DODGE RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENTS (2002-2008) 3RD GENERATION

[@flyinshu9419]

Hint: To make this job a whole lot easier. jack the front, remove the wheel and the inner fender. Takes a few minutes and provides direct access to all plugs, both sides. Be sure to use jack stands far safety.

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Absolutely, definitely a easier way to do it instead of being on a step stool or on top of car. Thank you for watching video and hope you became a subscriber for future videos

[@elroco4827]

I didn’t have to do all that. Little too extra for me

[@nunyabiznuss7464]

Thank you very much for posting this. My Ram started misfiring as I was driving to work this morning, so I'm going to replace the plugs tomorrow. Keep up the good work - much respect!!

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Thank you very much for the comment, really means a lot to me. I do these videos to help people work on their on cars and save money. Hopefully you subscribed and stay tuned for my videos I have coming on the ram

[@benchase192]

My dad bought my family a Code Scanner I just hook it right up underneath my steering wheel in my 04 Ram 1500 Laramie saved me hundreds of dollars when a check engine comes on instead of taking it to dealership or a mechanic I just had to replace the EGR valve two days ago only cost me $55 at the auto parts store took about 20-30 mins one csuse it was hot as hell from me driving it over there so all the bolts were hot as shit and we are slow sometimes lol but man I’m telling you what watching KZbin videos like this and learning how to fix your own car you’ll save so much money in the long wrong

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

your welcome, thank you for watching my video and hope you became a subscriber. stay tuned for more videos coming soon

[@marymason3207]

Omg the fact that he said at the end about the break booster cause my ads would have taken it out the truck for one coil pack and plug...lol...so thanks here I go yet again fixing my 07 1500 Hemi 5.7 all with youtube and myself wish me luck

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

lol, you would figure the amount of space it has, that last one shouldn't be an issue. I hope you got the job done and your truck is working efficiently. thank you for watching and becoming a subscriber. Once my laptop gets fixed I have more videos coming and on the Ram also.

[@marymason3207]

@@BEARDEDHANDYMAN hey thank you very much and I did got it I got it done and my truck so I'm pretty good actually but thanks for all your help on the videos keep them coming

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

@@marymason3207 glad you got it done, I have tons of more videos and a few more on the ram. Unfortunately my laptop screen has to get fixed so until then I'm a sitting duck on them 🙃

[@mikevickers4727]

That little thing right there doesn't provide a high voltage, but it does have a high voltage passing thru it, which in essence creates a dead short, spark, between both electrodes at the tip. The engine's voltage is provided by it's alternator, and it's high voltage is provided by it's coil, which then goes to the distributor to be distributed thru the wires to the spark plugs

[@michaeldepow6663]

He said car maintenance and home repairs, then rode a bike into the woods. That was cool. Lmao

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Appreciate you, I was thinking outside the box and try to bring humor to it. 😆 I like being funny to i just can't seem to when I'm doing it working on cars 🙃

[@lilianac.4856]

Very interesting, thank you for showing us all about spark plugs 🤗

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Gracias and love you ❤

Thanks bro your video helped me a lot

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Thank you and I'm glad I was able to help you out. This the reason why I do them. Thank for watching my video and hope you became a subscriber to watch future content

Thanks!

[@randyb3347]

Very well done. Thank You!

[@luisadriandelgado5343]

Good job!

[@randyb3347]

What you recommend putting dielectric grease on the coil wire connector?

[@karldanger44199]

Great video. I'm going to record mine and just post cylinder 5 cause just think anyone can do the rest 😂

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

😂😂🤣🤣 you know what's funny, I never thought it was going to be such an issue because your not the first person that mentioned that. I do have 49 more videos to edit before I put it here and I do have have another video of the ram when I had a engine code that required me to change entire spark plugs again and this time I showed it 😅 thanks for watching my video 🙃

[@chuckfinley4292]

Any tips on how to do it? Im stuck on them currently

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

@chuckfinley4292 if you're trying to take that one by the brake booster I do have an updated video I haven't edited yet. I can send it to you to look at it.

[@chuckfinley4292]

@BEARDEDHANDYMAN thatd be super helpful man! Thanks! My 3 buddies and I were all workin on it over the weekend and we got nowhere

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

@chuckfinley4292 give me your email and what I'll do is create a folder and put it there to share with you through google. I do have over 49 videos I haven't even edited so give me at least two days to go through them. I never realized when I did this one that is would be a vital mistake not to actually show it 😑

[@complimentarycontemplation1873]

What you want to know starts at 5:58 Bill. Good video tho

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Thank you very much and I hope you and Bill subscribed to my channel for future videos 😊

[@DurinThe_Deathless]

Thank you!!

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Your welcome and I hope you subscribed and stay tuned for more videos

[@allenluberger1511]

Thanks for info! I was looking for my plugs. Where hell are they? Then u showed me. Guess i be doing that aftrr i fight changing exhaust msnifold bolts. Bolts rusty and be a job just gettong off. Then find broken bolts. No longer s fan of dodge!

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Yes, bolts on Dodge are notorious for rusting and it was an issue. Definitely recommend to change any bolt underneath truck. Thanks for watching and hope you became a subscriber

[@tyecurtis7228]

Very good video. THANKS! 16 plugs?! Why?

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Thank you for watching my video and I hope you subscribed for further videos. Yes 2 plugs per cylinder. The reason behind it to my knowledge Dodge wanted a better combustion hemi engine and for emmsion purposes because having just 8 created more high content fumes in exhaust and unburned fuel since it is a hemispherical engine.

[@itsalllogical]

Man thank you so much

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Your welcome, and thanks for watching. Hope you became a subscriber and stay tuned for more videos on the way

[@terrypittman6061]

Overall the video was helpful. Just one thing.... how did you get to the back three that are basically under where the brake fluid reservoir is located?

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

pardon my delay in replying back. Did you figure out how to take it out? If I recall I did an example in this video how to take the rear left bank spark plug out with the tools, which looking back now I should have shown it. If you haven't done it yet, I can make a quick video showing it. Let me know and thanks for watching my video

[@Kam2time]

@@BEARDEDHANDYMANplease do

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

@kamrenpurvis2987 if I'm seeing it correct, look at the most recent video posted 3 months ago and there I'm showing how to remove the 3 spark plugs by the brake booster 🙃🙃

[@UnknownUser-dr4gw]

NEXT TIME CHECK OUT ROCKAUTO…you can get a better deal on plugs. local auto parts shop is 2-3 times more money.

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Rock Auto my favorite place to shop and second is Advance when I need the parts right away. The 20% to 25% discount definitely worth it when needed

[@ulyseknight7674]

.430 no. .043 yes

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Thank you for the correction. Didn't catch that mistake. I'll make sure I address it properly on my next video when I did a nissan. Thank you for watching my video and hope you became a subscriber

[@tommywilliams9184]

You have 2 spark plugs so do them 1 by 1......... Well yea you can't do them both at the same time

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Absolutely, got to throw in a dry joke to make you think what I'm saying 😉 thank you for watching my video and hope you became or become a subscriber and help support my channel

[@6dreams79]

What do you mean gap it ?

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Thank you for watching my video and hope you became a subscriber. Even though when you buy spark plugs, supposedly they are to be gapped out out box with vehicle manufacturers recommendation, but they are not in every case. If they are not gapped properly it will not give you proper ignition spark to combust engine properly. Ensure to ask w u what's the gap when you buy them

[@kidvicious2227]

Could be bad coil pack as well. But there $300 for all

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Yes, normally you will get a check engine light for miss fire. Thank you for watching my video

[@brandonkick]

I had two go bad on me... made my 08 1500 with the 5.7 misfire... shook the truck like crazy. I just replaced the two bad ones. I found Dorman replacements for 20 bucks each. Not bad.

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

@@brandonkick nice🤗🤗🤗 I'm glad the video was helpful. Hope you considered subscribing

[@jaydonnelly3224]

1 1/2 hours?? Lol 😆 and the gap is spec’d at .045 … cmon bro 😎

[@BEARDEDHANDYMAN]

Not sure what's the problem or what your trying get at? This video is old and I don't recall everything in video. 1.5 hours to long or two short? Everyone works on their own pace. If I said .045 gap, it came straight from the book. If your an actual ASE certified mechanic your more then welcome to tell me how many hours your book says to charge and spec. Thank you for watching my video though 👍

[@tompbmt]

Jay if you know so much then why are you watching KZbin videos on how to do it? STFU if you don't have anything nice to say! Good video bro!
