Default Need help finding spark plugs

Its time for a spark plug change and I would like to use the same plugs the truck came with, I believe they're NGR LZFR5C-11. I can't find these darn things anywhere on the internet. All the OEM part sites want 8 bucks per plug and it doesn't say what kind of plug it is. Anyone have suggestions?

Well I found out that these plugs aren't available on the aftermarket, you can only get them at the dealer. I guess I'll just go with the NGK platinums and not worry about it for another 100k miles.

I don't really know either....I've read about people using platinums with no problems and also read that its not recommended.

I would get OEM. I tend to trust the manufacturer of the engine for items like that on a basically stock engine. There has been horror stories of different plugs in the 3rd gen Hemi.

Unfortunately I feel the same way about keeping engine parts OEM. I'll head over to the dealer and see what they want for 16. If its 8 bucks a plug like the OEM part websites charge then forget it.
