Been thinking of where I wanna put my cheapo walmart lights, took them off of the bumper. Been eyeballing a few spots.... Can't make up my mind.

Switched the girl over to Geico, monthly payment went from $108 (StateFarm) to $35 (Geico). $73 a month saved!!!! Hell, that's a tank of gas.

Holy cow... I was only paying $350 every 6 months for full coverage on the Dakota. I've got 5 vehicles insured at the moment. 2 with full coverage. Costs me right at $1500 every 6 months. Most expensive is the Mustang with liability only because it is driven by my daughter who just got her license (inexperienced driver surcharge). Her car alone, with only liability is @$200 a month. The other 4 are chump change in comparison.

Back on topic, pulled the plugs (starting with #8), they all look almost new, but they do appear to be platinum which is not good for these trucks, right? I know my Dakota ran best with plain ol cheapo copper core autolite's.

Plain copper is usually the most recommended here, but, if the truck has platinum plugs and is running fine I would leave them.

If platinum works GREAT, but copper ALWAYS works... If you're towing tho use two ranges colder from the platinum plugs that cross-references from the factory copper plug.
