Plugs and intake.

[gearheadesw]

Some months ago I put in some E3 plugs, no problems, no real difference. A few months ago that put on a K&N intake, no problems, sounds good, not loud like an exhaust.

I’ve been noticing that my truck pulls great with the 1000 pound ATV in the bed. Better then it used to. No giant claims, just noticing some better power while driving, same fuel mileage.

Give it some more miles. Those plugs never done me right. Always start off good then after 10-30k missfire city. That said they might just do ok in these gas GDI engines with all the fuel they dump.

Yeah, I wasn't impressed with e3 in my 2006 6.0, it actually felt worse. I took them out, installed OEM and it was back to normal. Maybe things have changed.

If I remember correctly, I put them in about 10-15 K miles ago, have AC Delco replacements in the garage for replacements as you guys on here have suggested, but so far so good....

Keep us updated. I'm interested in the performance for the duration. I hope they got it right.

My dad puts them in everything. Even his lawn mowers.

My Iridium factory plugs have served me well. 100,000 miles a set.

AC Delco plugs are made by NGK. FYI

I've run NGK plugs in most everything but old Brit bikes.

Those get Champion Copper Plus. O' l school. When I can find them.

Yeah, I've run E3's in several different vehicles, have had no bad luck with them, and nothing super extraordinary with any of them either.

We'll see how they last, there's something wrong with this site it ****s my computer up,  lots of info in here......

So a crazy update, took the truck in for wandering on center, thought they would do the PIT5501F update, but they replace the center link, pitman and idler arms, and it steers like new.  Total success.  They did it on my extended warranty at 60 K miles.

I noticed my fuel milage was way down,compared to what it was when I brought it in, no big deal, they test drove it quite a few miles. But, the truck seems to pull harder, and gets better fuel milage after this front end work... Did they like my truck,  and flash it? Placebo effect? I don't think it's just me, tires lit up on a very familiar turn into traffic, and it pulls hills by the house easier, I dunno, but I like it.....
