From : raminator96

Q: its been a while since i had a chance to read any discussions in this group and ill apologize from the start if this starts something that it wasnt meant to start i have a 96 ram cc 2wd with the 5.9l. usually i go and have a tune up peformed which usually costs about $60.00 ubt recently i changed my cap rotors and wires and if i could do that job myself then changing the plugs should be no problem as well before i go out and by just something from pep boys or auto zone i wanted to see what others have tried and the results they had. i heard a radio commercial about some new high efficient plug from autolite and wondered if anyone tried it or someother non-stock type and how it worked thanks for all the comments chris 96 ram cc 2wd with 5.9l and all the trimmings .

i use the same. my 3.9 pinged all the time. they used a common plug between the 5.2 and 3.9 and the v6 developed the pig more because of the increased heat produced on a v6. did a few forum searching and found out the common problem is the heat range is a bit too high on the plug. went the auto light one range cooler and that solved the problem all together. this was posted here back in 2001. i use them and have no complaints or pinging. its hard to beat autolite 3924 plugs 3923 if you have pinging for the dodge 5.2l and 5.9l engines. they perform better than many of the very expensive plugs. and.... you can get em at wallyworld for very cheap except the 3923 plugs you might have to go to napa to get those. beekeep on 29 apr 2006 045355 -0700 raminator96 chrisd@mindless.com wrote its been a while since i had a chance to read any discussions in this group and ill apologize from the start if this starts something that it wasnt meant to start i have a 96 ram cc 2wd with the 5.9l. usually i go and have a tune up peformed which usually costs about $60.00 ubt recently i changed my cap rotors and wires and if i could do that job myself then changing the plugs should be no problem as well before i go out and by just something from pep boys or auto zone i wanted to see what others have tried and the results they had. i heard a radio commercial about some new high efficient plug from autolite and wondered if anyone tried it or someother non-stock type and how it worked thanks for all the comments chris 96 ram cc 2wd with 5.9l and all the trimmings .
