As for the plugs...yup, you're right.
Get a modified TB, headers, and a good cat-back system and you'll be VERY
happy with the 3.9. :)

Subject: DML: So,is my 3.9 a "true" Hemi?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Actually I think it does have at least one spark plug
down somewhere near the combustion chamber,so it has to be a Hemi.I
finally bought my 3923s! WAAHOOO! This brings my mod total to 3. K&N
drop-in filter,Mobil 1 Tri-synthetic,and now the Autolite plugs.Someone
stop me,I`m outta control here! Truck kinda urinates me off when it runs
like sick 4 banger,but that`s O.K.,I love my truck.I drove it a couple
hundred miles today over some fairly steep hills.It started "sagging"
bad for a while there,even to the point where my wife said,"Why is it
running like crap?"You can actually feel it in the body of the truck
when it starts bogging out,like a jerk or pulsation.I stopped at a
service station for refreshments,and the truck ran pretty good after
getting back on the road.Then it started running GREAT.It took every
hill in OD with no loss of power at all,at 65 mph.That`s when I REALLY
love the truck! I had it to the dealer a couple weeks ago for severe
pinging,and for the power loss problem,and they replaced either the
belly pan gasket or intake manifold gasket,which JUST ABOUT took care of
the pinging.Prolly 90% of it! But oh,my flippin` heck(thanks,Jason),what
am I gonna do about this gosh-darn hesitation?Anyways,I wanted to ask a
question here if anyone has stayed awake to this point.The 3923s,O.K.?
What the flippin` heck is up with that crazy washer they put in the box?
One side of the washer has a larger diameter than the other side.Am I
correct in assuming that the big side goes against the plug base and the
other side goes toward the engine? Talk at me here ppl.Thanx!
