates.

 

one of the nicest trucks on here,like the look.

 

I'd change 'em its a pretty easy and cheap DIY

 

Spec for the factory second gen. spark plugs is 30K. I would buy 6 new Denso spark plugs, and follow this write up.

The part# is in the writeup

 

X3 it's super easy , and why not change them? they are cheap.

 

if you leave them too long they might not come out easily. if they break you will have a headache

 

I change them just because I've seen em get "welded" in because they R different metal they block and factory didn't put antisize on them. Couldn't hurt and cheap peace of mind.

 

X 2. Sorry didn't read your post B 4 I posted the same thing.

 

Local dealer told me to wait till 100k. Hmm. wtf.

 

Well who R U going to believe the dealer or some guy on the internet ? I know what I'd do.

 

Glow plugs have nothing to do with climates(tuning may be different), they have to do with the engine size and what type of engine. R/C Glow plugs are nothing like spark plugs and cant be comparable.

 

What does Chris have to say about this?

 

i thought glow plugs where for diesel engines?
i know we had them on our forklifts and tractors...
