I recently serviced a somewhat neglected 2003 Dodge Dakota V6. 200K miles; running kinda rough...
This engine is not to be confused with a silky smooth V6 found in many cars today...
A week after the oil change, I replaced the plugs. The existing plugs were NGK, which is a great plug.
They were not worn; I am pretty sure a shop did the prior install.
I replaced them with the stock cheapo copper Champions.
What. A. Difference.
FYI - If anyone told me changing to the same spec but different brand (especially from NGK) would make a big difference, I would never believe them.
Probably do cap, rotor and wires next.
