If you're gonna replace them anyway why not choose a good wire over stock?
That way you stand less of a chance of crossfiring. In actuality though the
preference is to keep wires whose cylinders fire in sequence from being next
to each other. This doesn't happen with your V6 like it does with my V8.
In any case any spark leakage is not good. So give up a couple eggs a week
and get yourself a good set of wires!

Subject: DML: Upgraded plug wires

I`ve been thinking about my plug wires.I know there is a TSB out on V6
and V8 Daks and Rams with rerouting the wires and installing split
loom,er,excuse me,CONVOLUTE TUBING over them to prevent crossfire.This
TSB has been done to my truck already.My question is,why do they need to
do this with the wires? Isn`t it normal to run plug wires parallel to
each other,especially over the valve covers and in the clips? A good
quality plug wire is not gonna arc to the next wire,right? Is the TSB
just to eliminate problems with cheap wires? I would like to find a nice
set of six cheap,high quality,American-made Intense Blue plug wires! Not
asking for much,am I? :>) I would like wires that you don`t have to
separate or wrap with insulation to keep the spark actually IN the
wire,assuming that has been a problem with the stock ones. Thanks,Steve
