spark plugs

Just finished a few items on my '13 Express and thought I'd share somethings that I learned; 1) This method worked great for removing the fan clutch but note that the 2013 model is reverse threaded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73dOJ7lEb-Q 2) This video is helpful for Hemi spark plug...

Well, I did a spark plug change today on my "new-to-me" Big Horn. I'm trying to go through everything and "reset" the maintenance schedule since I don't know what was done previously. I took it in few weeks ago to get the PCM flashed, as I was getting the typical vibration with the MDS, and...

I have over 65,000 kilometres on my HEMI. Dealer is trying to convince me to change the plugs for over $400. I did find an independent shop willing to do it for $295. I think it's still too expensive for a basic spark plug change and didn't expect to be doing this before 100,000 kilometres...

So I've been a member of this forum for a while. Made very few if any statements pretty much just search the threads for info. But I have a 2005 1500 5.7 with 100,000 miles. I just did a brake job last week because the dealer wanted around $500 for the job and saved myself a bunch of dough. Now...

Hey guys I'm starting to look into my preventative maintenance for my Ram for down the road and wondering what you guys have done for a tune-up on your vechicles? What type of plugs should I use with the mods I have does it matter? I have an K&N Intake, Cat back exhaust, ported throttle body...

2004 1500 hemi 130,000 miles keeps sputtering and stalling. shop changed out the spark plugs and wires. Did a tune up. Worked for a day then started again. Found out if I removed the negative battery wire waited a minute it will run for maybe a day or two. Shop is at a loss, code says...

Thought I would share my experiences with this weekends plug swap for anyone contemplating thier own. I am skipping details like "I removed the airbox..." a) First of all, what came out of my 2010 truck were 16 NGK (92174) LZFR5C-11 and that's what went back in. The cheapest I found them was...

Well, i finally gave in and im going to change the plugs and wires in my 08 4.7. As far as i can tell there's the 8 on top and the 8 on the lower bank. Is there anything i should know before doing this. Ive never had a truck with 16 plugs before. Thanks

Has anybody run Denso iridium plugs (IKH16)? They claim they are long lasting.

For the second time, I have discovered an issue with a plug. I was getting a P0304 code, misfire on #4 cylinder. When I pulled the plug, I found the ceramic on the center electrode damaged, thus, I thought there was a misfire to the head... I used the compression of the cylinder to push out any...

I have a 1984 Power Ram. I'm going to replace the plugs and probably the wires. So the question, is what plugs do the best in a 5.9L out of my 84? Also, would it be worth upgrading the wires to an 8mm or bigger? It's pretty much stock as far as I know. Love some help!

Decided it was time to get under the hood of the Hemi, change the oil and the spark plugs, I have been putting changing the plugs for the last 2 oil changes. After changing the oil, I began tearing into the engine, I pulled the air filter and the intake resonator gaining better access to the...

I was looking through my manual and read that the government forces Chrysler to warranty the spark plugs for 5 yrs or 50k miles, whichever comes first. If this is the case, why do they recommend changing them every 30? I have 40k on my truck and the plugs look pretty good. Should these be...

Hello All, Happy New Year!!! I recently aquired a 2007 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with 5.7L Hemi from the company I work for. I have driven the truck since new with only 16 miles on it and now it has 97,000, no spark plug changes. Even though the schedule to replace is 30,000 miles, I have never noticed...

Hey All, I love what I'm reading here so far, I do want to hear some more info on plugs, I was told I need to change then every 30k is this true? and if so has anyone done it themselves? the dealership wants 200$ to change them. I am also in the market for a tuner to improve gas mileage, and...

So growing up with a single mother didn't quite made me learn many stuff MAN do, and I'm talking about messing around with automobiles, most of my uncles are very knowledgeable when it comes to do major mechanic work on their trucks, I however don't really fit into that category, yes I can...
