Bosch Spark Plugs

I was wondering if anyone has tried out the Bosch Platinum +4 spark plugs on the older 92-96 F150s? I have heard that they didnt run very good on these models. Anyone got any info...

IMO Platinum spark plugs are a waste of money. I just go for regular motorcraft spark plugs.

Bosch Plats (in my experience) are good for 4 cylinders and maybe some 6's, but don't do the job on V-8's. BP's just don't have a long life span nor do they offer any mileage perks.

I have yet to have a problem with AutoLites, still made in the USA
http://www.autolite.com/ I've been using them in everything but the lawn mowers.

I've used Bosch platinums in both my '93 5.0 F150 & an '86 Mustang SVO. Both ran poorly with them. I've had the best luck with Autolite Double Platinum.
