I found some spark plugs in a box of stuff I bought and didn't know they were in there. This is the part number Ms35905-2 What are they for?

I looked at my M38a1 and I have MS35905-1 plugs in it, which is probably what was sold to me when I requested them years ago from a parts dealer.

I cant tell what is in my M37, they are so rusty crusty outside that its impossible to tell.

Could they be MS35909-1 and 2 instead of MS35905-1 and 2?


Looking at this M37 plug chart it might be just a warmer plug than the dash 1:

Yeah darn I knew I should have wrote it down to bring in to the laptop.
Its the 35909-2
That chart even has the same numbers AR 5s and 7s that were on these and the ones in my jeep.

I read the article and I now understand why you would go to a cooler plug with horsepower engine upgrades, but...

What would be a benefit for the military in a stock M38a1 or M37 to go to a warmer or cooler plug? IE why did the military have them? Operating Climate?

What is correct for the typical M38a1 and M37?

The correct plugs are listed in the service manuals for both trucks. If your truck starts using a wee bit of oil and fouls plugs often then you would switch to a hotter plug.

I have a plug chart posted in my photo album. The primary plug for the M38 & the M37 is the Autolite 2243. For the M38A1 the Auto-lite 2245



My M38 has 2243's in it as does my M37.
