Default Iridium spark plugs - which brand

Hi,

I just bought an 05 Dakota V8 Magnum Quad Cab and the spark plugs need to be replaced. I read the posts about Iridium spark plugs which gives them a good review and thus I am looking to buy a set. What I would like to know is which brand does each member here recommend as the best factoring in price?

Thanks,

Last week I replaced my Autolite 3923's with NGK Iridium XI. I have been very happy with these plugs. Work much better in the HO.

Thanks guys. I have found Denso Spark plugs on a few Canadian websites for about the same price as NGKs. I will let you know how the Densos are when I get them.

Check out sparkplugs.com It gives the numbers of plug and gap for the HO and non HO engines. Check the vin # on truck I think 7th or 8th # to get the N or J code of engine.

N or J specifies whether it is the HO model or not, I just can't remember which is which...
