Gary I just sold my 2016 sierra had the 5.3 GM motor, probably same as your Silverado? Mine had 130,000 and original plugs, ran like a top and was an awesome truck.
Maint schedule didn’t show a change due on plugs and it went in religiously for oil changes and other services.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Tacoma, every 30k miles. Copper … oil maybe … but spark plugs ? Lol Yep, that what it calls for and when I changed them the first time, the electrodes were rounded considerably. Copper plugs wear out much faster, but have the best concuctivity. Its a 2nd gen, 2013....not sure what the 3rd gen tacomas call for. They might use platinum plugs which last much longer..?

We go 30 on regular plugs in our 2012 jeep also Midlander.
There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

I just had the plugs and serpentine belt changed in my Tundra at 277,000 miles. First time. I notice no difference in performance. How many miles on the Tacoma by now Boss? Last time I heard it was 800k maybe?

Last time I heard it was 800k maybe? Only 723,000+ miles now. Since I didn't renew my timber company contract, my driving has slowed down drastically.

As an aside, my vortec was running a little rough when starting it and had me wondering if it was plugs or something. My mechanic buddy cleaned out the throttle body and completely cured the problem. Took maybe 10 minutes.

I have a 2016 Silverado with a 5.3 engine. I take mine in for an oil change every 10,000 miles. My mechanic said 150,000 miles on the plugs.
My doctor suggested I start doing squats, so I moved all the beer to the bottom shelf of my fridge.

Most plugs can go to 100,000
Mine needed them change than, had a couple burned down pretty good.
Them platinum plugs are amazing.

2015 Silverado. Changed them once and they still looked new. What is recommended these days? 2009 Silverado 5.3 Just turned 190K this week. Still the original plugs.

Thanks Mister …. Too much electronic crap on them now for me..bunch of stuff in the cab I’ll never use … bought it thinking till death do us part but I just can’t see it lasting without something short circuiting and screwing everything up lol … my oldest boys getting the 2013 if he keeps his nose clean… might even make him change the plugs at 300,000
