Default 2001 dodge dakota 4.7 Few questions

I have a 2001 dodge Dakota slt 4.7 with 160k on it Runs a little rough last time i put cheap plugs in it going to replace them soon what is the best plugs to use? Also i am trying to find out if my Dakota had a Key fob /remote to unlock doors when i start driving the doors auto lock does this mean it had a remote at 1 point? the guy i got it from said he thought it did but he lost it how can i tell if it does or not? if it does i wanna get a new remote programmed.

Original Champion copper core seem to work best. Many have issues with platinum or other than copper. Auto lock at 15mph is programmable w/o fob but I don't remember how. If no one remembers how I can look it up in my owners' manual for you.

Stick with OEM copper core plugs. My Dakota ran like doo-doo when I tried switching to platinum. You can get your build sheet and it will tell you if your vehicle came from the factory with remote door locks.

In the area that says "Briefly describe" put "Vehicle Build Sheet" .

If you want to elaborate a little more as to why you want your build sheet, use the additional information area.
