bosch is workin good for me
I personally only used Bosch Platinums in all three of my Grand Cherokees with the 4.0 I6 and both Wranglers with the same engine. They gave great performance and 1.5-2 mpg's better than the stock plugs in every one of them. Tried them in my current Grand Cherokee Overland with the 4.7 H.O. and they perform well there too (not the same gains as in the 4.0, but no problems.

Horsey,
Me thinks you need to make a trip to "sunny Fla." to visit me and my neighbor down the street. You could even put my KRC 210 in while you are here. Might be a beer or two in it for ya'...

I used the Bosh Platinum in our 04 2500 and loved them so much I took them out before I traded it in. It is worth it to me NOT to have to change them every 30k. I also heard the problems are with the double and quad platinums not the single regular looking plugs. Get yourself a piece of hose to fit over the ceramic to make the back ones easier to install. I actually sat in the engine comp with feet down by the PSpump to do the drivers side. You WILL need a swivel.

I can change mine at the track between runs, about20 minutes, and dont use the swivel socket. Where are you guys using a swivel? which plug?
