    Bad gas should not make the plugs to go bad. They may need to be removed, cleaned with a wire brush, then reinstalled. But make sure you look closely at the plugs. If you think they need to be replaced, they probably do. Replace them with the NGK TR-55 plugs at about .045 gap. They recommend .060, but it will spark better at .045... Also, the filter may need replacing. If you do go ahead and take the bed off, make sure you replace other stuff as well. You may wanna go with a Walbro 255l/ph fuel pump while you are at it...

    There have been a number of news reports about gas stations putting water in their tanks - I guess they&#39;re taking a hit too. Anyway, there&#39;s a kit you can use to quickly tell if there&#39;s water in the gas. Might want to look into that...
