    Just did mine this past weekend for the first time. Just shy of 112k. They looked fine and gap was still in spec.

    Yeah funny you bumped this thread, I actually just did my spark plugs change over the weekend and was able to do it without much removal. Passenger side is no big deal at all. Driver's side requires a couple of brackets to be loosened and some hoses to be moved around. Took a little while but I don't work very fast.

    I went with the
    $11 IKBH20TT Denso Spark Plug Iridium TT - 4705
    IKBH20TT plugs and they are working perfectly. I did however gap them all down to .30. they were something like .44 out of the box.

    The IBKH20TT(4075) has a thinner center electrode than the OEM FK20HBR8(3491) and is probably the reason for difference in gap spec.
    It's not recommended to adjust gap on these plugs; Denso warns against it.

    But, as always, you do you.

    good info, thanks. I looked through all of the threads on here mentioning the 4075 plugs and whether there was precedence on gapping them down to factory spec but couldn't find anything conclusive, so I went for it. I took extreme caution bending the arm. Truck seems to run good with them, I might even say it feels a little more lively, but can't prove that. I'm heading out on a 3,000 mile road trip next week, so they'll get a workout. :D

    My dealer said that some of the V6s were 60K and some were longer - wonder if that has to do with which plugs they came from the factory with. They specifically said mine was not needed at 60K and I just did my differentials.

    Ready for a new mechanic but i'll still take those free oil changes!

    Iridium plugs are 100,000miles+ 60k is too soon but that's what the engineers are calling for.

    The old original post was a mix up from the dealer regarding the old standard plugs from the 05-15 models that were every 30k.

    I had mine replaced at 65K by dealer, still looked good, and I think I could have waited.
