Lots of people say Champions are junk, but my van has used the factory recomended plugs since new (not the same set) and I have never had any problems.

Why do I need to change the spark plug on my Dodge Ram 1500?
Without a proper set, you’ll be stuck in your car for hours, trying to get it to start. Now, heavy-duty trucks like the RAM 1500 might require a spark change sooner than a family hauler. The reason – they put more pressure on the engine and all of its components when off-roading or towing.
What happens when you don’t change the spark plug?
The spark ignites the air-fuel mixture entering the engine through the air intake and fuel injectors, pushing the engine’s pistons down and creating the engine’s power. If this spark doesn’t occur or is prevented from firing at its optimal capacity, the engine will struggle to start, run correctly, or even stall.
