Plugs, wires, cap, rotor. My truck was feeling a little sluggish and I ran some Lucas fuel injector cleaner and put a tune up on it. Ran alot better. Try the obvious stuff first. A majority of the time it's the simple things.
just did all that to my truck plus an oil change....there is definatly a noticable differance.

Yea, I probably should be warping them every 6 months between the way I drive and pulling my heavy trailer every day.

Trailer Brakes.


I pull a 03 Jeep Rubicon on a trailer. Trailer brakes make a big difference.
