What spark plugs do you prefer?
 
I need to go out and get some plug and wires for my truck and a fuel filter. I was wondering what you guys get? I always got bosch but hear alot of bad things. So what is your favorite? What kind should i get? Looking to get a few responses before i leave to get em after work.

MOTORCRAFT plugs and fuel filter, spark plug wires you could get from Wayne or buy motorcraft.

Never had any luck with them. As far as I am concerned they are a gimmick and useless.

i had them for a while in my old truck, and they did ok for me but ive heard some bad things.. id get motorcraft plugs, and whatever on wires... as long as its not the cheapest brand

stick with motorcraft/autolite plugs in our trucks... the bosch ones didnt work well when i used them in my 92 with the 2.3... as far as the wires i think its best to stick with stock or get some good quality 8MM ones from summit

Autolite Double Platinum. And JBA Wires. Motorcraft Fuel Filter. If you can't find those, go with all Motorcraft.

PW01 10-02-2006 12:05 PM

Motorcraft plugs, and I've been thinking of trying a WIX fuel filter

i agree! Motorcraft plugs and fuel filter, wires from Wayne or Jusnes or if you dont want to wait or can't wait then get Motorcraft.......DONT INSTALL THE NEW PLUGS WITHOUT NEW WIRES!

fletch12518 10-02-2006 12:30 PM

fletch12518 10-03-2006 11:42 AM

badluck13 10-03-2006 12:07 PM

MOTORCRAFT....I see alot of driving/running issues in our shop when other than MOTORCRAFT plugs are installed in Ford products.

Motorcraft plugs FTW!

jtrulz2005 10-03-2006 02:29 PM

hey dont use any kind of bosch plugs in any ford they fire much hotter as most people know but with fords coils it will fry them. i highly recommend using motorcraft, or autolite only in a ford

What ever my mechanic uses! Unless it is a trans mounted 4 cylinder, i don't touch it, I hate getting the plugs out of most cars with cramped engines.

You never changed them in your LII I take it? lol

BRENSRANGER 10-03-2006 05:01 PM

cant go wrong with motorcraft

lxtasy 10-03-2006 07:36 PM

Autolites Ftw!

Nope! IT only had 40K when I sold it, they are supposed to be 100K plugs. I have changed them on my Caddy and my first 2.9 Ranger, but I hate doing plugs in most cars. I have huge CLumsy mitts for hands. I'll probably do them in my new I6 GMC, but I could sit in the engine bay and do them, there is so much room!

I never run a platinum plug. I always run a cooper plug. The bosch 4's and splitfire style SUCK in my comparision.
