On the plugs Dodge uses champion copper core and they are rated at 30k miles. I've had the 318, 360, 4.7 and Hemi. I really got @#$%^& about this limited mileage since I have been with the product since '84 with the exception of one Ford. I scanned the www for an alternate that would last longer and couldn't find anything substantial....lotta well I do this and I do that. Personally I think they do that to get you back into the dealership to sell you a new truck.
Recently bought a new truck and it was from the nearest dealer which happened to be a Chevy dealer. It has Iridium plugs and the maint manual doesn't mention them for 100k miles. That's more like it. Oh, and when it is time to change, you can get to them and can do it yourself.....try that with the Dodge on the left rear, under the brake vacuum chamber.
On cleaning the injectors the chem cleaners you can buy at the auto parts store works fine for me. The one from chevron works fine. Besides that's what they put in their gas, just a lot more of it.
On the O2 sensor, they can be cleaned. We did that for my son. Failed his smog test for that reason, cleaned it and he passed. He didn't have the $125 the auto parts store wanted for a new one.
Air filter is a no brainer and at ww. Pull it off, hold it up to the sun and if you can't see light through it get another.
