I agree that 30K is way too short of a service life. I did mine around 48K and they still look new as well. I didn't have any issue removing them. I know they aren't iridium or platinum, so I can see not waiting 100K, but my personal feeling is that somewhere 50-60K is probably just fine. But I'm no expert. :-)

If they recommended 50K, people would finally get around to doing it at around 75K miles. I think Dodge just puts that figure out there knowing that owners are typically late on maintenance. Same reason I get a change oil indicator after 2500(ish) miles.
IDK. That's my thoughts on it, anyway. Mine looked (and worked) fine when I pulled them at 35K miles. But the idea is to replace them before they start defecting.

I pulled the plugs out of my dad's Ram at 30k to replace, they looked great.
On the other end of this, the tune up prior, the plugs when out at 20k, had a misfire on cylinder 3. New plugs fixed it.
So if you're running coppers, 30k is about middle ground as far as change intervals go. If you're hard on the truck, with hauling and what not, change them at 30k or before.
