Good trucks never die
Bought my 1999 F150 XL Supercab new and it has outlasted my marriage. I was thinking of selling it to help pay divorce bills. I've recently replaced the front rotors and pads (189,000 miles and warped), then just put the second set of plugs in (Autolite APP 103's; one heat range colder) and new wires. Drove it this weekend to a truck and tractor pull (no I didn't compete) and it drives so smooth, with snappy throttle response, it's going nowhere but with me!

I know everything changes, but Autolites were the only plug that lasted at all in my 1970 442 and I've never been disappointed by them. You may be right; I had forgotten that I drank the Bosch multi- electrode Kool-Aid last time I put plugs in the F150. The way they looked a book of matches would have been a step up.
