Hell yeah, that will help out. Haven’t posted much in this thread but I’ve been keeping up on it. Glad you got a van and stuck around.
Well i was wondering if i should or not after selling my suburban but after thinking about it the van is more or less, mostly a GMT 400.
What were the new plugs gapped to? .060" is better than .075", but they really ought to be down closer to .050". I run .045" with the blowers in the trucks.
The new plugs were gapped at .060. I have messed with plug gaps on the same 7.4l before and did not see any real difference so i just left em alone.

Some systems are set up that they have to have a certain number of key cycle misfires before will set a code. Fords have large misfire counts before CEL.
