2005 Durango Upgrades!
I have just started to upgrade my 2005 Durango.
It is the 4.7L v8. (Wish it was a hemi haha)
These are the upgrades i have made already:
1)K&N Intake
2)Jet Performance Chip Stage 2
3)180 Degree Thermostat
4)Exhaust Tip (Temp. Until I buy the Cat-back)
5)New Grill
6)Painted Brake Calibers Red
7)And some little things such as License plate frame ect
I Was wondering if anyone knows a website that sells SPARK PLUG WIRES for my truck.
I cant seem to find them. Also if anyone has any ideas on what i should do that creates more hp or even looks that would be great!
Thanks, Anthony

Just curious about any mileage gains with the K&N Intake ...
I also have a 4.7 in my '05 ST and have swapped out air filters for a K&N becuase it still has about 4 months of 3/36K factory warrany on it and I didn't want to screw that up.

RE: 2005 Durango Upgrades!
Since I haven't looked at it, I could be wrong. I think there are no spark plug wires for your 4.7L engine. I got this from http://dodgeram.org/tech/gas/Cammer/4_7_v8.html
There are two interesting electronics-related details worth noting. First, this engine has coil-on-plug ignition. No plug wires, a separate ignition coil mounts to each plug. This something all us guys with headers and toasted plug wires can really appreciate.
Even wilder is the absence of a throttle cable - it's fly by wire, dudes. All you're doing when you mash the 'gas' is sending a signal to the computer, which will, hopefully, respond faster than "All ahead full....aye, aye, captain."
Hope this helps
