When I change my plenum gasket, I'm gonna switch to some NGK V-Power plugs.
My truck liked to occasionally ping at WOT with the V-powers, but otherwise, they were good plugs. It may have just been the Superchips tuner, I don't know. We'll see after I get the truck back from the body shop (Monday) and program it with the SCT.

Also, if your truck does not like the 3923s, try some Champion RC11YC plugs. They are the same (colder) heat range as the 3923s. I'm looking for an NGK cross refrence.
According to several parts websites, the stock heat range NGKs are the ZFR6F11 plugs. That would mean, since the higher the number the colder the plug for NGKs (silly Japanese manufacturers), the next heat range colder would be ZFR7F11.

Thanks! I might make a spark plug cross-refrence for the FAQ section if I ever feel like it.

Default Gap on Autolite 3926

So what did we figure is the best gap on the Autolite 3926's for a 5.9? Some say .45, any conflicting ideas? Thanks
