Hey Everyone
New to the forum but not new to Jeep. Im need some serious help please.

I have a 2008 JK and immediately after I purchased it (1.5 years ago) I had a jeep dealer install a new Banks Header exhaust system.

For the past 1.5 years all was great, nice sounds, great performance etc.......

All of a sudden in the past 4 months I have started burning threw spark plug wires. The first time was November 2009. I had 18K miles on it and my check engine light came on and I lost a cylinder. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the wires free of charge. 1500 miles later I blew the same #4 cylinder wire and the #6. I called Banks and they sent me out these high end sleeves to place over the wires. Went to the dealer they installed them and it looks great. 1500 miles later the #4 has blown again.

I called Banks again and Im waiting for a supervisor to help me out. They seem almost speechless.

I dont know what to do. In my opinion, Banks should stand up for their product and make it right. I kind of get the feeling they arent going to do that but I will reserve further comment until I hear back.

Any suggestions? This is my everyday driver and I cant afford to not have it running like a reliable automobile.

I truly appreciate anyone that could help me out as Im really not happy right now. This was an expensive upgrade and I want it right.

Thanks
Chris

 

are your plug wires running on your exhaust? or just close to it?

 

welcome to the forum!! this should prob be in modified section.

anyway u need to look at summit racing or another place for some spark plug boot insulators/protectors. high temp.
not a jeep but this is the idea. check out koolmat.com

 

I was already sent those sleeves by Banks and the header burnt straight threw. Any other suggestions? I cant believe IM the only guys with a banks exhaust that is having this problem?
Thanks
