Holy spark plugs!

Bryan22 · 02-03-2009, 08:36 PM

So i decided to get these bosch plug out and go with some motocraft plugs in my little 2.3l. Let me just say ford is really proud of their $h1t! 88 dollars and change for 8 plugs.

I replaced eight plugs in a guys 05 mustang the other day and the plugs were 27 dollars EACH and the new F150 runs the same plug

So $11 bucks a plug. Sounds about right if they are double plats or Irdium. I forgot how much the Bosch plats were for mine.

dusto2 · 02-03-2009, 08:56 PM

wow motorcrafts are just autolites, and double plats are around $6 a plug and iridiums are around $8, wow that was alot to pay

You guys spend that much! I get the Autolite Platnum 2's or what ever for like 2$ a pop.

i think they are iridium(SP) but i didn't pay that much, my dad works at a big company who gets parts for their small trucks through ford. Still at his price it was 57 dollars. which isn't as bad as 88 but still i can't beleive how much for gets for their stuff.

That's nuts!

I know the NGK Iriduim spark plug for my KLX is $12 and needs to be changed every 7500~15000miles. Thank goodness its only 1 cylinder and 1 spark plug, so I don't mind spending the extra for a better spark.

Bryan22 · 02-03-2009, 10:11 PM

ya, my 98 ktm 125 has some kind of odd plug. instead of a normal plug like br8es or something like that, mines just an NGK 8. 21 dollars a plug. like you said tho, only one cylinder, so it's not all that bad.

Wow I just got Motorcraft Double Plats at autozone for $5/each this weekend. That sounds like they bent you over and legally raped you!

BeaterMan · 02-03-2009, 10:25 PM
