Very true. I do that every time. Even clears pesky misfire codes. Rovers take time to adjust new stuff put in them.

Thanks mln,
No codes or symptoms of problems that I need to address. Truck had 130k on it when I bought it in Dec 2009. Truck now has 188k on it and I had never changed the plugs or wires out since I've owned it. It's just running a little sluggish currently.....nothing major. I should also mention that I will also give it an oil and filter change.
