Tune-up: plug,cap,wire recommedations

[jasonw]

$130??? No way. Its a pain with the cold I suppose, but you can do it. If you've never done it before, it literally takes just a few hours, at absolute most. Took me about three my first time because I was extra careful and slow about which wire went where. For the wires, I would buy some low-resistance units, but thats up to you. I elected for Autolite Professionals because, even though they weren't 8mm, they were the best wires I could find locally. Take your time, go inside and warm up, come back out, do some of the work, go back inside, warm up, come back out, repeat. My two cents. I wouldn't pay someone that much to do it, it isn't near as challenging as it seems.

I also get wiring for a digital overhead console. That will be my next big project.

Oh yeah, I'm done with the Damn 'Screanin POS-10'.

I'd stick with champion spark plugs, thats what dodge recommends. autolights work good in fords. I had autolights and it ****ed my engine up somethin fierce.

You goin off topic or somthin?

Since I installed 3923's a few weeks ago, I'd like to know how the Autolites F'd up your motor?

[talon6]

me too. my autolites work fine. sounds like installer error or something. and i am not debating if they are the best or not. im just saying sounds fishy.

[PurplDodge]

I've also get 3923's with no problems.

I also have the 3923 plugs in my truck and havent had an issue out of them yet. Now that school has started up I have racked almost 15,000 miles on those plugs. No issues so far
