OK NO PROBLEM I'LL SIT HERE AND LOOK FOR IT. AND WHEN I FIND OUT I WILL TELL THE NEXT PERSON THAT ASKS. BECAUSE FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK YOU TO WRITE "LOOK FOR IT, IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED" YOU COULD HAVE JUST TOLD ME. WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT JUST TELLING SOMEONE?? I HOPE I NEVER TURN INTO YOU.

ANYWAY I ORDERED THE MAGNECOR'S FROM TONY MIKE AND I WILL BE BUYING THE IRIDIUMS FROM AUTOZONE SINCE THEY ARE THE SAME PRICE AS THE +4'S ON TONY'S WEBSITE. PLUS I DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR SHIPPING. I'LL GIVE YOU A RING WHENEVER THE PLUGS GET HERE. THANKS

MIKE MY DISCO IS A 2002 WITH 79000 MILES. WHAT PLUGS AND WIRES WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?

I would suggest you stay with the Magnacor 8 mm wires and Bosch Platinum Plus 4 plugs.

I agree with Mike, and in the future, you may want to post ing the Discovery section, you will get faster answers there. Not too many remarks like ajh....

Look through that forum if you want to see what kinds of things to look for, and there is a 60K service list Mike has posted that is a must if you don't know the full history of your truck..
