Since you are aware of the ins and outs and so forth, I would suggest to look at the IDMs as being just the same service items as the old cap, rotor, wires were on older cars or timing belt.
No one promised when these IDMs came out on the market in 90 that they were for the life of the car, we kind of just assumed that.
Now we know that they do fail at some point so we maybe should go back to the same precaution as we have done since cars was invented and just replace them at a regular interval like we do with cap, rotor and wires.
Especially since the price have come down so drastically.
With the old price tag at over $400.00 each it was hard to push that sale on a customer.
Maybe a 100K interval is reasonable bewteen changes?
