Jeremy Howard says:

Would you say this is the same method for a 2005 Dodge Ram 4.7?

WV Hillbilly says:

Also, I’ve used E3 plugs in other cars… No problem. But don’t risk it in
the 4.7. The small advantages you’ll get isn’t worth what could happen
after long periods of use. Maybe if its a show car, not using it that much
it might be ok. I’ve just seen too many bad things for me to ever justify
using anything other than copper in this 4.7.

J Browning says:

Platinum is overrated and many Dodge gurus say they cause problems in the
3rd gen’s. To JH, yes. I have an ’05 Ram 1500 and they also have coil packs
on each plug. Better than dealing with wires in my opinion. Go with basic
copper Autolites part # 5224 i believe.

WV Hillbilly says:

Good video. But on a side note. I am a Dodge mechanic. It is very critical
to use the OEM copper plugs due to the excessive heat the platinum plugs
produce. I’m not sure why but its mainly the 4.7 that has issues with this
problem. Most other engines usually are OK. I’m sure your truck is running
great but I’d rather be on the safe side since I’ve seen the damage it can
cause. Better to be safe than sorry. 🙂

Where do ya start on a radiator repalcement on a 04 dakota 4.7 ?

WV Hillbilly says:

Hello Barry. I’ve been able to use almost any type of air filters, oil
filters you name it without any problems. The only issue with the 4.7 is
making sure you stick with the stock plugs…. This is one of the best
engines I’ve ever owned but the heat from non copper plugs are too much. As
long as you use the copper plugs you’ll be fine with any other aftermarket
changes!!

Thks for that Info. Have a 2002 4.7 and thinking of fitting the new E3
plugs as you get better power output and gas mileage….apparently? As a
Dodge mechanic what is your take? My Dodge is a show truck and like to do
my own basic mechanics. Appreciate your comment.
