The gap for spark plugs in a 1996 Chevy Suburban depends on the engine. There were several engine options available that year. You
must consult your owner's manual to find the correct gap specification for your specific engine. The manual will list the recommended gap size.
Failing that, check the sticker under the hood (sometimes near the radiator support) or contact a local auto parts store with your VIN for accurate information. Attempting to use the wrong gap can damage your engine.
