Spark Plug Change: 2014 Gen 1 Raptor 6.2 V8

In this video I showed you how I replaced the spark plugs in my 2014 Gen 1 Raptor with the 6.2L V8. The top 8 plugs were simple especially if you've done plugs on a vehicle before. The lower plugs were extremely tricky mainly because of clearance to reach them. I hope this helps you if you are replacing the spark plugs on your truck.
Spark Plugs I used:
NGK-6510 SPARK PLUG 6510
I torqued to 100 in lbs

Great video brotha! Just to note, the old plugs have more of a gap because the electrode burns down over time and increases the gap. That will lead to stuttering and sight misfires if they burn down too much and the gap is too large. If the plugs don’t want to budge or are too hard to turn, spray some penetrating fluid and let it sit for a few minutes and try again, this will greatly reduce the risk of breaking plugs off. I just picked up a 2011 Raptor a few weeks ago, changing the plugs out right now and this was a great reference video. Extensions and a swivel head are your best friend for sure haha. Also just did the front/rear diff and transfer case fluid change as well as an oil change, I always do a full service whenever I purchase a new to me vehicle.

Geez louise i MIGHT just take it to the DEALER. Ford should be ASHAMED of themselves for the BOTTOM LOCATIONs🤨

Not a bad job with a universal adapter and different length extensions. The front lower plug on the passenger side was a pain. There is little room (I have small hands) and the plug is hard to see even with a mirror because of how recessed it is. I had a hard time starting the threads during the install. The other 7 plugs are easy to get to

Always check the gap. You never know if the box of plugs were dropped

If you have an air compressor, blow out area of spark plug to remove dust/dirt and small rocks. Last thing you want is dirt/pebbles in your cylinder bore.

It’s definitely a pita where the strut towers are. The secondary plug placement is definitely bad. They could have done like the Ram pickups.

Great job! And thank you for the guide I will be doing mine soon also at 50k! 😳. I’ve had mine new since 2014 and it’s at 48k but the years is due I think 🤔. Do not want to deal with a jammed spark plug if I wait to 100k. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Again thank you for this video, great idea to just set the truck low to work on 👍🏽

I will be taking this to a shop for sure

Alot less terrifying then doing spark plugs on the 5.4

[@RobustArid379]

That’s crazy but easy than german cars

[@andrewmontano9996]

Food for thought for everybody if you don’t want a plug to snap off and break do the plugs when the engine is warm instead of cold saves you a headache been using this method for a long time as a mechanic and it works awesome

Did spark plugs on my friends 1st gen raptor today, extensions and swivel adapters are your friends, took about four hours ... Bit time consuming the first time ( 4 hours) .. The 2 Fire wall top ones are bit tricky, bottom close to the firewall just bend the splash guard, the semi pain in the ass is the one behind suspension tower .. I use 3/8th swivel adapter and a flat screwdriver to align socket ..this video was of great help guiding me..thank you

It’s a great time to change out the ignition coils/wires when doing plugs….they only last about 100K miles as well.

Very Helpful Vid. Getting ready to do my new to me 2011 with 94k miles. Thank you!

[@fireant1272]

Nice engineering FORD! My 5.7 hemi has 16 plugs also and its easy to change them.

[@jonanderson7344]

Thank you for the very well made video. I’m at 118,000 and I’m starting to do mine as we speak.

[@highwayman1218]

The painted mark on the tip is original plugs from the factory.

[@MrSkunks]

I had a shop do mine at 108,000 miles. Look similar to yours. They handed me back my original ones and I noticed that there was 8 that were all white and 8 with the blue ring. Wasn’t sure if previous owner did only the top 8 or the shop did the top 8 and handed me another random 8. But now seeing yours, I can be confident that’s how it’s factory.

I just changed the plugs in the 6.2 in my 15 F350. The top plugs were different than the bottom. Someone got lazy at some point and just changed the top plugs and left the plugs on the sides.
