I put platinums in the F150. No discernable performance/fe differences whatsoever.

I put "pulse plugs" in one of the Tempos. They work well enough too. Not saying they are any better, but they work.
Whoa! - no... I hadn't noticed this before, but I'll clarify now - The "Techs" I was referring to are "Automotive Repair Technicians". They're the GM licensed repair guys that work at the dealership.

The worst part about that experience was hearing that same line of crap from more than one dealer's "technicians". It was as if they'd been fed some line of garbage about how installing bosch platinum plugs might void the warranty or something... (I'm sure there was a TSB on it, at some point.. it just sounds like something GM would say.)
