Q: but why would you want to do that the general opinion in the group is that they do little if anything as far as performance and cost a hell of a lot more. bullshit as usual. platinum plugs wear longer as the platinum is harder than the mild steel used in plugs. thus it cuts down on electrica erosion and keeps the gap more accurate over a longe period of time. a set of autolite platinum cost little more than normal plugs. a more accurate gap works better than worn electrodes thus not a performance gain but a performance edge over time. the goofy multi-electrode plugs are a waste of money but platinum is a solid maintenance saver. i call that a significant reason to spend a few extra bucks. http//www.babcox.com/editorial/cm/cm120032.htm -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. you can replace them with platinum plugs from just about any vendor without voiding the warranty providing that they are the correct heat range for the engine but why would you want to do that the general opinion in the group is that they do little if anything as far as performance and cost a hell of a lot more. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving almost time for replacing spark plugs. since their not platniums that came with the truck and not to void the factory warranty could i replace them with platinum plugs and if so which vendor would be the most beneficial any advice would very helpful. .

tom lawrence wrote are you sure about that pretty sure... a buddy and i spent the better part of the day troubleshooting his abs problem. he would get an abs light shortly after rolling. we disconnected each combination of two sensors leaving only one connected at a time to try and use the speedometer to detect a bad sensor. each time the abs lights would go out after the self-test but come back on when he started rolling because only one sensor was showing voltage pulses. now its possible that if a sensor failed in such a way as to short closed that would immediately trip the warning lights - i dont know we never shorted his connectors. is there a possibility for the connectors to the sensor to cause the problems .
