    For me went I was ready for new plugs,I stay with A/C Delco. Iridium Plug's.But it depends on what you are looking for in a plug,and what Performance Mods you have put on your Ride.I've been pleased with the A/C Delco Plugs.I have not really looked into some of the aftermarket plugs,maybe someone else can give you some input on them

    NGK IXIRIDIUM are great plugs. TR5IX is the plugs for your truck I think.

    Iridium plugs have it hands down over platinum. The GM iridium are designed for your combustion chamber and that's what I use. Everyone has their own favorite plug but if you Google "spark plug comparison" you can read up on spark plugs and decide for yourself. Have Fun!

    I just got Bosch +4 plugs in my truck last week. I can really tell a difference in throttle response and the ease in starting my truck. I seem to get more acceleration with them too, i also got new spark wires the day after, and i noticed another increase in the same areas with new wires. I recommend them, i like mine a lot.
