This is a rant.........

Okay, Im OVER protective and cautious and do soooooooo muchhhhhhhh preventive maintenance on my Motorhome its ridiculous. I DO NOT wanna be broke down way up in the mountains of Colorado or Utah, we go to Florida this winter then out to Californian next summer, lots of upcoming miles so Im gettin her ready. Heck I grease it twice a year and every few weeks crawl under it to wipe any grease off the zerks or any oil spots etc etc., its clean as a pin underneath. Change oil every 3000 and use Mobil 1 and Lucas Stabilizer.......Radiator anti rust and super cool wetting agent in the radiator,,,,,,,,tranny power flushed with aux cooler,,,,,, Has all new belts n hoses and a ton of other stuff that wasnt bad, but I just sleep better with new stuff lol

Sooooooo it (1995 454 Chevy) runs PERFECT but I get to thinkin cuz all my mechanic buddys tell me so HEY ITS TIME TO CHANGE THOSE OLD ORIGINAL 16 YEAR OLD PLUG WIRES.

Soooooooo its a heck of a job with gettin that shroud off and NO room between frame and where the plugs are IT WAS A REAL BEAR TO CHANGE WIRES

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT (as I suspected but did it anyway) I CAN TELL NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER IN ITS PERFORMANCE AFTER ALL THAT WORK GRRRRRRRRRR

Will somebody please tell me a body really ought to change plug wires if 16 years old (even if running perfect) as good preventive maintenance so I will feel better LOL LOL

Take care yall, I fell better already after venting even if it was a total waste grrrrrrrrr

Ol John T and all
