NGK Ruthenium plug will give you a smoother ride. Let us know how it works for you.
I am just trying to share my observations. If anyone can explain why, that is a plus :)
My comparisons are mostly between different setups on my own Bronco and test drives with 2.7L engine Bronco. At the beginning, I knew 2.3 was louder than 2.7, so really, no complaint then. I drove past 45k...
If you want to double-check, measure the gap of your old plugs and compare with the new plugs.---> I don’t have a new plug to compare with, but I just measured all four of my old plugs. Three came in at 0.31, and one was slightly bigger at 0.32. That tiny difference might add a bit of roughness...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I would like to do an exact follow-up, but d**n, my subscription just expired. I started the question with a pro account, and I cannot continue on that exact thread :confused:
Anyway, I restarted with the same question and sent you points. Here is the...

Changing spark plugs improves idle smoothness because it restores combustion consistency.
When an engine idles, it is actually...
Hit the 45k mark. This 2.3L has always been a grumpy little engine at idle—a little rough, a little loud. I thought it was normal for the 2.3L engine. Now it is buttery smooth.
So, the old plugs look fine at the tip—clean and dry. But the ceramic has some brown stains on it. Is that just the...
Swappable batteries are definitely a plus for extending the overall lifespan, though not really for runtime in my case. Personally, I don’t have a scenario where I’d need a small air duster running for hours straight. Also, I’m guessing this new design adds a bit more weight compared to the MF100?
ICON does have a shock (EXP series, stage 1) that needs OEM springs and not a threaded body for height adjustment. If that is the case, then it makes sense for more labor cost (not 1k).
