Back to the Champion Truck plugs for a minute.
Three of the major chain stores in local area searched and Zero for three on Champion truck Plugs. Advance, A/Z and PepBoys not one of them carry truck plugs. They have OEM Champion Copper or Platinum.
Will the OEM Champion OEM Copper work? I already have the Autolite Copper installed now. I am out on a quest for the Champion Truck Plugs but don't want to keep getting a no find, or waste time that could be spent on installing plugs.
Any Ideas on where I can find Champion Truck plugs besides the places mentioned above?

Thanks Hydra!!!
I had overlooked Rock Auto on my google search. I ordered from their web site, I was able to get the part number from Advance. What a waste of bandwidth and hard drive space. They show the part number but don't carry them and can't order them. I do remember the part number 4318 though. Hopefully they will be here by the end of the week. I guess I have waited this long whats another few days right?

Ya,
Ordering always sucks but thats when you get a couple of other things you've been needing while your there. Then again It takes a coulpe of days but in the end you get what you want. If I order plugs then I order 9 plugs because I could break one. Then I just keep the extra on hand from there on. I looked on www.summitracing.com and theres were more money.

I've pulled parts from CarStar, and there was a parts store called Bradshaw where I used to live (out of buisness now) that had good parts. I remember that I bought great front rotors from them for 22 bucks each.....LOL....and still installed years later
NAPA is always good in my book as well, but like anything, you got to know what your looking for and this is a good place to find out what works the best.

One thing you also have to do is watch out for the mods that make noise...
I put on an intake, instantly got better MPG. A week later bought a performance muffler.. something that makes a nice growl... And my mpg hit the floor. OK.. so maybe its my foot hit the floor and the gas followed.. but hey, its still linked to the growl

[HYDRA If I order plugs then I order 9 plugs because I could break one.]
I wish I had thought of that, but with Rock Auto they only sell packs of 4 so If I needed extra I would have to get 4, I guess I will just have to be careful, I will keep Napa in mind if one does break though. I know that #7 and #8 plugs are the most difficult ones, and #8 is the most difficult of all, at least in my experience. I will do that one last.
I am testing the quote editing instructions sent to me by Indy so if it works then give ME credit and if it fails..........BLAME HIM!!!!!!!! LOL

I will admit now, I am still having trouble with the quotes, even following Indys instructions. This is a simple one so I will just manually enter.

I thought of that, but ROCK AUTO only sends them in boxes of four so I would have four extra. I will keep NAPA in mind if I break one. I do know from previous experience that the #8 plug is the most difficult one so I will do that one last.
