They are still on the Van, and not a single misfire

The Beldens at NAPA are pretty good. I am running those with excellent results.

For wires, the Presolite/Autolite have worked super in my Ram Van over the years. I too had issues with plug wires until switching to these ...

DODGE RAM 2500 VAN 5.2L V8


http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1847046 $17.09

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1928366 $25.89

Funny thing is, Presolite and Autolite were owned by the same company at one time, became separated companies, and years later bought though other acquisitions, and together again. That is really odd. Interesting to note now, Honeywell sold everything to RANK Group. Fram, Autolite, Wells, AirTex, Holts, Prestone ... are all theirs. Seems that this LLC is cornering the retail aftermarket engine wear parts. All of the American names now under Austrailian ownership. (better than China) http://www.ucinc.com

Smart move on the cap being brass terminals. Make sure the rotor is the same.
