    It's what toyota says works best, but the last i put in were NGK single electrode and i couldnt tell any difference, still got 18 to 20 mpg. But i put duals in today. So ill keep track for a bit and see if mpg increases.

    Like i said, i have been running singles for 40,000 without any issue. Seems to me a plug is a plug. There is no more spark w/dual elctrodes, if there was everybody would be running E3's or bosch 4x's, split fires ect. Not real sure why they put a warning on there like its gonna jack your motor up or something.

    why would a gas that is harder to burn run better in your low compression truck?

    I dont really care what it is, all i know is the engine doesnt ping and rattle, sounds smoother at idle and during acceleration and that is good enough for me regardless of of any other benefits. Now that i think about it maybe it had something to do with the single electrode NGK's i put in it the last time. May go back to the 87 octane and see if it still pings.

    Is it ok to us the old crush washer? I couldn't find a new one anywhere!

    Cleaned the MAF sensor- I felt it idle a little rough (nothing major) after cleaning it and replacing, but after about 10 miles it cleared up.

    Then washed her
