I am getting close to the 200k mark and will need to change out the plugs. I was not the owner of the truck when they were done the first time. Is there anyway to tell from looking at the plug if they were replaced with the redesigned plug not the original two piece plug? They are not Champion plugs I know that much. Any thoughts or helpful hints would be appreciated. I promise I will learn from this so when 300k comes around I won't ask again.

 

I need to know the same thing too. I am at 172k

 

If you pull one of the plug boots off you should be able to read a part number and/or brand name on the spark plug.

 

There aren't any plug boots. It's a coil pack and you can't see the plug by removing the coil pack.

 

The only two one piece plugs that may have been available when he did the plug change are the Champions and Brisk Racing. The Brisks would not have lasted that long, and since you say they aren't champions, then they are standard 2 piece plugs.

 

Well that is disappointing. I was afraid of that. Guess I better start buying gifts for my favorite after hours mechanic.

 

If the previous owner changed the plugs and applied the anti seize to them you really should have nothing to worry about. Good luck if he didn't though!

 

LMAO....plug boot

 

Chances are it's still the same plug. Also, the neverseize applied as per the tsb has been found to burn off during combustion so treat the sparkplug removal as if they have never been changed.
