I'm thinking about changing the spark plugs in my GMC.
Like Ken, I have had a set of Bosch plugs in it for longer than I can
remember.

Does anyone know anything about or have you tried the Bosch Platinum +4 ?

I currently have Bosch in the 403 but they are a base plug. Do you suggest
I go with the +4's or replace with the already proven to be good, current
plugs?
Previously I was going to use E3-52's but never got around to ordering
them...the +4's are on sale today only....

Suggestions please
Thanks

Mike in NS

I thought Dick recommended AC Rapidfire #7 plugs. Have those become unobtanium?

The #7 plug as it was offered from AC is no longer available and
hasn't been for almost 2 years. There is a #7 plug available but it
is is a totally different plug. The original #7 plug was good for 100K.

Here is a list of plug that can be used in the coach and has been
available for a while. Might need to be updated.

Anyone know the current recommendation for the Onan? The Parts Interchange doesn’t cover the Onans.
