Ram 1500 Hemi spark plug replacement 09-18

[@Nelsonperez-bn4zm]

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

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

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.

[@philipbingham5255]

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.

[@elroco4827]

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

[@beastwar4]

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.

[@Old-n-slo-locked-n-leaned]

How did it go?

[@beastwar4]

@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

This is the one part everyone else skips ty

[@samgodwin7798]

Well, I've been dreading this, but at least I have a good guide now! Stupid 16 spark plugs...

[@jimweda]

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.

[@guymiller7795]

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. 👍

[@Oheeeoh]

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.

[@Azlinthelich]

I can see this killing my back, smashing my knuckles, and pissing me off so badly that it takes 6 hours to complete.

[@randicook8991]

😂😂😂😂

[@kevinconant6279]

I just did this job on my 2008 Dodge Ram. I learned alot.

[@MLSPlatforms]

I’m going to do this next week, I’m doing the hard ones first ,

[@NESig]

Very good video! I can see how important that flex socket is on this job.

[@shepherdguy]

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.

[@People-Business-And-Ideas]

Cylinders 7 & 8 spark plugs, are notoriously difficult to get out on Hemi's. Especially, in JEEPS & RAMS, suv's and trucks.

[@adamjackson4525]

Thank you for the video

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

I though it would be horrible but it's not as bad as I thought

[@adamjackson4525]

@@buildsomethingstupid1736 the one underneath the brake booster wasn't too bad. I laid prone on the valve cover and did it

[@williamwatts164]

Cyl 7 will get u swearing in new language....if u can find a 4in extension and magnetic plug socket your golden

[@dennismillus4581]

Did you remove the driver's side tire and inner fender???

[@alphaa1xgene]

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

[@tru3sk1ll]

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

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

Great point!

[@Sage-cw2hy]

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.

[@thomasbradberry5228]

if it's not too late, rock auto. Great prices and they aren't fakes

[@Sage-cw2hy]

@@thomasbradberry5228 I ended up getting them from rock auto for less than half the price auto zone had them for.

[@elroco4827]

Doing mine this weekend. I refuse to pay $1,500 at the shop.

[@ibleebinU]

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.

[@elroco4827]

@@ibleebinUthank you. These shops are ridiculous. Let me know how it turns out for you my friend. Good luck

[@clarkstonguy1065]

The shop probably assumed they would end up heli-coiling a few cylinders for that price...

[@kennethsanders1694]

I did 1-7 and procrastinating on #8! 😅

[@elroco4827]

The plugs typically are pre-gapped, right? Thanks for the upload

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

yes they are

[@hector2890]

Did you have to take the driver side fender wall to reach back in there to get the back driver side plugs?

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

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.

[@JackFrost-xb9yz]

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.

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

good idea! No shop would ever do that but great idea anyway!

[@trevor7324]

Rachet wrench for drive side ignition coil

[@JF-e8y]

Why would anyone open up the engine that is dirty?

[@Kabanabak]

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.

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

My truck was at 120k miles and no problems with any of them thankfully. Just a time consuming job

After watching that I'll change my plugs when I pull the engine out of the truck maybe at 100,000

[@MissionaryForMexico]

First thing you do before working in engine bay, pressure wash engine!

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

Thats a good way to cause electrical problems

[@MissionaryForMexico]

@@buildsomethingstupid1736 not with low pressure water hose sprayer! Never had any issues here!

[@warbak3173]

How many miles?

[@buildsomethingstupid1736]

I think I was 140k at time of video

[@dangarcia6709]

Gap?

[@elroco4827]

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