Can someone give me a quick answer as to which plug is better? I hear everyone on here talking about the APP985 but went to Walmart today and could only find the AP985 which I'm assuming the only difference is they are not double platinum. I looked at several other places and could not find the APP985. Am I alright with just the AP's or should I make a trip to Autozone and get APP's?

Thanks!

PP = double platinum. You wouldn't want to be caught with only single platinum, now would you? APP985 is the one to get.

Looks like I will be returning the AP's and getting the APP's! Thanks for all your help everyone!
Good decision, the AP985 can eventually cause hard to diagnose problems with a rough running engine with the newer 4.0L distributorless engines. It's with the older non-fussy 4.0L with a distributor where the AP985 is an excellent choice and what I run in my '97 4.0L engine. :)

Thanks for your help everyone. I returned the AP's and now have the APP's. Getting ready to install them but have one more question. If I remember correctly, I saw on here someone stating that you gap them to .035. Napa, where I got them, states .040. Which one is it, or does it make that big a difference??

they should be pre-gapped to 0.035 out of the box. That is the gap you want. So, other than double checking the gap on each plug just to be safe, go ahead and install them :cheers2:
