Well, I installed the 3923 spark plugs today that everyone raves about can't say I'm impressed with them. Also changed the oil for the first time since I owned the truck, I have to say that is the dumbest f@#$ing place to put a drain plug!!! Right above the frame like that! They should have had it facing the front of the truck and it would have been perfect. Anyway we shall see if the plugs perform thought about putting the 5224's in instead. Anybody have any luck with these??

 

Yep, the oil drain is in a bad place, lol. I use NGK plugs and I love them for my application.

 

Does anybody make a drain plug with an on-off valve?

 

I just put the 5224's in my truck and I'm not impressed with them. The factory I had are champions and at 50,000 worn all the way down to the insulator WHOOPS. The 5224 did bring my gas millage back up but they just do not feel right in the truck after about 2000 miles. I am going to try the NGK plugs and side gap them.

 

Ive seen this "side gapping " in the forum before what exactly is it? And how do you do it?

 

They make oil drain kits, its basically a tube that relocates the drain location...

Mark the plug so you know where the tip of the electrode is, then find a washer or two so that when you seat the plug the electrode faces the intake side of the heads... basically a trial and error idea until you get it correct on the first plug. This is a common technique used on race engines to squeeze every ounce of efficiency out of the engine.

 

Yes. It was one of the first mods I did when I bought my truck. Now I just use a hose right into the drain pan.

Are you running the N-series? Did you order direct from the place in Buffalo,Ny and last, what do they run in price if ya dont mind saying?


Damn that thing sounds awesome! I would like to order one!

 

F106N

I bought it right off of their website, which I don't see the option for? Remember, this was in 2005 that I bought it.

Price? IIRC around $30 shipped. Well worth it to not burn myself or get any oil on my hands/the truck/ground.

Use a Ziplock bag for the oilfilter and you stay 100% clean.

 

Ok yeah then its the N-series with the nozzle tip. I am going to email the guy in Buffalo and see what the deal is. Hes the local "dealer" for the area. $30 bucks isnt to bad. I agree! The only messy part is the oil plug right now. I am all about making life easy!
