I work up at the nuclear power station at Fort Calhoun, NE. I'm an instrument and control technician. I've usually run motorcraft. Have any of you guys run those E3 plugs before, or any of the similar ones they have out?

I've had bad experiences with the Bosch plugs. And, I know lots of guys on here have said that the Bosch's, for whatever reason, just don't work well with Fords.

I work as a Manufacturing engineer at John Deere Des Moines Works for tillage and grain. I did 4 years at Autozone, I feel ya working for Advance... I have found that for whatever the reason, it seems the best plugs are what the factory spec'd. Champions and Bosch for Chrysler, AC for GM, and Motorcraft for Ford.

We could use a bit ober home but doesn't look likely to make it there. Not quite drought, but since it finally stopped raining enough to getthe crops planted, doesn't seem to want to come back.

Morning Roger. Seemed like Iowa was getting tons of rain in June and July. Looks like the tap has shut off.
