2008 4.7 Spark Plug Socket?
 

Hello everyone,
trying to change the plugs on my 08 Ram 4.7 and have discovered that a regualr socket will not fit in the head. i searched the boards but saw no mention of this, anyone have any ideas or know the snap on number if there is a special tool?
Thank you

im pretty sure its just a standard 5/8" deep socket.....and a couple of extentions

Just bought a 5/8 socked and it won't fit in thw whole, it seems like there is a sleeve in there that is the same size. Is something different on the flex fuel motor?

Here is the pic of the whole, dont know if this helps

Think i found the answer on the Jeep forum http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums...d.php?t=525629

you could always try a 12 point 3/8" ratchet and a 5/8"s socket... there side walls tend to be a bit smaller then the 6 point 5/8''s

yep, sears has thin walled sockets for the plugs

For any body who is interested, I found a spark plug socket that will fit. After trying just about everything, I finally tried one that was at Home Depot. It comes in a set of 3 spark plugs socket and it fits perfectly. Hope this helps. If you need a part number or skew let me know.
