check the gap, twice, then put them in! even if they came pregapped correctly, one little drop on their end by anyone who's touched them could ruin the gap.

most people are going to say .035. try the search function, there are lots of discussions about gaps and plugs.

Spark plugs should never be put in with a "outta the box" gap. I would always check before install. With a truck the has mild boost such as yours say 10-14 psi a .037"-.035" gap would be fine. Those running 15+ should use a tight .035" and people running nitrous or excessive boost such as a Kenne bell should be lower around .032" We use NGK TR6's here for most all of our applications.

Hope this helps,
