I changed the plugs on my Hemi yesterday...took right at 1.5 hours. I found the best way to get the back driver side plugs is get an extendable or long handled ratchet, drop in the plug socket, attached to a 1.5'' extension and taped up swivle, and run the ratchet parallel with the valve covers. You'll have to sneak your other hand underneath the brake booster to connect ratchet to the extension.

I actually found the back passenger side to be more of a pain because I'm right handed and that thick bundle of wires that run to the back of the engine. It runs right across the pack and it's tough to move around.

 

i finally got around to do the plugs today, my truck is ha happy camper, i really need to fix the mufflerthe hanger was welded to frame and the muffler, no room to flex and it snapped. im gunna cut it off and put on a CB Extreme. but i think im gunna have to add pipe. and did i mention its a ford muffler, i know i know i should be shot.

 

thx for the advice, im dreading the hemi. id rather change the oil on my pops cummins then mess with it.

 

No problem. It's not as bad as it looks...take your time and you'll be fine. Think of it this way...you could be changing plugs on a front wheel drive V6.

 

Aint that the truth, I changed the plugs on my ex-fiances honda once, never freaking again. I will be doing the hemi tmr, ill let you know how it goes.

 

Really? i put about 5 1/2 quarts im my hemi (03 5.7) and when i check it when im done the levels are perfect.

 

I didn't get around to the hemi today, due to the fact that that my 4.7 is acting funny real doggish. and i took out a huge dent in the side of the hemi front passenger door. so now the door will open.
