For the cap and rotor, any brass cap and rotor will do. I used a Berg & Warner (B&W) unit because thats what O'Reillys had.

For the wires, MSD is usually recommended. I grabbed a set of Autolite Professional wires because it was the best I could find locally, but if you are ordering them, the MSDs are good.

And alot of ppl go to synthetic with no probs, the only downfall is it could develop a leak

Synthetic is easier on engine components and may help you squeeze slightly more gas mileage and power out of your truck. And you can go twice as long before changing it (compared to regular dino stuff).

Champion Truck plugs or Autolite 3923s for spark plugs is what I'd suggest. Next time I change plugs from these Iridiums, those are what I'm going to try.
