Tahoe Tune-up..
 
What do you experts recommend for plugs, plug wires and air filter for a 2001 Tahoe, 5.3l...I can't remember the last time I changed the plugs or wires [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] ...seems like they are due. Besides, at $4.00 per gallon [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] I don't want to waste any.

Thanks..wilma

I'm still rocking the stockers on my wife's 2000 GMC Yukon 5.3 and sh has 90k on it now. Delco or Wix filters have been my preference.

I changed the plugs stock plugs and wires with Champion OE equals and Autozone house brand wires in my 8100 at 100k and now have 70k on them. Not really what I wanted at the time, but I don't seem to have any problems. Milage did not change from when they were new till now.

I would be surprized if plugs and filters really got you any more MPG on these newer motors. Yeah K&amp;N maybe, but with the dusty environments I get in a regular type filter is easy enough to keep changing as required.

You should be telling us what works man! Notice anything the truck seemed to like?

If the OEM products lasted that long, I think I would personally replace with OEM. JMO &amp; I'm a GM favorite.
