any well versed mechanic will tell you to change ur plugs every 50k, its just a good practice yea the titanium and iridium and stuff last for up to 100k but you cnat tell how your motor is running if you never change ur plugs....

That is true, changing your plugs every 50 would be better. Then you know you would be getting maxinum spark. Does anyone know how these trucks fire? like on the left side does it go 1,2,3,4 and the right side is 5,6,7,8? Or is it different? And that if your looking at the truck from the front

facing then engine bay..

driver side head fires odds, passanger side head fires evens,
like so..

8 -7
6 -5
4 -3
2 -1

make sure you do one wire andf plug at a time if you dont have a diagram is you mess up the distributer you will get missfires and can shot fire out your intake, i took my intake off to get to the plugs easier and when i did it i must of had 1 wire mixed up so i had to go back and trace my paths found out 5 and 7 where backwards.. but when i tired to start it backfired out of the Throttle body big flame.. lol.. just a heads up..

you an find a diagram from the manual that was posted up by LIL.

uhh i dont see why they woudn't? If not just get champions, stay away from anything that says it good on there banners and posters.. they all suck its always the iridium or platnium crap they advertise cuz they know it sucks.

but anyways if you cant get them just order them online.. they are like 1.50 each if that i got all mine for around 10.50$
