Pip sensors can go bad occasionally due to wear and tear, environmental factors, or manufacturing defects. Regular maintenance and calibration can help prevent sensor failure and ensure accurate readings. If you notice erratic readings or inconsistent performance, it may be a sign that the sensor needs to be replaced.
They are replaced when they go bad.
Yes they can.

The sensors go bad and are $188.00 a piece @ the dealer.
The sensors that usually go bad in a Dodge truck are the throttle position sensor, the oxygen sensor, engine light sensor and crank sensor. These malfunctions can be fixed on any Dodge dealership.
They don't. Injectors go bad, TPS can be a problem if you do stupid things. The actual throttle body is a pretty simple device. If you like to unplug sensors without taking 30 seconds to disconnect the battery, you are going to have a lot of problems.
It will require a special socket with a slot down the side so as not to damage the wiring. It may be cheaper to have a shop do it as the sensors do not go bad very often.
Yes they often do go bad
Totally up to you. it is only necessary to replace which ever one is giving you a problem. The only time i might recommend doing both would be if the y were both behind the timing belt and the sensors were known to go bad often.
