Those look like different heat ranges - are you sure it's the right number?

Yes, the new ones are NGK factory spec., old ones champions.

Wow, they look a bit different. Wonder if that makes it run differently between the two different brands. Been thinking of going back to the original equipment one, too.

The Champions were in it when I bought it last year - ill have to dig one out of the trash can and check the specs on it. I would have probably bought champions but no one had them in stock today and I wanted to get them changed before this next cold front comes through.

Well sad to say today sucked. On the way back to school after my grandfather's memorial service my wheel locked up, causing my tire to skid and blowout. So I'm Jeepless in the coming snowstorm

Gageraid, Your OME lift, did you install that or is there someone local you went? I've been thinking about doing an install this winter

Alec, I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather and your Jeep. I know you'll get the KJ back up and running soon. I remember you changed out a hub recently. Was it the other side that locked up?

The jeep is all good now turns out that the caliper bracket fell off and destroyed the rim. The tire was fine so I used the spare tire rim and put the old tire back on so now I'm looking at getting a full set of cragar dwindows

And thanks for your concern

Old ones were 3344 champion platinum which are listed for the 3.7 v6, hoping the copper core ngk perform a little better.

Awesome glad its running good for you!
I was just following advice that Tom & others gave on LOST to stick with the stock copper cores or their equivalent.

It was running great before, but thought it would be a better idea to run original equipment. They sure do look a lot better than the plugs I had in there before.
Going skiing on Tuesday which means a nice road trip. Now let's see if I can change the oil real quick and add the Mopar oil filter I picked up. :goink:
