Default Tune up this weekend, need some advice

SO Last weekend I changed the oil. This weekend I intend on doin the plugs, wires and rotor and cap. Im lookin for some tips on what plugs/wires to get. I have an 01 1500 4x4 with the 5.2 . Im gonna take a look tonight to see if i have the plenium leak and deathflash. To fix the plenium leak, is that a part that any Napa/Autozone or parts store will have or do i need to get it from the web? Any advice is welcome. Be nice Purple

I will, you ****ing *******! J/K!

Best plugs to get would be Champion Copper Cores or NGK V-Powers ($15 for a set). NAPA Belden wires ($35), NAPA Echlin cap and rotor ($20). The unbeatable combination.

The plenum repair is made by APS Precision and Hughes. APS has a kit that comes with everything you need. Hughes you have to buy the intake bolts from them separately, and they have a crappy gasket that comes with their kit, so you have to but another Fel-Pro plenum gasket from Autozone. Dealing with Hughes seems like a hassle to me, I'm gonna get the APS kit.

Rob, read my sig at the bottom for another possible plug/cap/rotor/wire combo. No need to check for a deathflash, you have it. The TB needs to be removed to properly check for the plenum leak. Which I will also almost garentee you have. So pick up a new TB gasket to put on when reinstalling the TB.
