Looks like I'll be pulling plugs tomorrow and possibly replacing them all with a step colder and regapped. I'll let you all know what they were after I pull them....

I'm telling you, the more time I spend on this forum, the more and more that gets added to my list of things lol.

Just replaced my stock plugs with a set of NGK LTR6IX-11's gaped to .032 this morning. We'll see how she runs with the new plugs.

Here are some pics of the stockers. I re-gaped them down to .035 a few months ago when this thread was started.

Do not text and drive lol. I have the ngk plugs and have had zero problems in 10kish miles. I have a set of autolites to put in but haven't gotten around to it. I have no cut out issues at redline.

stock plugs gapped down to .032 from .045 here.

different plugs are not needed, but gap definitely needs to be checked as all trucks vary.

see link in my sig for more info.

Checked mine yesterday.
All 6 were .039.
Changed to .032.
Haven't focused on whether my idle has smoothed or not. I thought it was already pretty smooth but a coworker who also owns an EB said it felt rougher than his.
