Yeah, BMW is the only car that I hear that Bosch plugs work good in them. Purpl and the POS-10 both ran like crap on Bosch plugs, changed them out to the factory plugs (AC-Delcos for S-10; Champions for Purpl) and they run great. All of the mowers, tractors, and weedeaters that I use and work on hate Bosch plugs, they run great on Champions. Have not tried NGKs, but I am going to this season. The Ram will also get the NGK treatment when I change the plenum gasket.

BTW this the guide I always go by when buying plugs, its based on what they put in at the factory:

Chevy/GM - AC-Delco
Ford - Autolite or Motorcraft
Mopar - Champion
Toyota - NGK and Denso
Honda - NGK
...And Boschs go in the garbage!

I assembled a list from Rock Auto and Hughes Engines of the things needed for my new plenum gasket and timing chain. $345. A smorgasboard of DIYs is to come in the months ahead! Plus Harland Sharps from John Mercedes.
bosch +4 plugs work better in my engine than champion truck plugs, ngk v-powers and champion double platinums.

Did you try the factory Champion RC12LC4 spark plugs? They work great!

Took another look at my cracked dash. Loaded up my motocross bike so I can go to the track tomorrow and take out all my anger at Dodge on the dirt.
