Newbie, spark plug suggestions

[TomSawyer]

I have a T-100 SR5 with the 3.4L V-6. This engine requires the twin eletrode plug and there are sooooo many to chose from. The parts guy suggested the Bosh Platinum +2 with Yttrium. I read somewhere that Bosh plugs don't perform as well as NKG's in Toyota engines. This truck does everyday truck duties like pulling boats and such and I don't need anything supper high performace. Any suggestions?!?!? Keep in mind cost vs. performance. Thanks

toyota or NGK. I would use the NGK as they are usually a little cheaper than the OEM replacements

I'm another semi-newbie with the same beast, who asked sorta the same question several weeks ago - got some good advice.

There's a whole thread about these spark plugs here.

I used NGK BKR5EKB-11 plugs, and they're workin' much better than what had been in there in the first place.

The thread where I asked, got some very good and important advice and links, and tell the tale of my thumb-fingered work is here.

Welcome to TN!

Danno, who's expecting another load of snow tomorrow.... <sigh>

Thanks for the reply guys, it was very helpful. I gave the auto parts guy the part number Danno posted and he was very suprised to find he had the plugs in stock. A few days before he said they didn't stock NGK plugs for the T-100. Thier system showed that plug to be a single electrode. Anyway the parts guy learned something new that day. Thanks Danno!!! Also, my check engine light came on and the code said it was the 02 censor but the parts dude said to change the plugs first because faulty plugs can cause the computer to display that code. Turns out he was right. I learned something new that day as well.
