I acutally called my local Advance Auto for the BKUR7ETs and they said they were not available and could not even be ordered.
That's when I gave up and ordered the K20TR11s.
I haven't put them in yet, but I will report back when I do.

No, not at all. I explained the situation and we were checking part numbers only. I recognized the guy's voice, I have dealt with him in the store. Very knowledgeable ad nice guy. We probably chatted for at least 10-15 minutes on the phone running down numbers and just chit chatting about the supercharger iteself. He knew what he was talking about.

our trucks have such a volatile spark that it seems to eat up the steel quickly, that is part of the reason that it is beneficial to use like Iridium or copper it is more resistant to the ark of electricity... this is why the stock plugs are dual ground... the electrode is made from a different material preventing a higher degradation... Bosch platnum are no good because the electrode is so small at the tip..

essentially that is what fouling means wearing or having a burnt oil coating that fouls or bad surface that fouls the plug... foul such as foul weather is like not really bad weather but not preferable weather, so non optimally performing plugs are fouled...

I've always considered fouling to be different than wearing. This is what I think of when I hear fouled: http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/techinf...200&country=US
I agree that a single ground strap plug will wear faster with our engines.

Ok if we go by those terms then the plugs are not responsible for fouling unless they are too cold.
I was always taught that wear is fouled as well a generic term for a plug that is worn or dirty enough to prevent optimal performance..
by these terms the auto light plugs from autozone would never foul in 500 mi. but just be worn beyond usability!!
Therefore most posters are misstating their issues... and there is an issue with the engine or air filter rather than the plug it self...
I would be down with that!!! the fact is that most words mean different things to many people and this is the issue with communication in the first place.
for instance if one says to take advantage of some one or some thing it is usually conceived as a negative thing, however what the person is conceiving the word to be is to abuse some one or thing, Due to the fact that taking advantage of your suspension is not necessarily abusing it or taking advantage of a resource rather than abusing it, taking full advantage of your girl friend is not abusing the advantage gained by her being your girl friend is it???
Any who back to the issue at hand......

I've been running BKR7EIX11 since October 2009. I think I gapped them down a little. I tow a 4000lb trailer. So far so good but I haven't pulled the plugs since to look at them. I have a stock 7psi setup with the free FMU. No pinging.

just found this interesting
http://www.passatworld.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=178575
as well the NGK site recommends Part Number: BKR5EKPB-11 * "platnum" or Part Number: BKR5EKB-11 "standard"
so this is for stock heat and the 5 would be the stock heat range and this would be a basis for deciding a heat range of 6 being 1 step cooler and 7 being 2 steps
the 11 at the end being a 1.1mm gap

yes Ngk. I'm not familiar with the LX. IX are iridium afaik and what I bought. basically ngk's version of the denso ik22. Are the LX iridium as well?
If you have a non 'sc motor the stock dual ground bkr5 ngk plugs work the best.
It is likely that some plugs have a better ground lead that can take the 'sc heat better than others. Maybe there is a stock two strap plug two stops colder and forget all the iridium stuff like a bkr7ekb11?
