Wat to go Gamble good buy. I'm recovering from a you know what so the other day I started to tune up my Chevy...one plug at a time per day if necessary! It took a couple ojf days but she runs like freakin new. It has 150k and evidently the previous owner never put in plugs. I used a freakin' impact to get the easy ones out and a breaker bar for da others LOL

You're being more productive than I am.. good on ya. I've got 172k on the Dodge. I change the plugs, flush the cooling system and trans every 100k. Still runs like new. I hear ya Rocket... my Ex went through 4 new cars in our time together. I was supposed to get a new truck when she came back from deployment. Instead she got a new ex husband and I get an 07 Ram

I change em at 100k... they still looked good and weren't setting off codes. I run full syn with the good filter and change oil every 10k. No oil leaks to speak of.
