Ok so I have been putting off the plug change for a while now, I'm at 49,000 miles. Truck is starting to idle a little ruff, the gas mileage has gone down hill big time, It has a tendency to stuble if you accellerate hard from idle, but it is throwing no codes as of now. I have read so many horror stories on changing these plugs I don't know what to do. I was planning on buying the Lisle tool in advance, anyone have the part number for it?
So which plugs has everyone had the best luck with?

Thanks in Advance, Kenny

So what is the difference in the two plug numbers you listed?

Anyone got the part number for the Lisle removal tool?

How many miles on the fuel filter? Has the MAF ever been cleaned? Has the trottle body been cleaned? You may want to do those, too. If you are not familiar with how, do some looking at the index in the Articles and How To. There is a thread there on how to change the plugs that will have a lot of your answers as well.
