Default New plug time....

So I need to replace the plugs on my 05 V6.....any ideas on a good plug to use? I'm running the K&N 66 series, so I need a little colder plug than stock....

thanks in advance

New plugs already for an 05? How many miles do you have on it?

Go with Autolite standard 3923. Colder than stock. Be sure you know what your'e doing, as each plug is capped with it's own dedicated ignition coil.

i just replaced my plugs on my 05 4.7 sunday. 25000 and the electrodes were almost gone. went with the autolitre ap5224 platinum.
seems to run smoother at idle. cant say i have a improvement in mileage yet. but the performance is still the same as was with the factory champions

Changed mine out at 19K. I used the Champion Truck plug 4071. It is just a little better than OEM and has a larger copper core. I have almost 1K on the new plugs. I think the engine runs smoother, just my opinion. Use some air to blow out dirt around the plugs before removal and change the plugs out on a cold engine, also make sure to put alittle anti-seize compound on the plug threads would be my best recommendation.
