Lets talk high mileage maintainence
Recently I feel like my truck is becoming more and more of a slug. It's a 2000 4x4 5.4 with 190k on it.
Low end especially I feel like is suffering. I've had the truck for 50k mi now and have not done anything besides change fluids, replace IAC, TPS and cleaned MAF. She runs great just the lack of power is what's bothering me. I'm going to start with plugs.
Denso plugs
New Cops?
New injectors?
Catalytic converters?
Are there o2 sensors on all 4 converters?
It's been a while since I've had time to really look into all this stuff since I had my daughter 4 months ago. So any help from the veterans on here is greatly appreciated.

I've gone through quite a few plug threads and from what I've read motorcraft is the go to, NGK is about the same and the Denso iridiums TR16 are the best. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Tasca is a Ford dealer, so you'd be geeting OEM parts. They are the cheapest place I've found for OEM parts. I've found some things cheaper there than Chinese after market stuff.
