do you have the factory owners manual? it lists everything in there that needs to be done. if not, ill go find mine outside and list it for ya. The actual tuneup is plugs, air filter, oil change. But belts and other stuff might be recommended at 100k from dodge, i dont remember. i still got 25K to go lol.

stock champions or NGKs. dont buy expensive ones, it wont run right and you will take them out. besides they call to be changed every 30,000 so stockers seem to be the preferred around here.

the funny thing is they have never been changed so I better see a huge improvement in fuel economy then haha. What model NGK would work best since i can get a deal on ngk from a mx race team.

are there any mpg increases with those plugs or any power increases since my stock plugs now are getting horrible gas mileage around 9-13mpg.
