Stock Champions. Autolite 3923's. There is a poll in the faq section on what plugs folks use. Have a look. Don't bother with the high-zoot rare-earth plugs.... (platinum, iridium, etc.) our trucks don't really care for them.

Im using NGK V-Power. No problems. I had the Autolites and didnt like them, and I never cared for Champion.

+1... And for more info on the same subject that has been gone over 6 million times, look at the sticky in the FAQ section that has been suggested already.

I have experienced champion plugs in a variety of applications, from automotive, to wood chippers..... (yeah, I get to play with some cool toys. wood chipper powered by a 318. ) I never really liked them either. They foul out once, and they were done.... I have resurrected more than one no-start by simply replacing the champion plugs.......
