I'm going to change the spark plugs in my 2004 Hemi Ram with NGK 5306. Could someone please tell me what I should gap them to?

Hmmmmm???? Confused

I wonder if Jay could explain why the difference in gaps? I'm going to be changing mine soon with the NGK 5306's and I do remember the gap was .045 on my '03.

dunno

It's just like each state has a different penalty, for the same crime. No rhyme or reason. Personally, I gap mine a .040, because the gap widens on its own, over time.
