Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plugs for Ram 1500 (2013-2018) 3.6L

Direct-Fit Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plug Kit for 2013-2018 Ram 1500

What it Does: The Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plug Kit replaces degraded factory secondary ignition components on the 2013-2018 Ram 1500 to restore peak spark energy, eliminate engine misfires, and stabilize combustion efficiency.

The Stock Ram 1500 Coil Breakdown and Spark Plug Erosion

Factory pencil coils on the 3.6L Pentastar V6 endure extreme thermal cycles inside the intake valley. Over prolonged runtime, heat soak deteriorates the internal copper winding insulation and dielectric epoxy potting, leading to micro-arcing and secondary voltage drop under load. Compounding this issue, factory spark plug ground electrodes erode, expanding the gap and demanding higher secondary breakdown voltages. This causes random misfires (DTC P0300–P0306), unburnt fuel fouling the catalytic converters, and diminished fuel economy.

The Engineering Solution

This service kit features reinforced coil-on-plug units wound with high-conductivity copper wire and sealed with high-dielectric epoxy to withstand extreme engine bay heat without shorting. The included spark plugs feature laser-welded, fine-wire iridium center electrodes and platinum-tipped ground pads, lowering the required strike voltage, resisting spark erosion, and ensuring immediate flame kernel expansion across all load ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit the DS 1500?
Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2013-2018 Ram 1500 equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine.

Do these iridium spark plugs require manual gapping before installation?
No, these plugs come pre-gapped from the factory, and mechanical gapping tools should not be used on fine-wire iridium tips to avoid brittle fractures.

The Ram Workhorse Caliber

Towing and hauling require uninterrupted torque from the DS platform. Upgrading to a matched set of fresh ignition coils and iridium plugs restores critical flame propagation, preventing misfires and loss of power when working under full load.
