Heres a link: Do It Yourself (top questions and answers) FAQ's


Stop by the auto parts store and buy 8 Champion Regular Copper spark plugs Cheapo $2 plugs (this is OEM). Get a new rear axle Speed Sensor and take both of them to a shop and have them install it. That way you get the right parts installed and all you pay is the labor.

The plugs in the Durango now are platinum. In ten years I think I only had it tuned twice. So it's had three sets of plugs its whole life, 2 of which were platinum. I always bought into the idea that it made a difference in performance and that the platinums lasted longer. Thoughts?

LOL ya you will get plenty of thoughts on platinum plugs being used on a Magnum engine, DON'T DO IT... They simply do not work well at all. You would want to use OEM Champion plugs.

Check out the DIY section and read threw post on the subject.

Some people have had luck with Platinums in the 4.7L motor only but not great luck to say the least. Everyone I talk to pulls them out and replaces them with great results. In fact I don't remember ANYONE that didn't love the results.

Also remember this:
Don't put a Japanese plug into an American made motor!


Get those POS plugs out of that motor! ......IMHO!


You ONLY want Champion regular Copper plugs (OEM) $2 each, Champion Truck plugs $2.70 each, Champion Iridium plugs $8.99 each, also some people like the Autolite 3923's $2 each in the 5.2L and 5.9L. I do not encourage their use. Read through this thread: Longevity & Power Of Your Rig!

Like I said, "take the parts to your shop and have them install them".
