So where can I get the NGK platinums? I can't find them on the internet. Do you have to get them at the dealer like the oem NGK plugs?

This will all play out over the next 2 years. The 2nd Gen 5.7 Hemi is to young to know for sure what real world will be like with plugs outside the stock brand.

If you go by the 1st Gen 5.7 Hemi you do NOT want to put in anything but the orginal brand. You can do searches in the 3rd Gen section and get a boat load of info on that.

Nope, just plain copper plugs.

If you put some NGKs in there and a coil pack craps out or it seizes in the head then they have something to come back at you with. Its not like the old days when a dealer would just fix it no matter what. Car companies are broke and are getting to be real bears about non-OE parts. Sounds silly but why take a chance, if you put plugs in it that last 100K they still expect you to change them at 30K.

I'll most likely swap the plugs myself, i have both the RAM and a 2010 Jeep with the Hemi, sad thing is the little Jeep looks like it has more room to change the plugs than the giant Ram. I'll find out soon enough I guess..

now if someone can find them from a non-dealer supplier so they will not cost $4-5 a piece it would be great.
also, do some checking on this forum before you do it yourself. one of the dodge mechanics said it was easier to remove the fender shrouds and change them from the wheel wells.
