Does anyone knowbwhere I can find the spark plug gap size for my 2001 2500 ram? Or would anyone know what it is? I have a slight miss fire when I go 40mph and I want to do the rune up asap.

I gapped mine at .040, and they went into my 360. Not sure if v10 would be different.

I used the Bosch platinum 4's in my 98 Ram, I know lots of ppl will say these plugs aren't made for domestic V8's, but my truck seems to love them. Always runs great with these, and they have a special design that is pre gapped from the factory.

Is there anything else I would need besides plugs and wire to do a conplete tune up? If there's anything else what brads do you suggest? It was cold as **** this week and its supposed to be in the 40s this weekend so I was procrastinating and figure I might as well do a conplete one since I'm waiting anyway.

Get a brass terminal cap and rotor. I used Accel, personally, and Bosch wires.

Make sure you have some sandpaper on hand for the shaft in the distributor to sand off any rust that might keep the rotor from slipping right on.



Ask me how I know.....
