If it were me .. I'd run some NGK TR55's. They are good plugs. Stay away from Bosch and Champion. Champions are good for a Dodge and small engines, nothing else really. Bosch is just a good name and an easy sell.

If you want some good plugs that will last forever go with some ACDelco 41-985's, I think that's the number anyways.

BTW, I sell parts for a living, so trust me on the Bosch thing at least. I can't tell you how many problems I've seen corrected by replacing Bosch plugs. I won't even get on the Bosch +4's. That's the biggest gimmick in a spark plug there.

BTW ... NGK makes most of the Delco plugs, except for one odd ball that's used in a Cadi Catera, they are made by Bosch.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with the whole range of Bosch products....Their spark plugs and wires have sucked for me in the past, their wiper blades suck, their oil filters suck, their compartment air filters suck, their fuel filters suck, what else am I missing? ****, I hate Bosch so much! I've been cheated out of my money time and time again, but I'm finally fed up with it! Stay away from BOSCH if you value your money!!!!

I agree with the above info, Bosh stuff is Great marketing, bad product. I've never had a problem with NGK, AC Delco, Denso, or even Autolite. The only good results that I've had with Champion is in Chrysler products or lawn mowers lol. FWIW, I've heard good things about, cough, cough, Motorcraft.

For my ride, it's NGK

i sell parts also and i cant tell you how many problems we see frim bosh parts

the +4 is prolly the best marketing deal for the worst product ever, right next to the splitfire plugs from the 90's

i will say for ngk tho i had thier iridium tr-55ix's in my truck and had the WORST problem with the tips commung unscrewed i finally swapped them out for some AC rapidfires (that was before i was a parts guy or knew that AC dosent make a single thing themselves just like motorcraft)
