I'd stick with good ol copper core if it came with them originally. I know on my 05 (4.7L), I tried platinum and the truck ran like doodoo. I just used champion copper core and changed them every 30k.

If they are not giving any issues, I wouldn't.

There's no need to change a coil pack unless it fails. Aftermarket coil packs are probably more "junk" than the OEM.

X2 on the Champion Copper Core. Copper conducts better than any of the other materials out there and the coil packs were designed for them.
