Mike;
        Excellent question. I would say it depends on the quality of the
pats you are replacing. There are probably people out there running the
original plug wires. On the other hand I am replacing my plug wires about
every 16 months. Luckily they have a lifetime warranty.
        In my truck's case, it's time to replace ignition parts when it
is hard to start on humid mornings.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
