Message:
I now have an MSD 6TN, new Mopar wires, new Bosch non-platnum plugs, a new K&N Filter, Pennzoil Synthetic oil and a Bosch filter and my mpg went down, and I'm not even playing with it!
Computer was also reset, plugs are gapped at .045".

I've been a Dodge man all my life and worked on, and built 318s and 360s but this one just ain't respondin'

WHY?

'98 DAK EXT. CAB SPORT 5.2 AUTO W/ MSD SYSTEM, K&N

Despite what others have reported, I don't think that the changes will have enough of a gain to be measured. The fact that MPG went down certainly isn't normal though. The only thing I can see by what you have written is the gap in the plugs. I would go back to .040. Cars can be like women. They do things that we men will never understand.
