Just wanted to know of those of you that have changed out their plugs have you replaced them with the Iridium type as what is original or gone to the standard type plug.If you have switched to another type have you noticed any change in performance?

Thanks,

Are you saying that the Iridium type is standard? if so, I'm impressed. They lasted over 90,000 miles in my GMC Yukon with a 350 in it.

No what I meant as standard was the regular type spark plug,I refered to the Iridium as the original or plug that was in the engine when I purchased the vehicle from dealer.Sorry if I made this more confusing then intended.

Have not seen a post of anyone changing plugs. On a positive note, even standard plugs last forever now days with lead-free gas unless you wet the plugs because of an engine problem. Will be very interested in what you do and if you are having problems with your factory plugs. Good luck!

No problems,I just decided to pull the plugs to take a look at them and to be honest that was the first time i had seem an Iridium plug(guess i gotta get out more) and was surprised.I then checked with the Part,Pieces folder Kinarfi has and saw that they are listed as replacents from NGK.Not being familier with them is why I was asking.

      UT400 First Oil Change Overfull Milk Chocolate What to Check
      By Homeowner A
      Picked up an essentially new 2022 UT400 with 9 miles on it.  Decided to change the oil because it's probably never been done.  Pulled the dipstick and noticed it was overfull then went and pulled the drain plug and took off the filter and it was like brown water running out.  What should I start checking?

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Differential Breathers - Bellow vs standard breather on Toyota Axle
      By Travis M
      Just purchased a T-Boss 760 and before putting any miles on it I'm going over all the fluids, grease and problem areas that I've read about online because I know the factory quality control is garbage. 
      I've seen where everyone seems to have leaking axle seals after 2-300 miles on the T-Boss 550 and 760. I think I'm going to switch from the bellow-style diff breather to the automotive style diff breather that they use on my Tacoma and various other vehicles. I'll still keep it extended and infact run it even higher, probably into the air intake box, but I'm hoping this is what's causing the axle seal leak issue on these vehicles.  
      I'll do the modification and report back every couple hundred miles and let you know. I currently only have 8 miles, so it will be a few months before I find out if mine leaks like everyone elses.

      Now that I have done the LI-Ion batt conversion, I need to do something about the suspension
      By Kingfish
      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      Seriously considering buying 2022 Axis 700 from Lowes… any regrets from current owners?
      By REDfletching
      Spent today at a Honda dealership looking at their 520 side by side, then on the way home past our Lowes noticed they had several new UTVs on site, so we U-turned and ducked in there. We were impressed that all that came for $9,999 metal whole length skid plate, nice sized bed, roof, windshield, side mirrors, winch, upgrade looking tires… all of which would have added thousands of dollars to an already expensive Honda 520. Now Honda does have a great reputation from my trusted UTV experienced buddy, so it has that going for it.
