30,000 mile plugs but it doesn't meen they need replacement I work for chrysler I would wait till about 50 or 60 thousand remeber just because there is not a problem doesn't meen they should not be replace at the recommened intervals. they are considered a wearable item. when you do the plug do the wires. words of advise when doing the ignition wires do ONE WIRE AT A TIME it will save u from a big headache. Good luck.

You should replace your spark plugs at 30,000 miles if you have the owners manual and look in the maintenance section it will give you chryslers suggested maint..schedule but if you have a regular technican that services your vehicle and you trust this person have them do a 23 point inspection and see what needs to be brought up to date every car/truck is differant and because their is a certan amount of miles doesnt mean it automaticly needs to be done.the vehicles history needs to be known or if you gp to the same shop they should know what it needs also the hemi is a form of a waist spark system and takes 16 spark plugs compared to other v8 engines that take 8 spark plugs so expect to pay well over $100.00 probably $200-$300 based on where you go or if you live in ventura co. you can contact me $149.95

You will need to have it scanned to find what is triggering the light. It will be stored in memory codes. I don't normally recommend it, but auto zone will scan it for free.

2004 ram 1500 with 5.7 hemi using 1 quart every 3,000 miles

Slide a large piece of cardboard under the truck after driving for ten minutes note in which area directly above the spot on the cardboard the oil is coming from then get under the vehicle with a drop light to look for the origin of the leak, if no leak is detected then it may be the engine is burning oil this could either be valve stem seals or broke or worn oil rings.

No heat

No heat can mean low coolant in the radiator. Check that. Also would mean you have a coolant leak. Might possibly be a restricted heater core. Possibly a blend door in the dash that quit working. Thermostat could be faulty allowing coolant to flow continuously.
