put em in. I had no problems. It started quicker. and mileage went up when i didnt have the lead foot deal. Power. It seemed to wrap up all my mods better together. Not enough to notice except i went from bosch (not reccomended) to the e3's so prob better than stock gains. -6 this morning and non garage kept. She started right up.

im noticing everyone with tuners (custom and such) is having problems. Maybe its running to rich/lean hot/cold or something that the plugs arent designed for. Just a thought. My jet chip is at best.. a paper weight so..

Its was like an led light vs incondesent bulb. It took me a while to figure out how to explain it, till this morning. A semi trailer had led light on one side and a regular light on the other. 4 ways were on. even though 12 volts was applied to both sides at the same time the led lit up faster than the other. Thats how it looked when they were testing the e3 plug at the same time as a regular plug. It just made a bigger spark faster than the regular one. So if it some how responds faster wouldn't that mean if a guy had a slight ping while running these e3's the ignition timing would have to be retarded a bit. scene dodge doesn't use a knock sensor. Thats all I was trying to say.

I don't have a tuner in my truck and the E3's still suck. I think that for those that say that the e3's made there truck a bit faster, and there mileage is up...well, that's expected with any plug change. After all, your putting in a new plug. It could be that your one of the lucky one's. I'm just stating my opinions.

i never claimed better mpg or power, i did a lot of things all at once so i dont know what advantage they alone have, but the truck definatly starts up even in the cold without any hesitation
