Important

Thats what i thought. Im thinking it just means how much porcelain is sticking out past the metal part of the plug.
 
Swap springs side to side or add a leaf to that pack. My RE 3.5 are doing that now, going to put a stock long leaf in and see what happens.
 
Exactly right.

I've... Had one... Since I started driving.


It's a Va jeep. No debilitating rust to speak of.

Think swapping the leafs and springs from side to side May help?

I think it has to do with engine torque. Just a constant on and off making the body roll a little more that direction.
Swapping sides will probably help.

If they stick out too far the could possible touch a piston. Which is bad.

The length it sticks out is also related to the heat range of the plug but I can't remember exactly how.

Never thought of that. The plugs i have at home are .12" of insulator projection. The ones that are suppose to be in the zj are .2" of insulator projection. So the ones i have at home are .08" shorter than the ones in the jeep. Hate to see new plugs go to waste.
 
4.0's run the best on the cheapest plugs you can find. You're having heartache over 12 bucks worth of sparkplugs.

My 4.0s have always ran best on Champion copper truck plugs.

It's the 5.2. But still...

I *think* I ran Autolite standard plugs in my 5.2. Whatever Advance said was OEM in the Autolite line.

Edit: FWIW the PO of the black Chevy I had played with different heat range plugs and it ran terrible until I put OE spec back in.

I run champs in mine. The cheap ones.

I stick with OE plugs. My Ranger got Motorcrafts. My jeep gets Champs and the Envoy gets ACs.

You couldn't give me a set of Bosch plugs.

I can't get truck plugs anywhere around me but the parts jockey told my the regular coppers are about the same thing and that's what I used in my 4.0.

The magnum motors get autolite 3923s gapped to .045
