RE: Pretty good tune-up deal
I think I've decided...
From Jegs:
Skyjacker Steering Stabilizer
TCI Tranny Cooler
AEM Dryflow Filter (mine's a cheapo)
8mm Plug Wires
From NAPA:
Dist. Cap
Rotor Button
I nixed the MSD coil for now, but it will show up eventually. NAPA must give a sweet military discount, b/c the other day I went there and bought an oil filter, which rang up at a little over $10, but my total came to $6...I was shocked. So that would make my dist. cap and rotor very cheap.

RE: Pretty good tune-up deal
So, has anyone purchased the baby blue set from Summit?
I am going to give the truck a tune up this summer and I have some odds and ends in the Summit shopping cart, thought I would throw the set in there, but I thought it would be best to ask if anyone has gotten it and had problems with it.

RE: Pretty good tune-up deal
Anyone ever hear of Nology Spark plug cables? They are $317.73 plus tax but look at this spark across a gap that is .8 inches long on a nology wire and then on a toyota wire at 8 thousand RPM.

This website has documentation and is where these pictures are hosted for the testing of the cables.

This is the site for Nology and, at the top of the page, has a good clip of two wires performing at a very large gap of unknown size.

The cables that I think would work for the Rams would be part# (014 168 011) and are the type for the Dodge Durango built with the V8.
On top of the cables though, I think Nology says a Non-Resistor type plug works best with the cables. Nology sells Silver electrode plugs that fit the application, although copper non resistor type plus would suffice if found. However, Silver is supposed to be very good both thermaly and conductively over many other common electrode materials.
Want more evidence?

Silver
Pure silver is nearly white, lustrous, soft, very ductile, malleable, it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is not a chemically active metal, but it is attacked by nitric acid (forming the nitrate) and by hot concentrated sulfuric acid.
It has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals, but its greater cost has prevented it from being widely used for electrical purposes.
Pricey little suckers but if they do what they're supposed to, they may be worth it.

RE: Pretty good tune-up deal
I don't know what anyone thinks of "Jacobs Electronics" but I got one of these for about $83.00 and it's worked for over a year for me. Max voltage is better than many of the others around and the thing bolts right up to where the factory coil went. Just need a couple washers as spacers to clear the belt tensioner and some waterproof electrical connectors to splice into the old line. Silicone dielectric compound always helps as does a dark gray brick of some electrical isolator crap from Home Depot from the electrical section to keep the dirt, water, and debris out of the top of the coil.
