2005 6.0 Tune Up...

[poppatello]

Can't find this info either. looking to tune up my engine that has 130k on it. I plan to get the.41-110 plugs and fuel filter. But what about the plug wires? Do you folks change them and what brand do you recommend other then OEM? Anything else I should do? Gonna clean the.throttle body aswell...

I used Bosch wires on mine. Definitely do recommend changing them, they do wear out in a sense. It's a good idea to antisieze the plugs and use dielectric grease. Torque to 14 lb•ft if I remember right.

 

It's a good idea to get some MAF sensor cleaner and clean it too. I don't know what all a tune up entails for you, but there's a lot you can do. Transmission filter change, differential oil change, replace coolant, check hoses, check wheel bearings, change/dress belts, etc.

I use the 41-110 plugs with Bosch wires. And hit on everything Danny said

Thanks, going to pick the stuff up today at NAPA...

Well, went to NAPA yesterday to get the items I needed for a tune up and was told that the fuel filter was in the tank. So needless to say I didn't get one. Some fuel filters are part of the fuel pump but I didn't ask.

 

Question is; has anyone replaced a fuel filter as a PM???

I think you just change the pump.

Anything newer than 03 has no external fuel filter so you swap out the pump. If its got good pressure leave it be.

03 and newer trucks dont have a fuel filter?! Good to know, now I won't bother my dad so much about changing it on his 06.

 

Altough I don't like the idea of not using fuel and cabin air filters, among other things.

Geez I've changed mine so many times I can't imagine not having one

Except for Flex-fuel vehicles. They continued with the external filter for a short time
