Default Misfire

Took my truck in today and I have a misfire cylinder 2. I had extreme stuttering when I will be in 40 to 50 mph and trying to accelerate slowly. Going to do spark plug change what spark plugs should i install?

It's probably your coil. I used Champions 7989 because didn't want to worry about broken plugs in the future. I have 25k on mine trouble free. Some will tell you they are good and other will tell you they're not. Most of the people in here that say the Champions suck have not used them so just giving you the heads up on what your going to be hearing in here.

Coil packs have to come off to change plugs anyway, so if your doing plugs its no additional work to do any coils that need to be replaced too.
