Did I go wrong with an 8 pack of Delco 41-110 for my 05 5.3 beast??? I'm not familiar with all the different acronyms for these engines.

Hi all, I’m trying to find out the AC Delco part number for irridium spark plugs for my LQ4. Shopping on Amazon is a headache sometimes when it says it’s not the correct one for my vehicle. Also, should I be going with iridium or platinum or?
I'm glad that people are finally getting the hint about buying off of Scamazon..

DEFINITELY DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON DUE TO CHINESE KNOCK-OFFS THEY PEDDLE.

I’ll say it every time I hear this- Amazon is no worse than any other online site. You need to realize 60% of what’s on there is 3rd party sellers and they make up most of the problems. It’s no different than EBay in that regard. Read the reviews on a particular item, don’t buy from the 3rd party sellers and you’ll be fine. I have been buying tons of stuff from them for many years, had one or two problems and it was because I didn’t look, just quickly bought things. And they refunded me on both of them, no questions asked. They have excellent customer service unlike EBay where you have to deal with the seller directly. Amazon will refund you even if it’s a 3rd party that sold you the junk. They kick thousands of sellers off every year but it’s hard to keep up I’m sure. Rant over.

Not sure why you insist on keeping this a secret, Mark. ;)

This is definitely good to know! I have purchased a number of items from Amazon and have had no issue. I’ve seen the 3rd party ads and now that you’ve said something about it, they don’t take a lot of research to look like they’re selling knock off goods. Thanks for the info!

Just look at who you’re buying from. The seller is listed- it will say “sold by” and if it’s not Amazon I look at the reviews and know I’m taking more of a chance. Fulfilled by Amazon isn’t the same as sold by Amazon- that just means the seller uses Amazon’s warehouse and shipping to peddle their goods. Amazon will still refund your purchase from third-party sellers though- I just got a full refund for a replacement cover for my Abba Patio carport that I bought last winter through a third party on there. There were no other of these available anywhere else at the time. It ripped after 6 months and I think it was counterfeit. I called Amazon because the seller didn’t offer warranty coverage and they refunded my purchase immediately.
