Hello my truck is lacking in power when i step on the gas it bogs a little when driving but more when towing something heavy. I've changed the gas filter checked all the vaccum lines and tested the intake for any leaks. could the spark plugs or the wires cause it to this please help.

Thanks Alex

Yes, the spark plugs could be a problem. Also, another problem could be the fuel injectors. Let's start with the spark plugs. If your spark plugs have a lot of carbon and dirt on them they wont produce a good spark resulting in a misfire. This can easily be fixed by either taking the spark plugs out and cleaning them or simply buying new ones. I would suggest buying new ones since they arent too expensive. If it's the fuel injectors, they are probably clogged or dirty as well. If they arent too badly clogged then you can fix that by adding fuel injector cleaner into your gas the next time you fill up. If they are badly clogged or damaged then you'll have to have new injectors put in.
