Starting '08 or so, it has sixteen - eight on the top (30K interval) and eight on the bottom (102K interval).

Definitely gonna need some swivel sockets and extensions. After the first pack it's impossible to get to the plugs without some bending! The garden hose trick is pretty handy though

Sorry to hijack a thread, but I'm about to start this today too. I checked the FAQ, but I would like to make sure there's not been any changes. Is the torque spec on the plugs still 15 ft/lbs for the 08 hemi?

Yea but I've been tightening them by hand so I just go until the ratchet stops and then I make sure its done. Hopefully I'll have no issues. Almost done though. 4 more to go!
