Thanks.
I was in the market for some new tools, and didn't know if it was going to be metric. Seems like other items are on this truck.
Anyway, thank you for the info.

What kind of plugs are you putting in ?
I thought the plugs were good for 100,000 miles ?

100k is bad mojo for plugs.. i hate to tell you how many heads i have to replace because when you wait that long the plugs have a tendency to remove some of the threads with them . at the dealership i used to work for we called it the 100 thousand mile head replacement.. i do mine every 30 k regardless.... and some more info platinum plugs are a waste of money.. i have corrected thousands of misfire codes .. when a small piece of carbon breaks off and causes the plug not to fire .. the piece was small enough on a platinum plug it would not fire and if it was a normal plug it would continue to fire and just burn off. just my .02 worth .................................................. .............. rich

I'm not changing plugs yet, but I read about the head being a problem if you wait for the 100,000 mile change out.
I just wanted to get a new, light tool kit made up to carry in the back, and felt that a nice new gap & feeler guage, as well as a plug socket would be a good addition.

Any idea of the proper gap size for these plugs? Are the AC Delco OEM replacements already gapped to size? Thanks!
