GM Cars Love these Plugs
GM cars just love the ACDelco plugs. I've installed the more expensive spark plugs before but it did not run as good. If you have a GM Car - go with the ACDelco spark plugs and your car will run at it's best.

I bought these to replace the factory type CR43TS plugs for my suburban and they didn't last 100k miles by any means. They lasted about 30k and started having engine performance issues. Replaced these plugs back to a new set of CR43TS and engine immediately ran better. The stock plugs lasted longer and were 1/3 of the price

Wrong Plug!!!
Staff Reviewer -
Product was not faulty, plugs were new. Online part matching was incorrect! DON'T TRUST EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET! I went to the store after installation (plugs were in for 30 minutes throwing multiple cylinder misfire codes) and an employee was able to tell me double platinum is not recommended (despite the recommendation from the website) for my 05 2500HD. I needed Iridium. After a quick swap in store and re-install I was on my way with no issues. I would recommend calling into a store prior to purchasing to ensure you have the right plug. I have been doing tune ups for some time now (decades) and this is the first time I have experienced this. I would recommend ACDELCO to a friend as long as they are the right plug.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
this spark plug is the best
Staff Reviewer -
I work as a automotive tech I can honestly say these spark plugs are one of the best. I have had my set in my truck for about 60K miles and still going strong.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
ACDelco Plugs
Staff Reviewer -
These plugs are rated for 100,000 miles however in my 1999 Chevy Malibu I have had to replace them about every 50,000 miles to maintain peak performance. They are pre gapped and every one checked out perfect on gap right out of the box.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Great Plug
Staff Reviewer -
The gap on the plugs were suppose to be pre set at 0.60 but they were set at 0.40 I set the proper gap installed plugs, truck runs better than it has in years. I have 2004 Silverado 5.3 engine, 122,000 miles. The valves even quit taping. Have been using a differant brand. Just hope these hold up better to water than the brand I was using, because water killed them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
