how many miles are these plugs good for?

It is my understanding that they are good for 100,000 miles as long as there is no internal issues that would "cruddy" them up. My 2000 Camry has 212,000 miles and this is my second set of plugs.

From what I've seen, it should be good for about 25-30,000 miles. No sure yet as Iv'e only used it for about 3500 ,miles so far.

We know of an RV Company using them in the motor homes due to plugs being too close to the floor, not sure if it's harmful to the units or not...but the units are still working without any issues.

Realistically anything past a quarter of one mile will be luck. Using them in a desert/lake environment (some small tress and hills) that is the best they could do. Even in a clear line of sight we never achieved much more than the 1/4 miles without distortion.

These work on the Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies and are limited to .5 watts output power. One mile range is probably GREATLY exaggerated. I'd guess you might be able to get 1/3 - 1/2 mile, line-of-sight, under the BEST circumstances.

They are for street use and they cross reference to the standard platinum plugs. You can check on Autolite's web site.

I have had mine for a year and they are still good. probably 20k miles so far so good.

Battery life is about as good as the kind of batteries you use (Duracell, Energizer, etc.). They use three (3) double-A batteries, each, so you'll need a total of six (6). Buy and use good batteries, and you should have great life as these units don't consume much power when in use. They DO NOT work 16 miles, as advertised...more like a few blocks, and that's it.

I do not remember. However you can purchase such plugs at any auto parts store. might take about 10 minutes. The cost less than $5.00.

Not really. Maybe check and make sure they didn't mix up a couple wires that go to your coils. Or if your coils are around 50 to 100k miles old ten they may be going bad

I have the last years modle. They work fine for charging even on the go in the car. Not as fast but enough to get by. My son ran it for hours on a road trip with it plugged in. It still took a charge. The cords are not very robust but have not failed me yet.

The rule of thumb here is...if your gonna change plugs,..do the wires also.Especially if they haven't been changed in awhile...:-)

I just bought my second set. Got 50,000 miles on the first set, and they still have tread, the UV was starting to break down the sidewalls enough that they were leaking air.

I have 3 inline on one plug outdoors and they work fine. If you are worried about waterproofing silicone or electrical tape the connectors.

In my experience, it depends on quite a few things. Atmospheric conditions, large bldgs/towers/hills, etc. can have a detrimental effect on antenna effectiveness. Also make sure to mount as high as possible on your vehicle. With perfect conditions (flat land, no towers, obstructions, etc., high mount, decent cb radio, good weather) these antennas will work for miles. I've never thought to measure how far but I'd think at least 2-3 miles.
