I have the stock ones on my truck with my Pacesetters and they're starting to melt because they're too close to the exhaust... I want some that wont give me this problem again but all at the same time staying on a budget...

I was using Taylor, but I'm back to stock, same performance, just the quality varies.

Yeah my wire on cylinder 3 or 5 (i cant seem to remember which one it is now) was rubbing the exhaust ever since i put the headers on.. I just want some wires that have the shorter plugs on the spark plug side so they wont rub anymore.

Just use stock. Expensive aftermarket plug wires are pretty dumb.

I have a set of MSD wires on my Silverado. They started life on my camaro some 8years ago and since have about 200,000 miles on them (50K on the camaro then 150K on the truck). I originally got them because the factory f-body wires were a real hassle to deal with. When I relocated my coils in the camaro off the valve covers, I swapped the wires over to the Silverado (just cause).

Like everyone else has said, stock work perfectly fine.

We run more MSD than anything. Some of the other brands have issues w/ wires falling apart. Even on new wires! We have the best luck w/ MSD so that's what we run. If you need a set, we have them on the shelf!
