I serviced the jeep today. Changed the plugs and flushed the t-case again. I figured I'd post pics of the plugs after 67K miles on them.

I'll say the butt dyno tells me the jeep has more get up and go after the new plugs.

Mine looked very similar after changing them at 50k , they were even a bit darker & the gap was out to 60 thou. The Jeep deffinetly runs stronger with the new plugs & I even got better mileage on a recent road trip.

I'll be taking a 1400 mile trip shortly so I'll see about the mileage if it improves at all.

It never went up much, maybe 1 or 2 mpg on the hi-way. I did gap them to 40 thou, as that was what I found on a few threads.

What do you gap them on a stock motor with a JB tune?

 

[Mongoose9400]

I had the dealer do the service for convenience. So I don't know. I assume mine are gaped to factory specs and I run a Johan tune.

Gap should be beteween .045 - .050 if running stock IIRC.

I was just looking on wkjeeps and it's saying 0.040" for the 6.1

.040 are for FI setup IIRC. The OEM gap is .050.

You are using Never-Sieze when you do plug changes, right? I didn't notice any on the plugs. Nothing worse than having the threads sieze and pull out of the head......

Just my 2 cents..........

Now wait a minute here Zac, you do all your suspension mods yourself & take it to the dealer to change the plugs? What's up with that? Someones getting lazy enjoying their time off huh. LOL

Haha, I was planning on doing them myself but it's pretty cold and snowy here right now. Plus from the move my tool box is sort a buried in the trailer. So I let them do the work. Plus, I was gonna have them do the t-case anyways.
