    Just had my maintenance service, new plugs and throttle body cleaned.....what a big difference! feels like a big difference just in throttle control alone! could be just me being hyped up that the mech told me my truck is in perfect condition!

    stupid rant but felt like bragging :D

    How does that affect your trend data on plug gapping?

    Seems that almost all of the plugs from the factory have been gapped wrong. Given the milage of Ak27's plugs, they may have been gapped around .035 or less from the factory.

    NGK on one side, Denso on the other. Best plug to use (I have found) is the Denso's.
