Default Someone guide me in the right direction regarding plugs

I am going to be changing plugs in my gmc 4.8 soon, and I was wondering what is the "hot ticket" as of late for our trucks?

Many here likethe NGK TR55 gapped around .055. I have been running them quite some time now and am pleased with their performance.

I got mine at )'Riely's for about 12 bucks. I wouldn't think you could save to much by ordering them after shipping and all.

No parts store here stocks them. WHen I ask them to order them, they ask, what vehicle is this for???

I always have to tell them just to order the freaking plugs and mind their business. If I dared to explain, they would tell me that those will not work in your truck....morons

They are the same way here. O'rileys is the only place that can get them here as well. I just tell them to get me 8 TR55 and they have them for me the next day now.

Yea .. I had to go through that when I got mine. The dufus at the counter was like, these plugs aren't recommended for your truck. I said I don't care, they will work. After about 5 minutes of that he finally gave them to me.
