RE: Spark plugs question.
Those Champion plugs that come stock are a good copper plug and will always be good in your truck if it is stock or near stock. I currently run Autolite 3923. They are one temp range colder then the stock plug, and help to prevent pinging if you have mods that might advance timing.

I've always heard Bosch's reffered to as crap and heard of lots of people having problems with them. I've heard lots of good things about the Autolite 3923's but I ran them and had what felt to be a mild missfire with them. I couldn't figure out what it was so finally decided to try a set of Champions again and it went away immediately. This has scarred me away from Autolites but I've heard of quite a few people running them no problem.

I have Bosch Platinum +4s in mine. They run great and improved my gas milage.

the best plug hands down for a stock truck is rc12yc champions that came in it if you have a pinging prob due to advanced timing get the autolights or even the rc9yc champs but if you ping check you plenum gasket (search)
