I have never had a good experience with champion plugs. I stopped even considering them after a while. They may have been great at one time, but...... at this point, I just won't use them.
I don't remember what brand I put in the truck....
you put new ones in your ram? if so you are a minority. i am a member on 5 different mopar boards and you always see plug threads. 99% of them are some other brand than champion messin up in there magnum motor. i never liked champion plugs till i got this truck. they just seem to like the magnum motor.
i had only own the truck for about a month and the engine ran great with the spark plugs before my engine flooded and i was forced to do an oil change. the old spark plugs look in good shape but some would just not spark.

This second quote is the one that I have seen a LOT of. Once the plugs are fouled, that's it. I have worked on cars, trucks, wood chippers....... and on more occasions than I care to count, something brought in with a no start, and champion plugs... all it would take is a plug change to get it running again.
Hey did anyone see the "how it works" or How its made" show on E3 plugs? They took the e3 to MIT Tech and tested it. It does what they claim. They didn't say what the other plug was that they tested against it with. The pinging problem is the plug alright. It sparks way faster than a regular plug and makes a bigger spark. I might buy a set for the durango 5.9 and set the timing back a tick and see how they work out. As for me as well no luck with champions. NGK V power for the low end price plug or Denso's if I can swing the price at the time of need.

How much did you pay for the tool to reprogram the PCM so the timing can be adjusted, and where did you buy it?
