What else besides plugs? 30k service

Burla · Dec 31, 2016

On a tune-up at 30k, distr cap and wires? Too early for that? Guys using non electr grease when putting in the plugs?

I'll be **** a ton a sht with it (all fluids), but specifically I'm looking at the engine. Any suspension things I should consider, weak spots?

i would just follow the service sched in the owners manual.

also, hoses seem to last forever now, but i would check them over along with your serp belt. give a tug on your pulleys and make sure there isnt any wobble.

Mines almost at 30,000. Plugs, trans, front and rear diff fluids are due at 30k I believe.

These are the dealer services we recommend at 30k 4x4 service, fuel system service, tune up. The fuel system service consists of, a cleaner additive to put in the fuel tank, a throttle body cleaner, and an injector cleaner we put in a pneumatic pump and hook it to the fuel rails, makes your engine run perfectly. 4x4 service is just flushing out the front and rear diffs and the T-case.

Anyone know how long the dist caps are lasting on these things? It lives outside but not very humid, not a lot of driving in the rain either.

They are Coil packs on these new trucks no Distributor. My truck has 60k Km on it never tought the plugs, wires or coil packs

Thanks man, first Hemi.

tcazes · Jan 1, 2017

Yeah you should have all coil packs by the 4th Gen. I just did all of mine. 2 hrs and 20 min with an included new years lunch involved. Not near as bad as I was expecting. The air suspension makes it nice to be able to lower the truck to a more reasonable height lol

Did you unhook the battery first? How many miles on those?

tcazes · Jan 1, 2017

Did not unhook the battery. 57253 miles. Runs noticeably smoother and way better throttle response. I'll be doing it every 35k. I was very happy with the mopar plugs pre gap. Very consistent. The notebook picture is oriented as the top being closest to the firewall. I have closeups of the plugs too

Burla · Jan 1, 2017

Thanks for posting that up, to be honest I am under 20k on the truck, but I'm 6 years in. Have the plugs and the gap tool, so I will do the same. I run a fuel cleaner that has lubrication oil, so I really want to check the plugs and see if there are any cylinders with gunk that others don't have. When I pull the plugs I will have 8 paper cups labeled so I don't mix them up. I'm gonna likely just get a cheap boroscope, so I doubt it will have capability to video.

Are those plugs 57k miles? How old is the truck?

Try one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EQNCMTY/ and use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vaultmicro.camerafi
Cheap set-up for inspecting inside of bores, intakes, pipes, etc.

truck is a 2013 laramie longhorn 2wd with no previous records of service so i can only assume they are the oe plugs therefore with 57k miles on them. im anxious to run a couple logs and see how they look.

Burla · Jan 1, 2017

I have andr 5.0.1 for a phone, mac air book, chrome book, fire tab, and a windows I stupidly upgraded from vista or xp, I can't stand the new windows, what a load of ****. I don't know how to use chrome fer ****, I don't now if any of those borescopes will work with what I got. I would prefer using any o the laptops or tablets.
