Someone said a spark plug change in a hemi called for every 50,000 miles is about $500 for the 16 plugs.
Not true. The manual says 100K - Not sure about the 16 plugs or $500 at the dealership. I'm going to guess at least half of that is BS as well.
I changed the plugs in my 5.7L Hemi in my driveway using regular Champion plugs in just over an hour. But my Cummins Rams cost $500 per oil change and that $300 air filter was killer on the wallet.;)
Thanks for the info on the plugs I was just passing on what an owner told me. Not sure why he would b.s. to the high side most gas engine owners have $0 maintenance costs ;). Shop rates are high here as techs are paid well.
Note to other readers - don't pay $800 for an oil change and air filter in a Dodge/Ram with a Cummins. I change my oil in my little shop in about 20-30 minutes. Fleetguard air filter $16.00; Fleetguard oil filter $15.00; 12 quarts oil $4 to $10 depending on your oil preference $120.00.
