I have a 2004  Silverado 1500 Z71 with the VIN T code 5.3L.  I'm coming up on 100K miles and I need to do plugs and wires.  The manual says  "12571164**/41–985*" (**GM part number/*ACDelco® part number) but I am having a bitch of a time finding them.

RockAuto and every other parts site is saying ACDelco 41-962 Professional Platinum Spark Plug and searches for 41–985 come up empty.

I found a couple of other forums with old posts saying ACDelco 41-110 Professional Iridium Spark Plug was a replacement for the 41–985 but all of the parts stores say some variation on "The part you selected DOES NOT FIT your vehicle"

 

I found that I need "ACDELCO 9748GG 9.2 in Professional For Coils Stamped 19005218; with 9.2" Leads" as I have the round coils and not the square.

That wasn’t the question.

 

The 41-985 has a very low availablility and at twice the price on Amazon.

As for what plug to use, they often "update" the part numbers. 

 

Any time I'm replacing Chevy plugs, I call the dealer parts department and ask when the newest spark plug number is. They always say the same thing: 

 

   "ALL of the previous part numbers are rated as 100K mile plugs, and the latest plug/part number is not any better than the old part numbers/plugs."

12571164/41-985 are long gone p/ns.  Iridium plug. 

 

GM now specs a platinum plug, 19299585/41-962. 

 

If you want to use iridium and can find them, the newest # for the iridiums is 12680072/41-110.  Take note, the iridium plug is national backorder from GM. 

 

Wires.  Round coils are 19351571/748GG for the OEM ACDelco wire set (OE wire), or 9748GG for the ACDelco Professional set.

+2 that 41-985 has been replaced by 41-110.

 

I always prefer GM OE over ACDelco Professional when available.

Amazon has 8 packs of the  "41-110 OEM Gm 12621258 Professional Iridium Spark Plug" for $38 but the "ACDelco 41-962 Professional Platinum Spark Plug" 8 Pack is $48.  They are both "Fulfilled by Amazon".  Compared to RockAuto that is a good price on the Iridium and a crappy price on the platinum.

If you buy AC Delcos I believe there is a rebate on the Ac Delco site.

I got 8 stock AC Delcos for $24 with the rebate.

yeah, $3 each for iridium and $2 each for the double platinum  It would cover RockAuto's shipping.  I'm really looking at the ones on Amazon as possibly being fakes.  One of the reviews for one of the sellers said so explicitly

So I ended up with ACDelco 9748GG plug wires from Amazon and the ACDelco 41-110 plugs from Advance Auto Parts after I found a 25% code that made them cheaper than RockAuto with 2 day shipping (just barely)

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
