Default Spark Plugs?

Well I've just about got 30,000 miles on my truck now and according to the manual it's time to change the spark plugs. I have almost no experince at all with the newer Hemi engines. The last tune-up I did was on my 98 318. It wasn't bad at all. New plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. But looking at my Hemi I don't see any traditional wires or a distributer cap. I'm gonna guess and say the coil packs replaced those maybe? What I'm looking for here is a basic rundown of how to replace the plugs and anything else that I might be overlooking. And should I stick with Champions or does anyone know of a better brand for plugs? Thanks.

yeah the topic has been covered like a million times, if you search you can find a crapload of info on it, the stock champion is a good plug and alot of people swear by them, but if you feel the need to upgrade you can go to NGK alot of people have had good luck with them including me, but dont waste your money on boch +4s or whatever the hemi doesent like them and will actually run worse...most of the spark plugs are pretty easy to get to cuz of the spacious engine bay theres only 2 that kinda suck, thats on the drivers side beside the break booster, but no worries a cv joint will do the truck and its like 2 bucks...good luck

I'm pretty sure it is too. I searched before starting a new thread and found that.
