What type of spark plugs are recommended for a 4.7 V8. Is there anything better than the stock plug or just go with stock plugs?

I went with the Copper Champion original plugs when I had my '05. In fact I changed them just months before trading it for the '16.

The gap was about 1/4" and since I owned the truck since 75,000, I believe they were the original plugs, and it was at 120,000 when I changed them.

Maybe not.

I did Mopar plugs at 60k. The original plugs were fine when I pulled them out.

You did all 16 plugs or just the top ones?
I did just top set, I'll do all 16 at 110-120k, supposed to do them at 90-100k but going to do them all at once. The bottoms are iridium if I'm no mistaken

My truck has 80k on it now. I bought it at 67k. I don't think precious owner did any plugs so I will be doing them soon. Hopefully don't run into problems.

You shouldn't... Might be a little early but might as well do all 16
