All I can say is when I had my '01 I tried the one heat range colder
ones I run on my '96 and they made it run a little rougher. The direct
replacement Autolites were a good plug though. They made the truck
actually run a little smoother than the Champions did most likely due to
the longer electrode. One thing I did notice in your post though. Do Not
run platinum plugs on the 4.7 or 5.7 for that matter. These are coil on
plug engines and the platinum plugs can burn out the coils over time.

Subject: DML: Spark Plugs
I know this question has been addressed a million times however I was
unable
to access the archives site this AM to find an answer.
I am replacing the spark plugs in my 2000 4.7 Dakota this weekend. I
bought
Autolite Platinum 5224 plugs, however I was reading my FSM last night
and it
stated that I should only use exact replacements. I assume that the
Autolite
are exact since that what the part book stated as the correct plug. Is
this
correct can I use the Autolite Plug or should I use an alternate plug.
Thanks
