Use the Denso's from the dealer, they run about $2/plug. Those are OEM and work the best in the Toyota engines. Also, you should change them out now since you're at 50k w/o a change. I check them every 15K and change them at the 30k services (30, 60, 90, etc.).

BTW, welcome to the board. Model, engine and pics are always a great help, especially in your signature, so others can help you with your truck. Also, the flashing green button of death above is a great help for resources.

i say go for NGK. we ran them in all our gas engines, our boat, the Tundra, Tecel, Accord, and my 83. my dad had bought the toyota factoy denso's for the tundra, and within a week had NGK in it, and it ran better.
