dodge says the on the hemis u shouldnt use anything besides coppers cause they will missfire, not all dodges just the hemis. and the only thing tht i could think is that u gaped it wrong.

its a 40 gap, not 44.
lift up your hood and you'll see that stamped on the left side of the hood.

Remember when you ask for help from the guys at autozones etc, these are the same guys that ask for engine size when youre wanting to buy wiper blades or head lights.

no prob marty

Derrick- I posted this on another plug post, but a dodge ram is like a cheap hooker, dont buy it anything fancy cause itll only confuse it, but if you buy it the bare essentials and rough it up every once in a while itll run great.

And is that 2 or 4 wheel drive... with or without A/C... regular or quad cab?
