    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    DIY. Super easy. The plugs are cheap. OEM wires are not though. Easy to do them. Just don't cross up the wires.

    Id do plugs ever 30-50k personally. But you can check them to see if they need replaced easily. You don't have to remove the intake like he did.

    May try it first with current belt as it's pretty new, but I'll be ready for the other if needed. And you know if there are any issues... You'll get the notification:thumbsup::rofl:

    Also put some shiny valve stem caps on! Old ones were getting dull. Yes, they are spent .40 cal shell casings from my XDM :D

    Just took a razor blade and cut off some of the "ribbed" notches on the plastic caps and pushed the casings on. No glue, just friction holding them on. The old ones were on for over a yr and driven at 85mph at times on the highway :) never lost one.

    Never really noticed that until you said that. Now I like them even more haha. Goes with my plate well too! Nice and subtle. Only AK peeps understand it, and yes I also support 1st responders!
