It's probably well past time that I change the plugs in my 2002 Ram 1500 with the 4.7L engine. Truck has about 64K miles. So what plug do you recommend using and any tips to follow when changing the plugs.

 

use the stock champions, the part # is on the hood on passenger side..

get a swivel socket

oh and the idiots at the auto store will say they dont list copper plugs for your truck and that plats are better, just tell him hes an idiot and for him to get you what you asked for

 

clean your throttle body while youve got the plenum off as well..

search for how to do that..

 

i went with NGK coppers, but as stated from ramit, get coppers!

 

how come you shouldn't put plat plugs on there? does that go for hemi too?

 

because i said so...
a dodge ramis like a dirty hooker, it doesnt need much to get the job done, anything fancy may confuse it, never show it respect and bang it up as much as you want.....

 

i got plats and i'll never go back to anything else. i love theese things!!!
thats my opinion

 

Typically the Hemi does not like a cooler plug, which is what Platinum are. I can not speak for the 4.7 though.

And not all part store people are like that. When I went in for mine is was closing time, they were dead. The girl behind the counter helped me and when I told her I wanted Champ coppers she said was I sure, I said yes, and why and the guy behind the counter kept nodding his head.

 

Go with E3's,, you will pick up a couple miles to the gallon and add horsepwer as well.. proved it on the dyno.. That is what worked for me.. A little pricey but at these etrosious gas prices, well worth it.. Just my 2 cents worth...

 

the Plats are cooler? did you get that backwards, or am I confused?
