I think I'll be doing this once it warms up a little.

I saw someone asked this before but I don't think anyone answered it yet. Should we stick with EM or is there a preferred aftermarket? I usually always do OEM everything. And they should come pregapped?

Everyone will have a different opinion on this but for a relatively stock truck I'd recommend going with the OEM SP-534s (I'm considering an SCT 3315 and even with the various tuners I'll likely stay with the OEMs for that as well). I just don't see the Brisk plugs as being worth almost three times the cost. Just my two cents.

The statistical significant of the OP's observed fuel economy changes approach zero.

I, the OP, did not state it was statistically significant. It is anecdotal at best but it has been my experience so far.

As for your post, one would think, being an "eye surgeon" you would know the proper word used should have been significance (and not significant). You may want to get your eyes checked.

Sounds good to me and worth a shot! Found the plugs for about 4 bucks apiece and 4 bucks shipping. Total was about 27 bucks………. If works great… if not I still have fresh plugs and I know they will be properly gapped! I'll let you know if my mileage improves…… thanks!!
