Havent used those before myself.. I am due for a spark plug/wires/distributor change pretty soon.. and I have heard of all kidns of new types.. since plugs are cheap, I might as well fork up soem godo money and test some of the top of the line stuff out


Actually, I think I may just bite the bullet and test out a special aftermarket high quality plug.. known as the Pulstar Pulse Plug... you woudl **** yoru pants if you realize how expensive they are.. but what they show is amazing if its fully true

The E3's were the first spark plugs I had bought for my ranger but never really got to try them because they blew up the next day (wrong P/N from Advance Auto).

Yea......schucks tried to sell me the E3.56 ones.....aka the ones for the 4.0L OHV engine rather than the E3.60 for the 4.0L SOHC. I got them on order....it's only $30 and about an hour or so to swap...no biggie.

Don't throw your money away, they are a scam! The best plugs you can use
are Motorcraft double, or fine wire platinums.

For once Bob and I agree! They remind me of split fires, and we all know how "well" those worked...

I run them in my lawn mower, snowblower and weed wacker. I feel they start\run better with them. I would not suggest running them in our Rangers though. Stock plugs work fine.

I've got them in mine. Seemed to run better once I switched them out, but I had damn near 120k on my stockers when I switched them so any new plug would run better. Haha....
