Default Replaced plugs - 109,000 miles on them

Finally got around to my plugs and wires .. I have a few vehicles and the maint. on the truck has always gotten the back burner because it's not a daily driver.. But I did the plugs and wires for the first time in it's life!

109,000 miles on the original plugs and wires dated 2004 on my 05 slt 4x4 hemi.

nice grey brown color. serious gap on them.. but I was still getting 16 mpg and no issues at all. Only reason I forced myself to do them was because I plan on going from Florida to Michigan and back, then to California and back to Florida again all in the next month.

I can get pics of the plugs if interested. I'm just happy that I could get to them lol..

Some NGK coppers took the place of the Champions that were in there. maybe these will get me to 200,000

"By the book", every 30K. My C's plugs weren't too bad at 49K. The plugs on the Ram were pretty much gone at 86K.
