LOL I went to the auto parts store to get me some Champion Iridium spark plugs.. I was thinking $50'ish.. LOL to my surprise $8.95 a plug.. I still got them but it ended up being over $80 for 8 plugs... They are nice though
I bought the Champion Irdium truck plugs not for the better performance, but mainly for its longevity. Some plugs around the A/C area of the engine are a PITA to get access to. I am all into keeping a low maintenance profile. Some things, I rather leave them in there longer if made to go longer vs having to replace them often!
