Default late 03 hemi still original valve springs????

I am just curious when Chrysler figured out there was a problem with the valve springs going into the hemi?
Mine is an 11/03 model and have had 0 problems but would never forgive myself if I had a problem and did not resolve it beforehand knowing I should have.
Just want to fix it before there could be any problems!

Thanks,

Default hemi valve springs

I guess what I want to hear is how many out there are still running the original valve springs in their hemi that was built in 03 and how many miles are you sporting without issue?
Do you have the "hemi tick" ?

Thanks,

Everyone has the Hemi tick. From what I understand, it was resolved with the later model year. Hopefully some '03s will chime in and update you on their longevity.

*EDIT* I believe the spring issue was resolved. Everyone still has the Hemi tick.

Original springs (only because I haven't cammed it yet) at about 150,000 miles.
