Autolite APP5143 is the double platinum version(PP) for the 4.0l SOHC 2006 and up.

If you don't use double platinum then I wouldn't bother with single platinum.

I saw one listing at rock auto for APP5143 listed as closeout $0.77 each 12 left, but I would double check that they are PP, but even if they are not, 77 cents each! shipping will cost more than the 6 spark plugs, lol, and they will last long enough to meet their 77 cent price.

Yes the iridium are fine to use.

The 4.0l SOHC has a couple of hard to get to spark plugs, so the longer they can last the better, which is why the double platinum can be worth the extra cost.

I had to buy 8 plugs from rock auto(packs of 4). Still a good deal at $5 each for the iridium xp-5143. I got a new set of MC wires and a MC air filter too. All for about $95.

Installed the plugs and wires and truck is running very good. I needed a new MAF a week ago and between the 2 repairs the truck is running sweet. Pinging and other nonsense is gone!

I have changed easier plugs but not the toughest either. I removed the passenger side tire and inner fender to get at those 3 plugs.

thanks again for the help Ron. trucks seems to appreciate the new MAF, plugs, wires and air filter!

Good work :icon_thumby:

I put a can of Seafoam in the gas tank of my fuel injected cars/trucks once a year, they seem to idle smoother by the next tank of gas, so twice a year probably wouldn't hurt but I am cheap :)
