1999 Chevrolet Truck Repair Question
Mileage: 180,000 miles.
The is running extremely rough,something keeps causing the spark plugs to foul out instantly any ideas?
Answer
Start by taking it to an auto parts store and having them check the codes. They will normally do this for free.
I've learned that in the 99 Chevy Trk/Sub 5.7 only the AC Delco Spark plugs work. 5yrs ago I changed my spark plugs 3 times in the same month and it ate those spark plugs up. So i shelled out cash for the $8.99 each AC Delco's and problem was fixed. I still have the same spark plugs in my 99 Sub today. I clean them with a battery post wire terminal cleaner and there as good as new.

That's the wrong thing to do. It leaves metal tracks for spark to jump over. NEVER take a wire brush to a spark plug. You should never need to anyway if the engine is running correctly.
