    What coils are they? that looks insanely high. You probably have no down travel at all.

    Id recommend taking it all off personally..

    I changed my first set at 82K. No electrode wear whatsoever. At the time, was doing the TB/WP. Did not do it because of loss of performance or MPG.

    Now at 85K on the current set. Same story, no loss of performance or unusual MPGs. I will swap in a new set along with new wires (still on originals) in the upcoming TB/WP swap.

    On my truck, there is no reason to do new plugs at 30K. In fact, 50K makes no sense based on history.

    I agree. No reason unless you are having performance issues. I'm a firm believer in keeping up on maintenance. I was the point I was changing all the shocks every 20k miles because I would blow one.

    If the plugs exhibited symptoms of failure, I would have changed them.

    I too believe in being pro-active with maintenance but some things I choose not to wait for signs of failure. Lower ball joints and the waterpunp are items I believe need to be changed before they become a problem. The waterpump because getting to it is a complex process. LBJs because a sudden failure is catastrophic.

    However, I don't see the value of doing this with spark plug. Sudden failures of spark plugs is unlikely.
