spark plug updated and Q's
 
My truck FX4 2004.

After i read this scary story about spark plugs...so at approx 18,000 ( in 2005) i checked the plugs- a little yikes and got it all out w/ no problem and re-cleaned it and put it in.

At 43,000, replaced all plugs with no problem. Didnt add anti nickels. only torque lbs 35 each plugs.

I checked the plugs again at 61,100 yesterday, the plug sheild area look better 75% than at 18,000, only little rust color on it i used cloth to wipe it and put it in...

Now my question, should i either re-check, clean or replace it again in May/June 2010 ??

Thanks!
YOMAN!

I'd replace them. They're getting pretty old now. I'd say 60,000 or so is all I'd go with these plugs.

Oh, gotcha. You're having good luck with them by taking them out so early, and keeping the electrode shields clean. :)
