Another 80,000 km down and it's time to change the plugs! Good ol champion coppers gotta love how dodges like the cheap ones lol. Anyways guys my question is this...a lot of guys change there wires as well around this mileage but being a 06 with MDS I don't have wires I have a seperate coil box for each cylinder. Are these worth swapping out too? They go for about 20$ each for OEM replacements so it's around the same cost as doing wires, I'm just wondering if they are really worth it? Thanks

Can's comment on the coil wires but the hemi runs better with copper plugs. Don't waste your time buying iridium or platinum plugs as they wont last as long as the coppers.

I like to butter up the ends of the coil packs with dielectric grease before putting them back on the plugs.
It helps making the seal so moisture and humidity to interfere with the operation, but also helps maintain the rubber boots flexible and prevents cracking. If one of the boots are cracked, you can swap only the boots and not have to replace the whole coil.
