I am wondering about replacement spark plugs for my '03 5 VE SE 3.4 L v6 motor. I get all kinds of differing information on what to get. Any insights?

This is the plug: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=222781&cc=1418453&jnid=495&jpid=5. It sells for $3 ea. on RockAuto.Com but you will have to pay shipping. Unless the dealer charges you significantly more, just get them from the dealer parts counter. Plugs from the dealer (when you order by your truck's year and model) come pre-gapped, so it saves you time and risk.

+1 for OEM (i.e., Denso or NGK).

For everything you need to know, OP, read The Truth about Spark Plugs.
