bit pricey but found those old truck plugs :P https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Set-of-...1/142551218918

apparently the v10 used a 3 step colder plug vs the 6/8 cylinder engines too. I don't think I'd spend a whole lot either, I could have gotten mine cheaper online but even for all 8 at autozone it was only about 16-17 bucks for my ac delco coppers
"Champion Truck Plugs P/N 4071
Many Ram owners have reported they were pleased with a change to this plug.
The main differences between the Truck Plug 4071 and the stock RC12YC seems to
be that the new center electrode metal rod is longer, and the insulator is
black color instead of white. (Resistor inside 85,000 ohms) It is possible
that the extra 10,000 ohms of resistance retards spark firing a little bit,
and may account for why some report that this plug reduced pinging on their
Ram."

on a little bit of a side note now that we mention coils, has anybody tried the MSD coil for these trucks and did they help with power any? I'm unsure of the age of my old looking coil and figured a new one surely couldn't hurt. There are some cheap dinky ones for sale online, couldn't find an actual mopar one...at about 40ish bucks new on amazon the MSD seemed like a good deal. I wouldn't wanna go with some unknown one and end up stranded. Some claimed the MSD coil alone made their vehicles run alot better than before.
