are these guys real toyo techs or am i the idiot?

[toyota_rod]

so i go to get some new plugs from toyota here in morgan city and i ask them why is there ngk on one side and denso on the other and these guys say "huh, must have been the previous owner that did that"...did they come with 2 types of plugs from the factory?

 

[Eraser]

Yup, if you search around on the forums you will find that the 1GR comes with 2 different types of spark plugs... Why you ask? They have two contracts.

 

[toyota_rod]

i just thought it was funny when i asked the tech at the yota dealership if i should put the 2 types back in and he didnt know wtf i was talking about and neither did the manager! i just put all denso back in...i felt like a dumbass

 

[Scarface]

Why would you feel like a dumbass?

 

[toyota_rod]

cuz i had 2 guys that work at the dealership telling me that they didnt come stock like that..sombody else must have put 2 different brand plugs in..i know for sure ill be taking my truck out of town from now on!

 

[rich017]

Believe me, they know what comes in those trucks. They just didn't want to sit there and explain why they come from the factory like that.

To a technician, a customer is a customer and we don't like talking to them. lol

 

[hottacoX]

Your not a dumb ass it came factory like that and it's fine to put all denso's back in, I did! Like stated above your dealer was probably too lazy to try and explain

 

[Sproulesxrunner]

I never knew that... Learn something new everday:rock:

 

[08x]

ya it is hard to explain to customers alot of them just dont understand stuff but its just the way the heads are on the assembly line is why one side has ngk one has denso i no its werid but its normal

 

[Oklahoman06RR]

Wow! I've been a tech for Toyota for almost 3 years and have not been told nor noticed that they came like that. lol. I've even changed the plugs on my X and didn't notice. Hmmm interesting.

 

[HOTROD-X]

come from the factory with the denso on one side and ngk on the other side

 

[toyota_rod]

thanks guys...i changed mine out yesterday..passenger side was a breeze, driver side you gotta move some hoses and a bracket out of the way and have plenty of extensions taped together so you dont lose your socket!

Thats OK 4 out of 4 different stealerships I've been to in the DFW area have all told me they no longer make or sell the Xrunner. 2 told me they hadn't since 2009. LMAO

You should tell them thanks and that you plan to go out of town to buy your 2011 X-Runner. :smile:

 

[Murderface]

did anyone find out the real reason why they put Densos on one side and NGK's on the other? Mine was like that also

 

[gunner76137]

I was told that the reason why was because toyota owns stock in both companys so to be fair they use
3 of each. I just changed mine out at 92,000 and it still had the factory 1's in it. I replaced them with the denso iridiums.

 

[x20Runner05]

It is common like everyone said above that its 2 contracts with the suppliers. At work we always put the NGK back in there.
