tun up question
my truck has 62K miles on it and i am pretty sure it has never had a tune up. at what point should a tun up be performed? and what brand shuff should i go with. i know some trucks do better with certain brand plugs, i was just wondering if the dodge performed better with a certain name brand plug and so forth. thanks

It wouldnt be a bad idea to do it at this point , But you can always pull 1 plug and check its condition to see if u really need a tune up. As for plugs , What the manufacter recommends is ussaly best IMO (only for plugs thats is ) Im running Bosch Irdium Fussions in mine , and Im not 100% convinced on the $15 a plug i spent on them. Champion or NGK`s For me next time around. Be sure to do wire`s and Cap at the same time. Id go with some Mopar 8mm spark plug wires if you got a None stock Coil.
Thats just my .02cents and im sure everyones got their opinions , But thats how I do it, hope it helps

I personally replace my plugs pretty often (about every 15k miles, or once a year or so). For as cheap as good copper plugs are, it is definitely worth replacing them often in my opinion. This ensures you always have a good plug, correct gap, and you know a lot better what the condition of all 8 cylinders is.

Sorry, but I would highly recommend against taking this approach toward maintenance. Your plugs are a tell all story about what is going on inside your cylinders. Relying on only one to determine if you need to do maintenance means your only getting 1/8'th of the story. You should pull all the plugs and inspect each for oil, burn, gap, etc... Don't rely on just one plug, you could be missing a much bigger issue.
