04 4.7 hesitation
What is the recommended change out time for the coils?
My 04 Dakota has 160,000 on the clock.
I changed plugs back at about 140,000.
It has just recently started the hesitation under acceleration.
Since the plugs are relatively new, I am thinking it may be a coil or two.
What kind of plugs do most people run in these 4.7 V-8's?

I cleaned the TB a few thousand miles back.
No codes are showing up.
I did have a code that was for the transmission, but that cleared, too.
I think I will change plugs again and clean the TB again.
If that doesn't fix it, I'll swap the coils out.
I found a set on Amazon for $90 a set, including shipping.

Just an update:
I did pull the throttle body off and cleaned it really good a few days back.
That had no effect on the engine, but it made me feel better.
I went ahead and got new plugs and coils and swapped them out today.
That thing runs like a spotted-assed ape now!!
I love this truck.
My kids and grandson are always trying to get me to buy myself a new one and give them this one, but no dice.
They can find their own little red truck !!
