You can replace them one at a time or do like some others have done and shut off the code.

its fine to just replace one. it wont hurt nothing. then down road replace the rest when you have the money. how many miles are on the truck?

Be sure to get your motor good and hot when you pull it and be careful not to twist the top off or you'll wish you'd just let it be bad, they are known for breaking off in the head.....

Changing one won't hurt anything. I did that on one of lbzs a while back, then w/in 2 months 2 others popped up so I just went ahead and replaced them all. But it will not hurt at all to just change one.

Alot of guys just do the whole side while the fender liner is pulled out of the way. Right bank is a piece of cake. Soak 'em for a 1/2 hour or so with PB or similar and change one or all 4. I did some after 175k and 5 salty winters and had no issues getting them out.

I just do one at a time some of them started to burn up 3 years ago. I think I did 4 the first "year", then 2 last year, and none so far this year.
