the best luck with in the 4.7? No problems right now, except a little rough idle. 24k on the original plugs and they are starting to show some wear. Good color though.

Thanks

Well i haev used the bosch platnium +4's with bad
results in the 4.7L...i suggest to stay away from
those but some people have had better results. I
have also used autolite 5224's with good results
but after 5k miles or so i seemed to get a rougher
idle back. I am currently using splitfire plugs.
NOw most say that these are garbage but i have to
disagree. I have gotten better gas mileage and
power out of these compared to all the others i
have tried. Almost every time that i pull out, if
i want to squeel the tires i can, on level ground
and i haven't done much as for performance
upgrade...just an exhaust and K&N filter with a
little mod that i did. But i think this all comes
down to previous experince and prefernce for what
plug you want and what application it will be used
for. Hope this helps some.

I've had the Bosch Platinum +4s for in for 10K miles. Much better than stock plugs, NEVER a problem, glitch, or hickup in performance.

(I chose these based on the advice of MANY people
on this forum who race their trucks and tweek
them on a regular basis )

I had the Bosch +4's in but pulled them because of issues brought up about the new coil over plug design and potential failures. I use the 3923's and have not had a problem with them.

Does anyone think its bad to keep changing to different plugs. I want to find the best one for my truck (4.7) I had the originals they were fine and now I have the 3923 and I guess they are ok. I feel I lost some power over the long haul. I have them in for around 10,000 and its time to change. I want to try the 5224's. Any suggestions?

Hog Head - I was looking at the Iridiums, as they sound pretty awesome, but I was worried that the 4.7 would not like them.

I know that the manual recommends copper core plugs for the 4.7. Are you running them now, and in what engine?

Thanks!!

COPPER CORE PLUGS
IP: Logged

Message:
Why do so many folks think that the BOSCH plugs are NOT copper-core? LETS NOT FORGET THAT BOSCH INVENTED THE SPARK PLUG!!

Virtually all BOSCH, NGK and ND(NipponDenso) paparkplugs are copper-core.

It is only the Champion, AC, and autolite that seem to use the "copper core" claim as being special in some way. (but their "regular" sparkplugs are less than a $1 each because they are so cheep [no copper at all] )

Here are some links to the Iridiums;
