Im at almost 100k miles in the Silverado. I changed the plugs today. How do these look to yall? Seems like you can tell which ones got deactivated with the AFM system. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/eGSUWUa.jpg)

AFM? Anti-Ford Motor? Always Fishing on Monday? A Fine Motorboat? (not talking about one on water)

I put a can of sea foam through the throttle body before I changed them. Fogged it out pretty good. Put about 6 Oz in the crankcase oil and the rest in the gas tank. Took about a 20 mile drive and getting 3-4mpg better already. I was averaging 14 hey and 11 in town. Back to 17-18 hwy after the new plugs. Going to let it work through the engine oil for a few days then change the oil.

About what you'd expect from a healthy engine nowdays. In the old days of leaded gas and $1.25 each plugs, you'd need to change them almost every year. Modern generation fuels burn cleaner with very minimal deposits, and modern plug electrodes don't burn up as fast.
Enough of this idle chit-chat. This ain't no retirement home. EVERYONE! Get back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.

Theyre facing opposite directions, so they may have the other number stamped on the opposite side.
