This sucks.......
Even new parts are bad sometmes. Maybe it got dropped and cracked internally.

Good news is you now have 4 good plugs in 1,2, 5, 6. Now take those out and use them in the back 4 since you know they are good, then do the "easy" plugs again with the new ones. If you have another bad one (not likely) it is easier to get to. Also look over the plugs very closely, any cracks, nicks or anything that looks different should be suspect.

Good tip for next time. I just went ahead and did 7/8, tested it, and it ran good. Then I did 3/4 (so easy with ECM removed) and ran the truck again.

Truck runs like a raped ape. Finally put my edge on level 2 program this thing is hauling ***
