Re: Questions on 30,000 mile service
So seven thousand miles of miss firing would be about a hundred
thousand in wear and tear? I guess you were obvious to the fact that
Chrysler/***** haven't upped there voltage, even with your individual
coils. they're still firing at fifties voltage.

Spark plug replacement is in the FSM at 30K. So is drain/refill
transmission and transfer case. And check the serpentine, which
is pretty cheap to replace rather than mess with.
Pick up a Factory Service Manual from www.techauthority.com. Great
investment.

Bill, have you ever even felt a 6-cyl engine misfire? If you had, you would
know that mine is not.
