Some news about the Champion Platinums that I put into my Hemi. The truck after a few days straightened itself out and is idling normal and has plenty of power. Seems like the coil packs are ok with the Platinum plugs and maybe the computer has adjusted itself to use those plugs? Who knows. All I know is fuel mileage seems to be a little better (still on full after 75 miles) but a fillup will tell me what the mileage actually is.

Where in GA are you located?

Dont bother with the E3's. They look nice and have a nice price tag on them also. Just use the stock Champion plugs

hey spud..next time you decide to change out ur plugs or a faulty sensor..try unplugging ur battery while doing it..this resets the PCM and puts it in learn mode...so the PCM isnt still trying to compensate for SUPER large gaps in the plugs lol
