nope ... all most all of hemi owners use the slandered OEM champion copper plugs .

stay away from plat plugs , 85% of people experience problems with them .

stick with OEM champions . cheap and work ...hemi needs copper as this engine runs hot .
and keep in mind every 30k on plugs .

welcome to the forum

like i said , stick with the OEM champions COPPER .
do the plug change all 16 , clean the TB and check the EGR , switch the oil over to synthetic 5.5 QUARTS , get rid of the hemi hat and get a good breathable CAI with a good non restrictive exhaust , and possibly a tunner down the road .

that will help with MPG'S

AND DEPENDING ON THE MILES .... diff service and trans .

nothing runs better than a well serviced truck

two separate auto stores recommended platinum plugs for replacement, just goes to show who has your truck in mind when it comes to maintenance. The stores want the bottom line almighty dollar, to hell withh your ride, not so here. An exhaust system, preferably a cat back system will increase horsepoweer, and mpg's btw. T^hat aside go with the copper jobs, they work the best.

yes def. stick with the stock champions, and that will save you money toward mods. If you are going for mods to increase mpg also look into an e-fan.

no ram hunter all plugs are gapped the same even tried a second set, champ plugs are the worst on the market, even both dodge dealers say the same and said they have better luck with high end plugs and no they are not trying to get more money frm me ,im a lic mech and do my own work, this is my first hemi and this is why i took advice from members who say champ plugs are the best for hemi's, is there anybody on this site that fell for this also? i put new platiumn plugs in and idles like new!

WRT Idle shake AL, Beef up your Plug Wires, There was talk about that here a couple days ago?

I try to stay away from Spark Plug Debates. But..Whether its good or bad, I got no Black soot on my Tail Pipes to worry bout compared to when I was runnin Copper!

You can't beef up coil packs. These o6's and beyond don;t have regular plug wires. The op must be a certified mechanic, he never ******* about the 16 plugs he had too change or the swivel unit, or the extensions , or the lack of room on the drivers side. lol 5 hrs. ****!! ****** job to find out you gotta do 'em over again. First I heard of a bad set of plugs thou. Look I agree there cheap enough, but 95% of us use them . I think you either smooshed one. gap wise. or had a bad insulating problem. I'm not defending my position on this just stating what I think is the obvious.

sometimes you can drop voltage at coil pac's but scanner at work wont let you monitor missfires , it does seem to be alot less noticable when at operating temp, i still think its the plugs, but like to here from people who run platiumn plugs, anybody also have tried MSD coil pacs?

Weedahoe , actually put them on his rig. he went with the coil pack set up. Now whether he has msd hooked up. , I dunno. pm him, dunno where he's been. If you have a tuner sc 3865, it allows you to turn it off. I really can't see the point, At wot those cylynders are all thumping power imo.
