I do intend to keep the truck for the foreseeable future and have been servicing it accordingly (all synthetic fluids, etc.). Based on what you guys have told me here, I think I'll just get whatever Delco ones the dealer parts department gives me when I go to buy everything needed for the 100K service. They look to be a bit of a pain to get out, there's a couple of big wiring harnesses in the way that will have to be unplugged (not to mention just the annoyance of having to stand on a stool and lean way over just to get to the cylinder heads from the top), so I don't want to have to do it again anytime soon if I can help it.
