I think that I saw somewhere that they said 70,000 mile recommended service is plug change...? My 2011 has 73,000 miles (give or take) and runs just fine, plenty of power, good mileage, no issues at all. When should I consider changing plugs? Then, when I'm due, how hard is this? Simple as any, or tricks/special tools needed? What spark plugs are you replacing the factory ones with? Looking for suggestions on this issue. Thank you!

The 2013 and up Ram's come from the factory with platinum plugs that are supposed to last until 100k. 2014 Ram 1500 Pentastar V6 1966 Fury II 4 door

OK, thank you! Any advice on replacement plugs? Would upgrading to platinum allow me to go 100,000 til the next set? Thanks!

Once its loose, ratchet off, extension out, magnet on the socket, and/or plug. I have changed the plugs on my '03 at 30K, then 70K. Both times I thought the plugs looked great and it was kind of a waste.

I put same champs back in runs perfect guess I'm do to do it again any day now. :-( Last edited by Dodgem; 03/22/15 05:25 PM.
