Best spark plugs!!!

Well i have been told by several people that platium spark plugs are the best..But i would like to here everyone input...Right before my dad sold be the truck we put some autolite platium sparks plugs in there 10,000 miles or less on them..Recently i bought a ignition tune up kit which consisted of wires cap and rotor and cooper accel plugs...Should i put these plugs in or is what i'm running better...

Thanks Brad

Autolite 5150's are also very good. Avoid platinum plugs in these trucks.

they just don't last for most people.

the engines seem to run better with copper plugs than with plats.

do a search for many posts on this subject already on this forum for more info.

Copper plugs burn hotter than platinums. The only benefit in running platinums is that they are supposed to last 100k miles. Personally, I'd rather have a fresh set of better performing COPPER plugs in my truck every 20k - 30k than platinum plugs every 100k.
