if your truck was running a bit rough you probably needed to secure your radiator overflow tank better. worth a shot, cheaper than a tune just sayin lol

for all the folks who couldn't sleep because they were wondering....

I checked the sticker under the hood, it does indeed call for .052-.056" gap spark plugs.

Now the dilemma, to gap at .52, .53, .54, .55, or .56. So many choices.

if you get one of the real fancy gauges you can even do craziness like .0525, .0530, .0535... I could go on

do the tolerances on anything in these engines from 1994 even get down to ten thousandths of an inch? I think not
