3923 for standard 4.7
3922 for 4.7 H.O.

Check at 6,000 miles for carbon build up. Move to 3923 if your driving habits results in carbon on plugs... or change your driving habits...

Change them out every 12~15,000 miles. They are only like $20 for all 8.

And yes, searching could lead you an entire day of reading about this subject.

To answer your next question; the gap difference between .35 & .40 is minor, pick whichever you like, or split the difference. Just know that with use the gap will widen, more so than platinum or iridium does as the copper is weaker.
