60,000 miles

BlackedOutHemi · May 11, 2011

Just hit 60,000 today, and was wondering if there were any tune ups that needed to be done soon or now.

Kinda off topic: Gas mileage has dropped terribly. I'm down to 9.6MPG. Dropped .3 driving 10 miles today. Nothing has changed. And used to keep 11-12. Maybe related to something running out of life?

Plugs , TB clean , oil , diff fluids ect ....

Plugs are recommended every 30k on a hemi ... replace with OEM champion copper plugs as the hemi runs like crap on the titanium. Clean or change your air filter and you should be back on the normal MPG'S

But it sounds like you are in need of a plug change . And dont forget to do a hard re set when done .

Sounds good. Thanks. Where would be the best place to get the spark plugs? Seems like there's a DIY for everything else.

Any auto place ... 1.50 a plug and you will need 16

If they hand you anything other than a set of Champion 570's, don't pay for them. Like Dave said, it'll run like ass with anything else

Will do! Thanks. Hopefully those things will fix the gas mileage.

oh I would put money on your plugs being bad . Replace them and hard re set and clean that TB ... back to stock MPG'S

BlackedOutHemi · May 11, 2011

Hope so. I'll update with what happens when it's all done.

Is there any noticeable difference or gains on doing the wires too?

You will not notice anything with wires. The plug wires only control spark for the secondary plugs. The primary plugs are run off the coil packs. The primary plugs are used for the combustion cycle, the secondary plugs fire a hair later for post burn of anything left over from the combustion, this is for emissions.
