BTW- That was city mileage, my city mileage and highway happen to be the same. I cruise @ 2200 Rpm and @ 76-79 mph highway so I get 16 mpg across the board now.

I just NEVER have had 16 mpg city before, it was usually 12 -14, I'm not easy on the go pedal either.

Ok great Thanks. Question tho... my local AP doesn't have Denso, they do have NGK, Bosch, Autolite, Motorcraft (single plat - no iridium). Which of these brands would be better for my 4 six W (I checked the VIN)?

NGK or Motorcraft. Stay away from Autolite and especially Bosch.

Thanks guys!

I appreciate the info.

I think it's gonna be the NGK GP Platinum 3403. I would love to run the iridiums, but shoot man... at 6.99 a pop for the NGK 7164's, OUCH

and since I don't have the luxury of time to order them online, I'm between a rock and a financial hard place.

Well fellas... the task is done. COPS and NGK GPower Plats installed and .....
D...A...M...N...!!!!!

The other guy who told me in the beginning that putting in new COPS and Plugs would make my truck run like new and damn if it didn't!!!! HOLY CRAP!! I had some help from a friend of mine who is a mechanic and we took a test ride and found my baby truck went from 0 to 90 in 14.5 secs WITH the AC running!!!

D...A...M...N...!!!!! YEEEEE-HAAAAA!!!

I guess it would be safe to say that I'm a ummmm...Happy Camper???

Thanks to everyone who has given their time, wisdom, information, experiences and what not to aide me in getting my gurl back on track.

YA BABY!! WE BE ROCKIN NOW!!!

Thank you all again so much!! You guys rock!!
