do you mean it was spinning tires and you couldn't get out or that the whole truck actually wouldn't do anything at all?

I don't think plugs and wires are a concern at this point.

No tire spin at all???

Could be many things - No forward or reverse in any gear and transfer case engaged?

was it just when you put it in reverse that it wouldn't do anything? what happened when you put it in drive? Did it work after you got unstuck or does the truck still not do anything when you try to drive it? I would like to suggest some parts: Ford Racing 9mm plug wires, autolite standard copper plugs, msd cap + rotor, msd blaster tfi coil, K&N drop in air filter, and a K&N Oil Filter, if your gonna do a tune up at some point.
