Meh ive never experienced a difference with spark plugs regardless. Not sure what the differences would cause.
Yea 190. I thought OEM was 195 but 5* isn't the end. As for plugs. Some people say they have no issue with iradiums, platnums, blah blah blah. I've only used OEM style in my jeep so I can't say exactly how they react but I know most people will say to stick with em

May need to flush heater core or there's air in there. That I can't answer on but what I can say, web you get the jeep to normal OP temp. Feel the hoses that run on top of the crank case. Feel I they are both hot or not.

Hell, my heat would kill me in the winter. Had to cycle it on an off it was too hot

On the spark plugs, Champions were the factory spec. Chrysler replaced them with NGK within a few years due to premature wear from the reverse/waste spark. So use those if you want OEM spec.

As for the coolant, when was the last time you had to fill the res. have you done an oil change to check the oil. And check for leaks around the radiator
Havent had an oil change planning to get one or do one soon tho cuz im around the 3k mark since ive had it dunno when it was done before but I think that was ine thing that was done regularly this is the first time ive filled it

It was my first time too lol. Don't do it on a hot engine! Once that fuel catches fire, your wires and hoses are done for.

thats why im doing it BEFORE delivering lol i was gonna do it this afternoon but it was hot and i was late for work and i was getting po'ed that neither advance or autozone would rent out stupid socket sets....******* and then i forgot my tape and compressed air at home...and before that i was running full blast heat in the jeep out on the route cuz it stalled for the first time and kept trying to and the heat helped make the stuttering slightly less violent

its just been a rough day...now im eatin oreos and then going to bed haha

While I was under the Jeep today I noticed this loose harness. I've never noticed it before, but it hasn't caused me any trouble thus far either......anyone recognize this?

Changing spark plugs in the morning. My dad insists I don't need to use anti seize or dielectric grease. Is he right? Also, I'm just supposed to tighten 1/16th of a turn past hand tight, correct?
