Need some advise. I have a spark plug wire that keeps falling off / loose when it gets hot. I will replace all 8 so any recommendations out there. Thanks.

It keeps slipping off at the red circle area. Only one that's slipping off. All others seems nice and tight. I believe these are stock AC Delco as well.

I've had to use a small screwdriver or pick and get down to the terminal to squeeze it back together just a bit and it would snap on and stay better. Might help yours stay on. Easy enough to try and see.

Maybe try swapping it with one of the other cylinders. Maybe it would prefer a "new" home.

Could always zip tie it around the coil

As RaycinSS stated, sometimes you can manipulate the terminal under the boot to get a better fit, this goes for either end. Otherwise, I like MSD wires.

Firecore pro mods. You ain’t gonna pull these off the coil once they’re on very easy . Paid $150 for mine a year ago

MSD makes some very low resistant wires that are also heat resistant as well of course they fit on firm.
