Had to replace the plugs wires on the Mustang and only 100,000 miles. If this kind of stuff keeps happening. I'll have to start driving one of those what ya call it's ? Hmmmm ? A Chevy I think it's called ?

Ha! Plugs and wires... I wish that was the only thing I had to replace. Thats not even worth swearing about. Try your tranny! Then get pissed and say u wanna buy a chevy.

j/k welcome to the kind of life you live w/ a mustang. It isn't the cars fault, it's ussually the lack of care from the owner or previous owner. They just need a little fixin and some TLC. Good Luck.

I sure hope your just bullshittin. Plugs and wires @ 100,000 miles is very normal. I put them on mine @ 80k.

Memphis is right. Your gonna bitch about having to replace your plug wires at 100k. Id consider yourself lucky. I have had friends who drive chevy's and they've had to replace their water pump at 60k.

plugs and wires are actually recommended to be switched at around 75 thou so no worries man .... what u actually have is a lack of problems lol

u have to pull the water pump just to replace the distributor on the LT1 Z28's

it's a pretty good idea to replace ur plugs and wires every 75k.......mine haave around 69 on them and there pretty shot

Damn those LT1's are a bitch to do a tune up on. The distributor itself is nothing more than a pickup really, and its nearly $400. And yeah ya do have to take the water pump off, I would rather do 50 tune ups on even a 5.4 3v in an expedition than I had 1 tune up on an LT1.

Its all just general maintence that you have to do. If you spend money here and there and take care of you car, it will take care of you. But that means you have to properly service you vehicle when its needed!
