Thanks you guys..........I had no idea that 87 octane was recommended for my truck....i barley put in the autolite plats in and they are already starting to miss when i accelerate. Maybe autolites arent good. By the way how do i get the carbon build up out of the engine? I got totally different opinions about this subject i guess ill try every one until it works for me. But over 170,000 miles with out a major problem I must be doing something right. Just that annoying miss when i accelerate is my concern. hey james's f_1_fiddy01 whats that disc rear all about (keep me updated) Anyway i appreciate all your responses and opinions !! It helps me to learn more about my truck as it ages and helps me to keep it running. I will keep yall updated and thanks Joseph, Tom, travlnman, james's f_1_fiddy01 and BlueOvalFitter for taking time out to help me out i owe yall big time.(I still got my ears open to any more suggestions)

"Chingao!" LOL!!
Maybe you should start another thread on how to get the carbon build-up out of the engine. I think several members would benefit from a thread like this?

Chingao,

did you say that you installed Autolite spark plugs and that they were bad? did you remove them? what did you replace them with?

He could chuck alot as long as Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers and then went to the beach to see his girlfriend. She's really nice cause she sells sea shells by the sea shore.

If he were a smart wood chuck he would pick a peck of Motorcraft platinum plugs to get to the sea shore to help his girl friend sell those sea shells!

Tommy,you are gapping them right.The problem is,they are not Motorcraft plugs! Autozone sells them or you can get them at Ford.I bought mine from Ford for $3.50 each; AGSF-42FM platinum.Autozone wanted $4.49 each.
