Whether it has antiseize on them or not, you still have to follow the instructions.
I'd take it to the dealer, ask them to change the plugs, and be prepared to pay $300 or so. This is a job unlike anything else you have ever seen before, it makes me very glad I have a V-6.

Nah, don't ask them for a plug change. Just remove the COP, start up the truck, wait for it to throw a misfire code. Then hook the COP back up, and take it to the dealership for warranty work. Having a misfire, the tech will (should) remove and inspect both the plug and the COP.
