2006 Chevy Silverado 100,000 Mile Spark Plug Change

[@FranciscoGomez-i3m]

Are those iridium or platinum

[@graysonsgarage5157]

Platinum

[@fabiantravis09]

I still have my original plugs in my 4.3L Silverado. They have 194,000 miles on them now and still going....

[@graysonsgarage5157]

That goes to show you just how reliable GM really is, but I think it's better to be safe than sorry.

[@andyhamilton8940]

thats awesome! youll be thanking yourself when all the plugs freeze in the head.

[@devinslurry365]

That what I just told him. 167k on mine and not an issue. The plugs are never the problem.

[@devinslurry365]

@@andyhamilton8940 Not when you figure out that the chinese cut corners on replacement parts. I say dont fix what is not broke. Mechanics fear that sentence most of the time. Spark plugs on Silverados dont fail very often if at all.

[@devinslurry365]

Brush that dirt off. lol

[@devinslurry365]

Have 167k on mine and should I change mine? Never felt the need.

[@devinslurry365]

The 7th plug you pulled out looks as clean as your new one. So interesting. You are pre-servicing your truck. Your front end will give you a shit ride before your spark plugs fail.

[@fabiantravis09]

I'll be replacing them soon. I kept getting to busy at the end of the year and I'm not paying $500 when I have all the tools in the world to do it myself

[@devinslurry365]

I would charge you $200 + parts for this needles job.

[@jvirg]

@@devinslurry365 why needless?

[@YaRight2986]

Torque to 25 ft lbs? I’ve been told 15 is the spec

[@infringinator]

Mine had factory iridiums somehow unless previous owner changed them but the hardest to reach plug hole had a few stripped threads! Luckily I got that sumbitch in there just hope it's all the way in lol.

[@brandonbreaker7390]

infringinator shut up punk

[@georgekrug2071]

Worse than a Backyard Mechanic!

[@georgekrug2071]

Sonds like its missing and Ruff to me me at idle

[@graysonsgarage5157]

Funny, I don't hear anything, and I've never gotten a Check Engine light other than for a faulty mass airflow sensor.

[@tkrause1413]

I think it’s just the exhaust. I thought the same thing.

[@jvirg]

@@graysonsgarage5157 is it actually faulty? Because it seems like a known problem with other people I have talked too where ot throws the code P0101 or P0102. I'm told just leave because I may end up chasing and never solving the problem

[@Lorde360]

Truck does rev better with pennzoil 👌.

[@graysonsgarage5157]

I've been using it since the day I've owned it. I did occasionally try express lube at one point in time, but later became loyal to Pennzoil ever since.

[@devinslurry365]

You have to understand that mechanics will tell you that GM recommends X at Y miles. Even if X will still function for the next 100k miles. Fix X when it breaks in this case, but with brakes fix them even when not broken if you can do that. Check your pads and your hydros. Because looking up from your iphone when everyone stops in front of you matters.

[@BobSmith-st1wq]

Do not put anti seize on electrical parts, anti seize conducts electricity.

[@butchczamanski9860]

Are you saying it shouldnt be put on the thread of the spark plug?

[@jonathancanning3554]

The plug grounds to the head... so its not bad for it to conduct

[@w0wnoothernames]

Your suppose to put anti seize on plugs

[@trev1481]

@@w0wnoothernames Not on the whole thread like he did, only the upper half!

[@j1mmyv707]

Anti seize does a chemical reaction with certain spark plugs and will weaken threads and will brake next time they gotta come off. There's plenty of videos on here on KZbin about why you shouldn't use anti seize on certain spark plugs.
