don't go with the suggested. go to your parts store and tell them you want
the 3923's. they'll try to stiff you with the "suggested," just don't tell
them the engine.

So which ones are best? Every where I go I get 5224's suggested for my
truck. The 3923 seem like a totally different plug. Also is Platinum or
double platinum best?

Does taking off the air hat give a good access to the plugs? It sure is a
mess under that hood.

Thanks for all the info guys.
