Default Spark Plugs

I'm trying to decide between the BOSCH Platinum +4 and the BOSCH Platinum-Iridium Fusion. Any suggestions?

What are the BOSCH part numbers for our application? I popped into AutoZone today and they guy at the counter said it wasn't showing that plug for my truck!

Even www.boschautoparts.com doesn't show any BOSCH plugs to fit my truck!

Thats because Bosch does not recommend any of their plugs for the 4.6.
I used AutoLite Iridiums this time and Denso Iridiums last time.
Any Iridium plug will work great.

NGK is also not showing any offering for this application. They show a plug for the Freelander and Range Rover 4.4, but nothing for the Discovery.

Odd.

DiscoMike tried the Iridiums and I believe he still prefers the +4's.

Spike has had 3 different kinds of plugs in his in the past year. I have ran the +4's for a year and like them over stock.

I have run both of the Bosch plugs and believe I had a lot more low end torque while running the Plus 4's, I think their # was a 4418.
They also do make a plug for the 4.6, some parts stores just don't have a listing for them

I tried both the +4's and the Iridium. I like the +4's much better. The Iridiums ran like crap in my 4.0. Other folks have had good results, though.

Yeah I reconize him, he's a tool, he's wearing a Jeep shirt and unless he rolled his Jeep and bought a Disco or 2 he will always be a tool.
LOL

Where did you shoot that vid at?
My friend invited me to a M1 shoot in Muskegan.

The M1 Garand shoot would be a lot of fun, especially if they buy the ammo, eh?

The rifle in the video is my M14- what did you think of my camo-job?

All the videos so far have been filmed at my house.

Tell me more about the M1 shoot. Is it for fun, or is it a rifleman training event? I've been wanting to catch an "apple-seed" event nearby for a year now.
