Save your money and get cheap copper cores. Work just as well if not better.

Put the extra money towards gas lol

More expensive does NOT mean better performing.

Our trucks run better with copper plugs. The plugs with the more exotic metals in them don`t seem to perform all that well in our engines.


A good set of copper plugs, a distributor cap with brass terminals, a good rotor, and a good quality set of plug wires, and that's the best you can get and your truck should be happy.

I use Autolite platinum plugs, a distributor cap with brass terminals, a brass tabbed rotor and Taylor 8mm plug wires. 5.9 magnum engine runs like a Swiss watch.

+1 for copper core plugs.

Check the gap on the new plugs before installing them.
