How to change sparks
We all had to begin to swim somewhere and most began at the shollow end but you aren't in over your head, just a little from the start line. Work a plug pair at a time and don't remove no more wires than you need to get to the target pair.
If you have miles over 100k, be very careful in removing the plugs. The plugs are long treaded, extends a few threads into the cyl head blast space, carbon builds on those threads and will eat those alum treads if too much twist is applied. Twist out, back in, twist out little more, back in full down, repeat this until you've got at least three full outward turns.
Each CoilPac is wired to two plugs. Each cyl has a plug with a attached coilPac, the second plug from that pac in off to the other side. The 2nd plug to the same cyl is coiled from a Pac across the way. Don't concern youself with that far plug until you get over there at that cyl number.
Check fluid specs. Some brands you may blend. DO NOT blend diff colors. First, call the local Dodge dealer parts man for proper specs.
Keep asking, these people here are the best collected minds on the web.
You can do it! Jump in.

Dont know where the plugs are at.
Thinking of paying 100+ for plugs.
Wondering if you can mix "colors".
You better make friends fast with someone local and mechanically inclined because you are asking to get financially molested at a shop.

DirtBaller, are you running yet? If you've fell into a pit, let your DF family aware and see pics. At one point 'FireFighter' thought he was getting in over his head. He did great stuff.
You are being advised by the best knowledge of these goats when receiving words from JoeHemi, HammerZ71 and Weed.
That thread JoeH, HammerZ71 had posted about general maint of the sparkPlug has been most useful reference I've seen as per
the three JoeH posted above on #14. In the third thread, 04HemiGreg posted a very clear pic of the extended plug threads that gets carbon heavy if one puts too many miles on them before pulling them, not to replace, just to clean the plug ends of the carbon.

Dude, find a buddy that can do the job, have him teach you, drink a few beers in the process, and get those PLUGS changed son! thats the best way to learn how to work on a truck, if u do it urself u will have questions and doubts on this and that, its just better when someone is there to show you what the hell to do
