    FOR IRIDIUM TIPPED PLUGS:
    A new spark plug has been released for use in the above vehicles. The new spark plug has an Iridium tip instead of the current Platinum tip. Due to the different tip design, the gap of the spark plug has also changed. The new spark plug, P/N 12571164 with AC Delco P/N 41-985, is gapped to 1.01mm (0.040 inches)

    ALL OTHERS: it said should be gapped at .060" on stock engines for the ls engine based trucks.

    Most TR6 that I have installed came out of the box between .035 and .038, and with N2O, that is okay. I think his Escalade is still stock.

    Correct. I checked the gap on them every time to make sure they were close, and there were all around .35-.36
