I was surfin' the net for prices on plug wires, but when I was on autozone.com; it said that Dakota's don't need plug wires...Is this true? I am a little over 50,000 miles and want to do the regular maintanence on the truck; that its due.

 

i cant imagine how that could be true. i changed mine every time i do my tune up. if your doing the tune up, change the plug wires too.

 

do you have a 4.7L? Then this is why.

 

well that depends, now im not sure but i hav heard that the 4.7l 8s have coils instead ofwires but other than that i would say deginetly your truck should need new wires

 

4.7Ls have coils, and do not use spark plug wires. They just use normal (16 or 18 gauge?) copper wiring. I'm not good with telling gauge sizes. After all..I have a 4.7L

 

As Rakaric said the 4.7 has a coil at every plug,and there are no plug wires. As far as I know this is the only Dakota motor like that. Just make sure you look up the rite motor when getting parts. And hope you never have to do an oil pump, this damb motor is a pain in the ***! I could be wrong, but thats just my opinion!

 

Yes; I do have the 4.7 v-8.
