240k miles, time for replacements?

x2

 

Definitely x2. Try coupon code "DodgeTalk" (I try to avoid the D word on here). It worked for me awhile ago. Don't know if it still works. Supposed to save you 10%.

 

I have found these guys to be cheaper then the one posted up already

I got the NGK premiums from sparkplugs.com and they have been fantastic.

 

Toyotapartsales.com

go factory. Much better than most aftermarket junk

 

X2 for sure

 

the website I posted sells oem parts aswell as the NGK performance ones

 

for the wires sparkplug.com is cheaper but for the spark plugs autohaus is cheaper.

that is for denso and NGK on both sites

 

how are the factory ones so much better than aftermarket? they seem to be cheaper... $26 for an EOM Denso set on sparkplugs.com

 

Denso is not OEM for Toyota spark plug wires.

They are built much better. The quality is far superior to any aftermarket brand. My knowledge comes from experience, but i dont have the actual resistance numbers.

 

Stock motor, buy a decent brand at your local with a lifetime replacement. Wires don't make a noticable hp gain. I only use high end brand name wires if I am running an aftermarket ignition system such as MSD or Mallory. Normal wires work fine with wimpy little, low voltage stock ignitions. It's when you upgrade ignition that you would want better wires.

 

I didn't want to start a new thread about this as it might be a repost. For those who opted for the OEM plug wires, how much did you guys pay for them? My local Toyota stearlership wanted $120 for a set of plug wires!! The NGK premium wire set looks pretty good at a fraction of the cost of the OEM plug wires. The only thing is that aftermarket wires are not as sturdy as OEM wires. My past experience with the aftermarket ones weren't good as they tend to fall apart much easier especially when you try to disconnect the wires from the spark plugs. The OEM plug wires are much stronger than that. And yes, I did pull from the boot instead of pulling from the cable. Has anyone had this issue with aftermarket plug wires?

 

^ ngk=oem.

 

NKG is not OEM.

Sumitomo (sp?) is OEM.

 

I think he ment NGK was just as good as OEM.

 

I hope not, because i have a set of those NGK plug wires in my 2000 and they are crap. Build quality is junk.

 

stick with NGK plugs

 

Not sure what wires you bought but NGK blue wires have been identical to OEM on two different cars I've owned. Build quality was identical.
If you search around at any other Japanese make/model forum, you'll hear the same thing over and over...they equal OEM. I wouldn't be surprised if Sumitomo actually makes them.
