Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Found similar but the iridiums that I got were gapped at 40 or 45. I just went with what they were

How do you like those? What's the mileage those are good to? 100k?

Have any recommendations on a plug Mark?

Amazon...
Only thing with Amazon--might get a knockoff.

I had to copy and paste this review.

COMPLETE GARBAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020
Purchased these plugs for a road trip on July 4th weekend. Had to change these plugs before Halloween. "More TRICK than TREAT." The center core electrode melted away in my set. I contacted AC Delco and they said it was upto the seller to honor any kind of a warranty. There is none listed for the product and the seller name is not listed either.
For the $48 I would anticipate they last a year (maybe more?) and come with some kind of warranty. Buy these and you will get neither. In a side by side comparison, these are the "Cheap Chinese Knockoff". NOT worth the money charged here. NOT actual AC Delco brand either. Go to your local parts store and buy the real thing. You will save $7, a little frustration and a lot of time. "Chuck Yeager would not be happy."
BUT--I just noticed this reviewer gave 10 reviews, but 7 are only 1 star. Is he just miserable lol?

Just get the ACDelco copper- R44LTSM is what RA shows for $1.34 each. Shouldn’t be much more at your local auto parts store. Actually they’re $2.79 each at my local Oreilly’s.

AC Delco and get them locally, when I had the Esky I bought some AC Delco plug wires off Amazon they were fake ended up sending them back and buying them local, if it’s sold by Amazon and not a 3rd party your usually good tho

Or those platinums- that’s a good price.
Edit-pay attention to what @95escahoe just said too.
And edit again- those are obviously knockoffs, be aware

I run these double platinums, Tony. Rock Auto has them for under $5 each. Just buy from a reputable retailer.

EDIT: Mark's and Brett's suggestions are good, too.

And back to the plugs get the AC Delco platinum plugs, that is what I used on the Esky and it ran mint

He was saying he couldn’t afford good plugs, that’s why I was steering him to coppers just to get by. But yes, ACDelco platinum or double platinum or iridiums are the best way to go.
