Thanks for the info! Based on the amount of spare time, or lack thereof,
that I currently have, I'll have to let the .050 gap go for awhile before I
can start dialing them in!

My Dak did this after some mods were done also, I think it may be the
computer just readjusting. Mine only did it once also. By the way, I have a
MSD 6-Offroad box also, and I originally gapped the plugs at .050(.035 was
stock) and this weekend I gapped them to .044, and the truck appears to run
better. The .050 might have been a little too open for my V6.
