Are you going for truck #3 in under one year, or are you just stirring the pot?

Sure it's louder, rides rougher, doesn't brake as well, and costs more to keep it up.
That's all part of it.

the plugs have been changed and so have the heads. the change took place somewhere in mid 07. they now take a more conventional looking plug. if your trucks coil boots are brown you have the new plugs. if they are black you have the old ones.

there would be no need. anything you could buy new now will have the new plugs anyways.

You should be safe from what I have been reading. If ya need a hand give me a holler. On another note, what do ya think of the new Joe's Place. I was there today for a couple hours patching a couple holes in the block work. It should be nice if it ever opens. Joes shooting for mid-late Nov I think.

he is probably not aware of the change. your truck should not have the plugs that are prone to breaking. check to see what color the coil boots are.
