I would stick with the stock champion plugs or ngk plugs. I put e3 in my wrangler and nothing but problems.
I put E3 my wrangler too and 2 of them melted going down the driveway. MELTED. Never again.[/QUOTE]

Coils are the same part number,no difference look them up ! Stay with factory recommendations for plugs.
That's because they don't make the old coils anymore. The coils got upgraded a couple part numbers ago. If you have an early truck that calls for copper plugs and it's still using the original coils a good upgrade is to replace them with the newer coils

I'm actually in process of researching for plugs myself. Way back when, Mopar installed NGK 92174 LZFR5C-11 Nickel Spark Plugs in Hemi engines. Now they recommend the NGK 92145 LZFR5CI-11 Laser Iridium Spark Plug and I'm pretty sure they're the current OEM plug.

IF you want to research things like spark plugs, coils & a lot of other parts

Go to the RockAuto website
They did a lot of research apparently

Your truck should call for the earlier nickel/copper plugs being a 12.You can put the later irridium plugs in it though,if you get a misfire ,you might have to upgrade to the newer coils if you still have the original coils.About MY13 they upgraded the coils with more windings and started putting the irridium plugs in the trucks,but usually the earlier coils will have enough juice to fire the later plugs,a stop gap measure would be to run the later plugs and close up the gap to somewhere around 0.038/39" ,a smaller gap takes the load off the coils and is easier to fire.

I have a set of MSD blaster coils sitting on my back porch as I type this. I tow and do some off road stuff and have some traveling planned this year so I want to ensure my ignition system is up to par. I've also noticed a drop in fuel economy since I bought the truck so if I'm pulling the coils off anyways, I figured I might as well replace them as I'm creeping on the 200k mile mark. Plus I like the red. [emoji1787]

Your MSD coils aren't as good as the stock coils. If you're going by Hotrods test from way back in 05 i think it was,they were a comparable coil to the stock coils back then,but the stock coils have been upgraded a couple times since that magazine test,and the MSD coils haven't. The later stock coils are good for well over 1100hp.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but thought I would give my two cents. I've been interested in these too. I first came across these plugs watching Stacey David's show.


Can't really take it seriously considering he is sponsored by them right?..
Well I guess that depends on a person's ethics. I don't know Stacey well enough to make that judgement.

Anywhere else, I'm seeing mixed reviews. They are what I call "Marmite" plugs. Some people love them, others hate them. I've thought about giving them a shot when I do need to replace the plugs. But frankly, haven't seem them being sold here in parts stores and that can mean;
1. Most people here prefer to basically stick to stock /OEM parts or what comes from reputed OEM style tuners like Brabus, etc. Which is true. Over here in Dubai, this is a 100% correct. You hardly find people experimenting when it comes to engine parts unless these are reputed aftermarket mods like Turbos, engine swaps, etc. I've seen VW Polos with Honda Integra engines, etc.
2. E3 hasn't really hasn't gained the popularity that they hoped and people here don't really know they exist. Over here, if it isn't famous, its nothing.
3. E3 claims are just merely hype and don't work as well as those who promote them and possibly only work on certain applications.

For where I am, I would have to order them and wait for them to be shipped and pretty much plan ahead because shipping takes an age. Far too much effort for a set of plugs. Might as well stick with OEM or get Iridiums; which are well known and readily available over the counter.

Your 14 should already be factory equipped with iridium plugs and the good factory coils

E-3 does not list a heat range for this spark plug,
because the E-3 is shorter in length it maybe a step colder for the heat range index.
Most manufacturers provide their own number (code) it’s not universal and only manufacturer specific.

A while back I was dealing with hard starting, and rough idle issues. Like almost a misfire rough idle issue. No codes, so I figured I'd start at a plug swap, being the easiest swap to start tracking down the issues. I was gonna go with the E3's (all that advertising hype and such). Read a thread here about the NGK Laser Iridium plugs. 100,000+ mile is a strong selling point for an old codger like myself. So I grabbed some of those plugs. Lo and behold, the plugs coming out were E3's. The whole time I was like "please don't be coil packs" (cause I thought E3's were good plugs). Let me cut to the chase. Got the NGK's installed and all those issues I was having were gone. And I am STILL thankful for this forum and the vast information it provides. Cause I won't ever buy E3's for my hemi. That thing gets Iridium only!
