Spark Plugs Replacement Ford Ranger 3.0 1997 - 2008

[@V8SKULLS]

Easy way to remove the plugs on the passenger side, jack up the pass side, remove the tire, and the dirt skirt, and you will have plenty of room

Why on the first two he just had to pull them out but the others he had to lossen up

@@Josh-e2d2h 6:44 because they are a pain in the ass to replace on the passenger side 6:44 notice the cracked ceramic that’s because he had a hard time getting the plug socket on they are angled in a v pattern like the v pattern engine design suggests however when you add an ac condenser to the mix it makes it even harder to get enough clearance to get the socket on the spark plug without damaging the ceramic and it poses a safety issue to the piston rings because any loose ceramic that gets into the cylinder can cause scratching of the bore and can also damage the piston rings resulting in low compression.

Great video 🔥

what size ratchet and socket did you use? also will this fix p0306 error code? i was told it is #6 cylinder misfire and would need to change the spark plug for no. 6

At least you showed many of us that the intake manifold does not need to be removed, 👍, Which for me ' is a tremendous "Big Ass" relief 😌 whooh ! Mayby in the future you should slow down a bit and show the spark plugs up close to see at how bad they really are, the ones you flashed us really didn't look that warnout, but you zipped by to fast and quickly . Anyways thankyou young man for your kind efforts 😎👍

Remove the intake manifold wtf 😂😭 im only here to see what brand he replaced it with

Ford uses a Waste Spark system, there are only 3 Coils in the Coil pack, each coil sparks TWO spark plugs at the same time. 1 5 2 6 3 4 Are the match pairs that spark at the same time, their pistons are both at TDC at the same time, one on exhaust stroke the other on compression stroke. The spark happening on exhaust stroke is "wasted" so hence the name Waste Spark system To fire two spark plugs from one coil they need to be wired in Series, so............. One spark plug sparks from center to tip, normal spark The other sparks from tip to center, reverse spark This is why there are two spark plugs listed, one has platinum tip and the other a platinum center, so both are single platinum but reversed coatings This saved thousands of dollars when installing millions of spark plugs Double platinum is what you want to use if only buying 6 Or regular copper, not single platinum or one bank will wear out the same as regular copper. Not sure of current spark plug number for the 3.0l Vulcan The AGSF12PP was discontinued, the AGSF22PP was speced but I think it was too hot for the 3.0l, made it "pingy" for some users Autolite used to make the Motorcraft brand with Ford Specs, but Autolite was sold and I think Ford contracted NGK to make Motorcraft brand now but not sure
