Chris is right, Toyota is one Company that I use only OEM for everything on the truck.

Please elaborate.

1. How would a plug brand over heat the engine?
2. How would this have more of a bearing if one had the FIPK?

I have had both for some time now, but recently (60+ K miles later) the truck is kinda without power....could be this stupid exhaust too....

I run B+4's in my 95 Tacoma, 96 Rav4, and 84 truck. I just replaced all 3 sets - the highest mileage on a set was 56,000. All run very smoothly. I would recommend them if you don't want to change your plugs very often.

i think the +4 plugs are a gimmick for any car. you're only going to get 1 arc anyway, why add in a bunch of useless electrodes that get clogged up with carbon?

i had bosch platinums in my '84, noticed some funny skipping on the tach every now and then but they worked fine otherwise. i only run ngk now though
