Im sure .54" is a typo, .054" is the gap.Quote:

I didn't notice the " until after I posted lol, that's why I thought it was .54mm. I realized after you posted it had " so you are probably right. It's missing a 0 as in 0.054"Quote:

Does anyone know the 2008 4.2L V6 spark plug order? #5 is misfiring, and I don't have time today to change them all. Thanks.
#5 is passenger side furthest plug back. 3rd one closest to firewall. I'd pop in a new plug on that cylinder, and measure ohms on that spark plug wire, it may be bad, causing the miss. Too high a reading, or no reading at all indicates a bad wire. Let us know.
