Spark plugs

When's the last time you changed your spark plugs? i hadn't ever done mine, as I've only had my truck for a year and a half. but I was at the store today, and picked up some bosch platinum plus plugs, on sale for 3 bucks a piece.

It only took about an hour.
my truck had a hesitation, it felt like a turbo was kicking in cause it wasn't getting much power in the lower rpm's. well that went away, and my throttle response seems a bit better too! AWESOME! My mpg has been shitty lately too, so hopefully this helps.

I'd recommend you do it if you haven't in a while.

 

Yeah I agree, new plugs can make a big difference... but why'd you get the platinum ones? Should have gone with Iridium plugs then you wouldn't have to change them so often..

Iridium Spark Plugs:
Iridium spark plugs, which are available for select Toyota models, have several benefits:
A smaller center electrode and promoting higher performance.
Iridium is a more durable material than platinum (its melting point is approximately 1,200° F higher than platinum).
And Iridium spark plugs last longer than conventional spark plugs. (Up to 110,000 miles.)

because I kept putting it off and i didnt do my research ahead of time

I don't mind doing them more often though, pretty cheap and easy. but thanks for teh heads up, I'll try them next time

 

I changed mine @ 80,000 miles to Irridium plugs.
