    ORIGINAL Iridium Plugs at 223,000 Miles

    At about 100,000 miles I was thinking of replacing plugs in my 2014 5.7 Hemi, so I removed both from cylinder #2 (because it was easiest to reach) for inspection. They still looked brand-new, so I put them back in and stopped worrying about plugs. At 223,000 miles, I’m getting a recurring...
