champion spark plugs

rustred · Jan 13, 2023

the jeep got it first set of new plugs since new [2013] they went double the recommended change. got 283,000 km. out of them champions. not a whole lot left out of the electrode and also a .090 gap on them . maybe i didnt get my moneys worth from them if it was using more fuel than it should have , but will see. had champions right from the factory, put nkg in and will see how long they last as thats what the dealer had in stock.

Holy Grand Canyon plug gap, Batman!! I have never seen plugs that worn out!!

And never seen a plug with that many threads!

I have no idea what brand plugs are in my 97 Chevy Blazer. I know I have not touched them since buying it in 2002. Still less than 200,000 km on it and the engine starts and runs perfect. They look very inaccessible in that 4.3 V6 so I've been reluctant to touch them.

Take the wheels off and go thru the fender wells. #3 can be a challenge. I am sure you have without a doubt replaced the fuel filter. Like those plugs that have stressed the ignition coil/coils a restricted fuel filter does the same to the fuel pump.

That puts a lot of stress on the ignition coil/coils.

How about no electrode and shooting straight across?
That rates up with the disc brake rotor missing the rotor and only having the center hub.

Fuel filters been changed at least once. Had to replace the fuel tank when a hole rusted through the side. Trapped mud between the tank and frame caused it. Some places you just can't wash out even with a pressure washer.

Cool.

When I think I am going after an electric fuel pump on a vehicle with a metal tank I ask the big question. "If i see any rust it needs a tank are you going to OK a new fuel tank" That also includes a mechanical pump engine that I am replacing the fuel sender are anytime I drop a metal tank for any reason.

If they say NO I decline the job : )

I just replaced the tank on a 88 ford F100 it surprised me the inside of the tank looked great. I cleaned the top side where it had an insulator pad between the frame and the tank. After I knocked off the rust it had pin holes.

I do like plastic tanks I plan to put a set of plastic tanks on my 95 F250. I put a new set of metal tanks on it 5 years ago. One of the sender floats got a pin hole in it I had to replace the float. The inside of that new tank looked to have some rust in it. When i service it soon, if I see any rust in the fuel filter I will order those plastic tanks.

Good clean fuel is hard to beat : )

Hobo is so right. If the voltage increases enough to fire
the plugs it can jump to the coil trigger wiring in the
coils. Then you get to replace the coils, the engine
control module, and the plugs. You are more likely to get
the plugs out without a fight at 100k.

I'd be surprised if you don't like NGK spark plugs. They have certainly become my go-to sparkplug brand; I just wish they made aircraft plugs.

You were paying for NEW plugs LONG before you replaced those.

Our Silverado is supposed to go 100,000 on the plugs. We replaced them at 84,000. Fuel mileage did increase.
