- I'll do the hardest 4 plugs so you can see exactly what you need to get it done. Benefit from my learning as it's my first time doing these as well. The Notorious 16 spark plug HEMIs

Very clear clear video and the job is done right in the front off the camera I know not like other people film two feet away
Its a boring video for sure but it definitely shows exactly what i'm doing! I had heard these were a pain but I was pleasantly surprised as it went smoothly.
Patience and the right kind of spark socket is key. Changing my plugs again this weekend. 193k miles on my 2014 Ram 1500. Fun times ahead 😂. Great Video.
lol you’ve been doing some riding. Hey that’s what it’s for. As long as you keep it maintenance on it. I’m at 133k. Doing my plugs this weekend
When doing this, get u a spare tire and stand on it, it helped me that I started with the tough ones on the driver's side..
This is the one part everyone else skips ty
I leave the coil packs plugged in. That socket is cool. Simple u joint or pivot type attachment works fine just behind a regular spark plug socket. The electric ratchet makes short work of most of the project. 👍
Really appreciate your video and visually showing how you worked on the difficult ones. Only video I've seen so far giving a visual rather than just explaining it. Good work and thanks.
I'm going to go ahead and try it this month by myself. I'm coming up on 99,000 miles on a 2019 ram classic. I'm doing the hard ones first, so I can cuss out loud in my neighborhood lol.
How did it go?
@Old-n-slo-locked-n-leaned I fixed my wife car first. It's was easy, and I ordered the spark plugs on my truck today so this weekend. I'm working on it on Saturday
Well, I've been dreading this, but at least I have a good guide now! Stupid 16 spark plugs...
Thanks for the video tutorial. I have a 98 Trans Am this job looks much easier than that spark plug #8 was. After watching you do it, i'm pretty confident I can handle doing this on my 2017 Ram. Have yourself a super day.
I just did this job on my 2008 Dodge Ram. I learned alot.
I’m going to do this next week, I’m doing the hard ones first ,
I can see this killing my back, smashing my knuckles, and pissing me off so badly that it takes 6 hours to complete.
😂😂😂😂
If you're not bleeding and your back doesn't hurt then are you really working on your truck?
Yes, you did get two of the hardest ones, the #8 and the #7, but you didn't show us what IMHO is the very hardest...the #5 cylinder. Your power ratchet won't fit between the coil and brake booster, and using an adapter to the 1/2" ratchet may also be too long to get between them. In my experience, an 8mm box wrench works best on the #5. Also, if you are willing to remove the plastic fender wells, the jobs a bit easier from underneath. Just my opinion - the job can certainly be completed the way you did it.
Very good video! I can see how important that flex socket is on this job.
Rachet wrench for drive side ignition coil
Cylinders 7 & 8 spark plugs, are notoriously difficult to get out on Hemi's. Especially, in JEEPS & RAMS, suv's and trucks.
It wasn't real easy but I have to say I was expecting harder
Doing mine this weekend. I refuse to pay $1,500 at the shop.
I got an estimate for $600 and said screw that. I can't even imagine $1500. Just bought 16 NGK's for $108 from RockAuto. I'll manage. Hope yours goes well.
@@ibleebinUthank you. These shops are ridiculous. Let me know how it turns out for you my friend. Good luck
The shop probably assumed they would end up heli-coiling a few cylinders for that price...
Thank you for the video
I though it would be horrible but it's not as bad as I thought
@@buildsomethingstupid1736 the one underneath the brake booster wasn't too bad. I laid prone on the valve cover and did it
Cyl 7 will get u swearing in new language....if u can find a 4in extension and magnetic plug socket your golden
I did 1-7 and procrastinating on #8! 😅
Did you remove the driver's side tire and inner fender???
The plugs typically are pre-gapped, right? Thanks for the upload
yes they are
What do you guys think of Bosch iridium plugs on these engines
I had champion in mine, but I bought the Bosch already, looked up some info on line but nothing clear
I never unplug the coil packs, there is no point - just pull them out and leave them plugged in, half the time you try to unsnap them they crack and break anyway, and now you need a new wiring harness
Great point!
This is my first time changing plugs on my 15' ram 1500. Normally I just buy them from the store for my 4cy. But seeing they take 16 I was curious about Amazon because of the price. I have read about people about fakes. What is your experience and where do you buy your plugs from. At this point since I do only the best for my truck I will spend the extra $ and go to the retailer. I'm just curious about other people's experiences.
if it's not too late, rock auto. Great prices and they aren't fakes
@@thomasbradberry5228 I ended up getting them from rock auto for less than half the price auto zone had them for.
Did you have to take the driver side fender wall to reach back in there to get the back driver side plugs?
If it isnt in the video I didnt do it. Its been awhile so its hard to remember but I believe i did everything from the top.
I would clean that engine compartment before doing that job . Allow that dirt on those hoses that you keep hitting is going to shake dirt in your spark plug holes.
good idea! No shop would ever do that but great idea anyway!
After watching that I'll change my plugs when I pull the engine out of the truck maybe at 100,000
Greate video. Have you had any problems unscrewing any of the spark plugs that you had to use a lot of force? At what time and mileage did I change the spark plugs? I am waiting for a replacement in 5.7 HEMI Challenger soon, my manual states that 100k miles.
My truck was at 120k miles and no problems with any of them thankfully. Just a time consuming job
Why would anyone open up the engine that is dirty?
First thing you do before working in engine bay, pressure wash engine!
Thats a good way to cause electrical problems
@@buildsomethingstupid1736 not with low pressure water hose sprayer! Never had any issues here!
How many miles?
I think I was 140k at time of video
Where's the link to that spark plug socket

Gap?
They’re pre-gapped. Won’t hurt to check them
