Plugs- Ive been told that the copper Champs are fine for our motors, but this info was coming from the Hemi guys. I also see a lotta NGK's being used. Whats a decent plug for the $$ range Im trying to stay in? I guess anything will be better than the originals that Im sure are still in there, just checking in with you guys.

I'm going up there in a few, so chop chop with some answers!!! Thanks guys...
i went with full synth penzoil last time. as for plugs use autolites 3294 i cant remeber the number but somethign like that.

I wasted the money on some of those bosch platinums. They lasted about 5k. I now have autolite also. Runs like a champ, except for the rpm hunting thing.

Plugs-Check. I wanted to go with the NGK's, but they were sold out ($1 off special). So, in my usual antsy fashion, I just went with the oem champions. The swap was super smooth, for the most part. I started at the one closest to me, on the passenger side, just to see how it all went. Then I went to the farthest one. That was the only PITA. I spent 20min trying to break that b!tch loose, ended up having to put a pipe on it. That plug had all kindsa white **** on it, Ill get a couple pics up in a bit. I did the last 4 plugs in 15min, rushing so I wasn't late picking the wifey up. Easiest plug change Ive done yet.

Oil-Check. They were running the special on Castrol and a Bosch filter, which Ive never heard of. The guy told me they're basically made by Purolator, which is what I usually run, so I went with it. I swear, the truck feels a tad smoother. Of course, you want to tell a difference, but I think I do.

The plugs didn't really even need changing. I now doubt they're the originals, Ill throw up some pics, let yall tell me whatcha think.

Good week for the 4-7. TB cleaned, synthetic oil, and new plugs. Hope I see any kinda mpg increase.

Hey guys just wanted to post the link to my thread on my truck not running right. I still havent gotten to the bottom of the problem and I could use some advice. Hope everyone is doing well. Hows our Logo coming along? Im looking forward to 3 things, getting my truck running, washing it, and slapping that logo on the back window!

BTW I love my E3's. I changed my plugs about 2-3 months ago and have about 2000 miles on them. So far so good. just my two cents.

Bear, I know you already went with the champions, so did I. when you change 'em you do feel a little more pep in the truck. Us 1500's have a lot of weight to carry around and anything to keep these things in tune will help us not to lag.
