It's not a super sexy performance plug, but I just replaced my stock plugs last November with the exact same plugs. I used AC Delco ACF 41-110 Irridium plugs. My stock ones had over 120k miles on them when I decided to freshen up the fluids and ignition at which time I was getting ~18.4 mpg on my 5.3 so I stayed with them. I gapped them according to my manual specification as follows:

99-03 = .060
04-07 = .040
