Well it's time for plugs and wires for my truck. What ones do our trucks like? I was looking at either getting accel performance plugs or the e3 plugs.

 

As far as plugs go, stick with Champs or Autolite plane jane coppers. As far as wires go any descent brand, I prefer Standard Motor Products brand. What ever you decide on wires do the TSB routing. http://dodgeram.info/tsb/1998/18-48-98/18-48-98-v8.htm

 

I have used a lot of spark plugs & want to save you some frustration, so bare with me here. When you take a spark plug, like an e3 or plus 4 or any alleged spark plug with extra meat at the end, the meaty part will act like a glow plug instead of a spark plug & cause pre-detination. Those kind of plugs will give you hotter performance & better mileage, but over a relatively small amount of time (a year for me), they will punch holes in the pistons, causing lack of compression, necessitating a rebuild. I went through that in a V6 camry & an S10 I had before. My engine re builder found out what I did to cause that & gave me a very similar lecture. He even showed me the pistons from each of those engines. Tiny holes, no kidding. Keeping the plugs simple is best & the dodge engines love simple plugs. I did put denso iridium plugs in mine & have had no ill effect. I would say that if you want hotter plug performance, use copper plugs with a MSD module or a jacobs module if you can find one. Make certain to use plug wire spacers to keep them from looking like spaghetti too or that could in time cause a lack of predictability for your performance. Most importantly, don't get caught up in the advertising hype on performance TV shows, those guys are paid to push crap like E3.

 

I put AutoLite Copper's in mine, run's great.

 

NGK V-Power here. Still copper and IMO better then Champion or Autolight.

 

Back when I had my 2001, I used Autolite 3923s (a little colder) or NGK V-powers. The Champion ones should work well too.

 

Get the champion coppers at like 1.50 a piece and call it a day

 

^^^ Me too.

 

x2 i seemed to have picked up about 2mpg swapping from champion to ngk in my 93. i run ngk v-power ones in all my trucks and they run great.

 

I run 3923's as well. Work great and last a long time.
