Replaced plugs tonight. Found a killer deal.

Mine calls for the silver-tipped plugs. Spent $65 on the last set at CarQuest, found this set on eBay for much less.

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Maleficio, 99% of us run Copper Plugs since there were no benefits of running Silvers.

Here is my Thread. I too go schooled on which ones were correct and recommended, but a very knowledgeable source chimed in a threw down some facts.

Bosch Copper WR7DC for 4.7 and WR8DC for the 4.5

Changin' Spark Plugs

Use Bosch part # 7900=WR7DC
The WR8DC may be too hot of a plug

I once tried out copper plugs. AC Delco, I think. The car felt anemic. Put in the silvers, car came to life. Granted, they weren't the real Bosch plugs.

Bosch Coppers. No need to experiment with other Brands.

Rock auto has good sales from time to time, so I bought a few sets of Bosch from 5 to 8, and plan to go to the coldest practical plug once I have the AFR pretty tight.
