PSA: Check your spark plugs

Check em...Completely loose, no exaggeration.
Bought truck brand new, not sure if these were loose from factory or under-tightened and backed out over time, either way not good.
Not sure on which plug/firing order, but this was drivers side closest to radiator.

 

Mmmmm, juicy.

 

Did you have to remove the manifold to get to cylinder 6 on the back side?

 

No, just rearranged some vacuum hoses along with some brackets. Was not bad at all.

 

TW is making me paranoid again

 

Sorry to jack the thread for a sec here.

@JaCado, did stun get banned?

 

At this rate, we'll be rebuilding the entire truck to make sure everything is torqued and lubed properly.

 

I just hit 40k, so mine are due.
Not looking forward to it really, if its anything like the 2004 Nissan frontier, just set fire to it.

 

Yes sir. He took one for the team.

 

What made you think to check them? Any issues?

 

i never even checked my u bolts

 

I think 1 out of 5 trucks came from the factory properly built and spec'd

 

Brave soul...

 

No issues, I’m under mileage for plug change, but I get bored easy so decided to change them.
No symptoms/drivability issues before hand though.

 

What’d he do ?

 

Lol, he is a seasoned SP, it's part of the game.

 

Surprised he is not in the banned members memorial thread.

 

There have actually been a few people posting up loose plugs here lately, might not be a bad idea to check.

 

Made a "karen" comment on a new member post I believe. It was quickly becoming a dumpster fire with... please Identify these items (zip ties) under my truck.
