My plugs will be here Tuesday from Moe's. Time for her first 30K plug change. Going NGK V-Powers this time.

Not sure that you can buy just a boot for it. Call Dodge on Monday, sure they will know

the local advanced auto can order them, min order 8, $6 a piece. bought the coil pack for $35, so it didn't make sense.

I have a new pack to replace the bad one, i just have to get it out. Otherwise, that cyl. May not get done. Ever!
snap off the top of the plug its easier

I know this is an old thread but if you take a screwdriver and snap off the upper ceramic of the plug the boot will come out with it
