Default Recommended tune up parts?

Can someone point me in the right direction? Need to do a tune up on my 98 durango 5.2l. Just bought it in January so new to us. What does Dodge recommend as far as wires, plugs, cap, rotor?
Thanks!!

Oil change a filter is good too,, An trans fluid,, If you didn't do it when you 1st got it then I would do these with the tuneup An make sure you have aintifreeze so you be ready for winter days to come,,

Oil change and trans service have already been done. Truck started running funky. Hubby ran codes, missing on 2 wires. Thanks.

Cleaning the throttle body would be a good idea too

Dont forget air filter if you haven't changed that. I use Spectre. Same as K&N but half the price.
