AC Delco/NGK.
IMHO, this is one of the times where the OEM stuff might be the best way to go, especially if your engine is otherwise stock. It's really common to see these trucks get well over 150,000 out of the original plugs and wires. They're kind of expensive but they just last so long it's worth it.
When I had dino burner cars, I did all of my own work, and always used Bosch Platinum plugs for my specific engine and heat. Iridium last the longest life, but are more sensitive to getting hot and causing pinging.
Acdelco plugs....Never had problems with either
I went with Bosch but you really can't go wrong with the 4 vendors you have listed.
Bosch Spark plugs Motul 0W-20 VW oil for the last two oil changes, about 3k miles on the current change AFE air filter Brake fluid flush within last year or so Coolant flush with VW fluid within last year or so Accessory drive belt New belly pan screws and fasteners
I ended up finding a post where somebody was having a similar problem that I was and one of the top comments on that post a guy had said word for word "I hope you don't have Bosch Platinum plugs in there." I ordered NGK ZFR5N copper plugs. I just received them this morning and got work. Gapped them to 0.035. Put them in. Done. Misfire gone. Runs perfect idles like butter.
I ran them for awhile in my Passat VR6.They did decent.Burned really well actually. I think when I was running them I only got about 23 MPG.
I initially got the P0101 code and did the obvious - replaced the MAF sensor. No change, same codes. Goodbye $100.
I have a 1986 blazer and replaced the spark plugs with ac delco factory spark plugs purchased from napa, about 2 months later I was driving the vehicle and the vehicle had a miss then starting blowing out oil from the Pcv vlave from excessively high crank case pressure after electrode fell out.
I’ve heard bad things from mechanics about Bosch, specifically Bosch platinum.
