Tune Up
I want to tune up my truck for winter, I want the best wires, cap, rotor and plugs. I cant find everything I want at one web site, I found the Taylor wires on one site and the NGK plugs on another. I want to order everything at one place with no shipping charges. What do you guys think is the best and where can I get it all in one place? Part numbers would be hot to.

You may end up compromising.
Rarely do I ever find all the best parts available from one place. My suggestion would be to check locally first. The dollars you spend in your home town are more likely to support those who live there. Indirectly perhaps, but support all the same.
I don't mind spending 10% more to keep the buisness in town.
Now if your town is even close to mine, everything is mailorder
, and there is something to be said for the convenience. It's also like christmas when parts arrive!

My local Auto Zone told me today that the radiator cap for my truck was unavailable through auto zone. I had to order my bilsteins in order to get them. I'm not to confident that I will be able to find upgrade parts at a fair price around here if I cant even find a rad cap without going to the dealer.

Try NAPAonline for the cap. The part number is in a thread around here some where.Rarely are the parts store people paid enough to be very knowledgeable. I usually bring in my own parts list and numbers. All you needed was a 16 lb. cap
, not rocket science. 
Summit is not too bad a choice for wires. You may have to do some leg work on the rest.

Thanks. I found the wires and plugs at a fair price at summit. I also found the thread on the cap and rotor. I got the red Taylor wires to add some color. Red will make it go faster too!!
