DAK99OTA you didnt come off in any wrong way its all good....i feel the same way. i see people with my truck getting way better and most people drive with harder starts from stoplights and such than i do....so it makes me wonder. i might try new plugs when i have the money and maybe a new fuel filter just cuz the truck IS newer to me and its a 01. i have ran a few bottles of red line and other fuel cleaners in my gas and they seemed to help with idle quality. i will try new plugs hopefully sooner than later and see what they do.....thanks
