Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Those are NOT original spark plugs installed on the assembly line! Looking at the condition, your engine has issues.

Looks like a perfectly good set of used high mileage spark plugs to me.

No issues. Those used plugs look completely NORMAL. Rough, but normal. Note #2 burned electrode and gap.

Since gaps are out, you should notice smoother running with the new set. Also, gap them, do not trust the out-of-the-box gap.

Didn't have any issues prior to changing the plugs, but WOW after they were changed. Idle was a little lower quieter. Everything so much smoother. It really fires up now. Funny, all the pedal pressure has changed. Good call on measuring. Ill do that on my next H2. New exhaust comes in a few weeks. This vehicle gets getting better each month.
