For plugs, AC Delco CR43TS. Air filter, Fram CA326. Most everything else I just use the Duralast stuff from Autozone except the cap/rotor that I grabbed the Accel one because the Duralast one that was in the truck for under 10k miles had failed.

I use Delphi for everything, AC Delco for plugs. I've had wayyy to many new parts fail that were the cheap brands.

^ this right here. It can be extremely annoying the first few times because you think (well, at least I did) "what the heck is wrong with my truck? part x, y and z are all brand new!!??!!"...yeah...major PITA.

Plugs and wires I use Bosch. I always get plugs that you can't gap so you don't have to worry about making sure the gap is right. Filter I used Fram before putting a K&N air intake kit on the truck. Fuel filter no specific brand. If there's no specific brand I like or usually get I like getting a part that's in the middle price wise. I don't like getting the cheapest thing, but also most parts I don't normally have the money to always get the most expensive, so I just get a part that's in the middle. I always go to Autozone or O'Reilly.

AC Delco. I just fought a issue with the cheaper brand plug wires. Put a BRAND new set of Bosch on, and the wires were arcing. Never again will I use cheap tune up parts. I did get my AC Delco parts from Amazon for about half off tho.
