    The things required to pull bitches
    I usually replace my plugs at 15-20k doesn't hurt, I get those plugs for about 2 bucks each through a hook up.

    Thanks for the good advice everyone. My truck passed. Here's the latest spreadsheet and what I did to prepare.

    -Changed the oil and filter
    -Changed the spark plugs and wires (the no. 2 spark plug was rusted to the boot)
    -Put five ounces of Seafoam into the vacuum line
    -Filled the gas tank with 89 octane
    -Drove the truck for 65 miles immediately before the test at freeway speeds

    On a side note, remember that I replaced the MAF sensor after the 2010 smog check because it failed on me.

    I don't know what made the biggest difference here but at least it passed. That's all I care about.
