Everyone! Dude check out the new E3 power spark plugs. I have tried all the spark plugs out there and these E3 PLUGS RUN THE REST IN THE GROUND... plus with the 100,000 mile warranty how can one go wrong. Check out my second page @ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2646307. For better gas mileage...

So you are using these? How much better did your D run and what was the mileage increase?

I think I fugured out some of my problem, being my rear brakes are not releasing all the way and it is causing my D to have to run throttle when it should be coasting.....

the rear Brake problem may be solved by replacing the "brake kit" . Considering the spark plugs burn all the fuel... it ran a hello lot better with power and the gas mileage went from 11+ to 13.6 in the city.power you will feel!

I am getting my rear brakes rebuilt next week. Springs, wheel cylinders, shoes the works. I am also getting my front brakes and bearings done. So hopefully less drag from rotating parts.

I run a 15.2 mileage in the city. 17 and up Hwy at 75 mph.

E-3 work for about 1000k and thats it. Power goes ku-but.

Besides, they can't stand up to my ignition because they weren't built for the performance! They might do ok in OEM but I've read up on em numorous time and everyone says the same thing. 1000k and ku-put.

Champion Truck plugs are the same spark plug as the regular it is just painted a differnet color. This info comes from a person who works for champion on disign work.
They are a hotter heat rangeso better burn. Other than that, the same.

For the Magnum engines i would recomend Autolite 3923 (reduce ping/smooth idle), and the4.7L NGK 2262. Cap, i suggest Napa, brass contacts are the way to go,mopar caps are aluminum contacts.
Dude, the 4.7L has no Cap and Rotor or Wires.
