    Well my new spark plugs came today, and they didnt give me the right one's!:mad: They sent me NGK plugs with the single prong, and I ordered the denso's dual prong. Why! Why! I hate this shit!
    Can I use these or should I use the denso's?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Who is they? Did you order them by the make and model of your truck or NGK specifically?

    I would call them ASAP and do a little ass-munching. You didn't get what you paid for.

    Yes they did, when I got my truck and did a plug change I was like WTF? Then I did a bit of research, but there is a sticker somewhere that says use only twin electrode plugs,

    Use only the twin electrode plugs. The Single electrode ones will "work", but you will loose some preformance.
