Get Mopar Performance wires from the dealer. Replace the cap and rotor with ones that have Brass Contacts. Echlin from NAPA does a good job or Mopar Performance. The dealer should have all the Mopar Performance parts on the shelf.
Dealer O2 sensros are the best. I got 170k+ on mine!

Might sound too easy but check the O2 fuse under the hood, if its blown the heater circuit for the sensors will not work and will throw multiple codes. That fuse powers the heater circuit for the O2 sensors. Happened to me and all I did was replace the fuse and all was well.
UPDATE:
Well, I followed the advice I received here: Even though it got a tune-up in August, last Saturday I went ahead & had the irridium spark plugs & aftermarket wires replaced with Champion copper plugs & OE wires. We also replaced the aftermarket O2 sensor with a Dodge sensor. Expensive . But worth it?
Today is Wednesday & the CEL has not yet reappeared. I'm cautiously pleased. It has come back so often in the past that I don't want to celebrate too soon. But this is the longest "lights out" so far. I might be able to pass inspection in time after all. Tranny is still acting up, but hey ... one thing at a time.
Thanks for the advice guys.
On my R/T, putting it in reverse does put a good thump/clank noise. But I think that thump is coming from the Transfer case. I took it to various dealers while it was still under OEM warranty and all of them said this thumping noise when throwing in reverse is normal.
Could be backlash setting on the differential. This is my problem! Going to be doing it this weekend.
As usual, I jinx myself by opening my big mouth too soon. Who'da thunk it? Light came on this morning, reading P0135, indicating the upstream 02 sensor. I'd made a mistake before ... that replacement sensor came from NAPA, not the dealership. Anyway, it's been ordered now from Dodge and will be put in tomorrow. At this point I just don't know. But the ball is still rolling along ...
. But worth it?
