2016 Z51 spark plug wires replacement
OK almost at the recommended mileage for plugs and wires (97,500).
First has any done this? How hard is it?
Searched YouTube and found so called instructional vids that were basically useless. I hate such vids that state "just" in any form in their presentation. If I knew how to "just" I wouldn't need instruction.
One did recommend zero resistance wires from Granatelli. Ya think aftermarket wires are worth it?
If you have experience in this let me know.
Thanks

I’m sure hundreds of members on this Forum have changed plugs and wires…if you are not familiar ANY shop can do this for you.

Driver side is not bad , passenger side sucks ... , you have to remove the fuse box , which should be easy right ... but the nut that holds on the 12 volt feed to the fuse box/starter sometimes fuses itself to the stud , this stud is mounted on a flimsy plastic mount that will break if you are not careful ruining the fuse box
I usually hit it with PB Blaster a few times and use a 1/4 inch drive and a 13 mm to slowly remove it while I hold the mount in place with pair of vise grips . Some guys have no problem and others are like me , almost everytime it was stuck . Take your time , dont force it..
As far as wires , dont buy into the marketing ... the OEM wires are the best ...
Good Luck
