About to service the Grand for the first time and wondered what Plugs you consider to be best suited to the 4.0

Get the Genuine ones from Chrysler. They're cheap as chips, (about £1.75 each) last about 30000 miles and work just fine.

splitfires are good for high performance turbo's like cozzies ect but wasted on the jeep truck engine.

my old xj had a flat spot while running on lpg .. stuck a set of Bosch plattys in with Magnecor leads .. worked wonders, no more flat spot and gave the old girl a whole new lease of life :)
