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.
