Oh hey it’s me again. The guy who burns his hands trying to change light bulbs.
I am not a handy person but I want to become more handy and I am looking for an easy win.
To get right too it I have 2004 Tahoe 5.3 flex fuel with 122k in the clock. I bought it at 92k in October 2018. I got no maintenance records with it so it’s safe to assume the plugs have probably never been changed. The engine runs beautifully but as above I’m looking to bolster my crappy mechanical skills. Is this something that you would consider doing to “future proof” your engine even if to you they don’t seem to “need” changed?
What if any benefit would I reap from changing the plugs and wires? Any benefit in putting higher quality parts back in? What plugs and wires would you use?
Any words of wisdom? I’ve watched a few videos and one particularly on that last plug on the passenger side being a *****.
thanks!
