I want to replace the plugs and wires on my 95 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L V6 and would like to know which are the best all around best spark plugs and wires for the money. I'm not looking for anything fancy or expensive (it's not a race car!), but at the same time I don't want any cheap parts that would replacement prematurely.
Something like GM plugs, I know they're the best bang for the buck for GM vehicles, but I don't know what works best for Chrysler vehicles. Any help anyone could offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

I personally like Bosch Platinum plugs. The cost about $2 each but hold up well even in performance engines. As far as wires there are many good manufacturers of wires out there. It is best to get a set that matches OEM quality as many of the other wires may cause problems. Since it is not a race car standard size wires should work very well for your application. Bosch also makes wires to go along with the plugs!

It is not hard to change the front three plugs but the three in the rear are another story. The change the front three plugs simply remove the wire, remove and reinstall the plug and seat the wire on the plug. For the ones in the rear there is only one easy way to get to them and that is to remove the phlenum. Of course you need to remove the coil pack and the throttle body. You can get to them from underneath if you have a lift but it is still quite difficult. I bought the plugs and wires and had a shop change the rear plugs for me. Still cost me $60 but he scanned the computer too. Hope this helps!

UPDATE:
I got the BOSCH Platinum Plugs, Wires and Oxigen Sensor installed and the van and now it runs, responds and behaves so much better now. I had the Air & Fuel Filters, PCV & Air Breather replaced last week. With this full tune up I have to see if I can also get good gas mileage on it too!

Sounds like you did it right. You should see a difference in the mileage almost immediately. Good Luck!
