I agree with Ron !00% DO NOT let these trucks go 100k before changing the spark plugs. I have seen so many issue from plusg not coming out, not able to get a spark plug socket onto the plug do to so much dirt down in the plug hole, and also have pulled plugs out that literally had nothing left to them and was amazed the truck ran. My personal suggestion is 45k for plug changes. And yes go to the longer threaded plug.
