I am due to replace the plugs in my truck and was wongering what plugs and wires you guys would recomend. I have mostly been s Champion man myself but I was wondering about other options.

 

Ummm...for starters you have no wires. 06 and newer hemis have straight coils on the plugs, so all you can really do there is upgrade the coils. As for plugs, I got a super hot stinky deal on some iridiums, so that's what I have.

 

Keep the copper Champs. Have not seen you around in a while.

 

im runnin the NGK iridiums, and cuz i have an 04 hemi im planin on some shortie wires and new boots under the coils

 

Retarded from the Army and work as an IT tech for a job now. Once I get home the last thing I want to see is another computer. Thanks on the plug wire, I never would have guessed in a million years. I will keep the champs.

 

Is there an easy way to change the plugs near the brake fuild reservoir? It was a royal pain in the butt. I got the 1st 2 cylinders plugs replaced but after that I opted for some guidance.

 

is this a 4.7 or a hemi? i changed mine with a swivel joint, and ataching the ratchet after it was in the plug hole...hope this helps

 

It's a 5.7. I tried that on the 2nd cylinder the 3rd and 4th I have not even thought about attemting yet. Actually the 4th looks like there is sufficient room the 3rd looks like a royal PITA. I am pretty sure there is not enough room to remove the coil let alone put in the socket and remove the spark plug.

I'll grab my universal and see if I can manage. The thing that makes this even harder is my hands are huge and fitting them in areas like this are not meant for hands so big. I will give it another try.

Anoy other suggestions are welcome as well.

 

I did the same, I used a swivel joint, but I also used a flexhead ratchet. And I had to do the same, attach the ratchet after sliding the socket in. I removed the hemi hat, I'm guessing you may have done the same. That gave it more room to reach back in there.

Have fun!

 

Ok halfway there. It's starting to get cold outside so I will finish tomorrow. It's such a liberating feeling when you are retired and you don't "have" to finish now. Besides the auto parts store only had 12 spark plugs in stock and I will have t pick up the remaining 4 tomorrow. I have the hardest ones done now. Tomorrow will be much easier because the driver's side is done and the passenger's side has so much more space.

I will say again for the record, whoever made this amount of space really needed to rethink things. I really miss the trucks of the 60s and 70s that just had an engine, radiator and a battery in the engine compartment.
