$28 for 6 NGK V-Powers?
96 Cherokee inline 6 4.0 and went to NAPA to get the recommended NGK plugs. His computer pulled up the NGK 7252 (FR5-1) and charged me $28 for 6 of em.
Price seemed a little high so I'm wondering.. is this is the right plug for my truck? Thanks.

Compliments of CCKen:
A word or two about NGK & Champion plugs:
If you go to the NGK website and look up NGK plugs for your Jeep you will find that they list ZFR5N plugs for 1999 - 2001 Jeeps w/4.0 motors.
If you have an earlier Jeep (<99) you will see they list a FR5-1 plug. That is the wrong plug for your Jeep. FR5-1 plugs are for Chrysler and Dodge V8's.
You can use ZFR5N plugs in earlier 4.0's with no problem, as well as the Champion RC12LYC plugs. The ZFR5N plug is almost the same as Champion RC12ECC plug, the only difference being is the ZFR5N plug has a slightly cooler heat range than the RC12ECC plug. The RC12ECC plug is identical to the RC12LYC plug in having he same heat range, except that the RC12ECC plug has an improved design over the RC12LYC. Note the "CC" at the end of the RC12ECC plug number. This means Copper Copper. Copper Copper plugs have Nickle plated Copper ground electrodes and Nickle plated Copper center electrodes.
