Well, its 30K, and time to change the plugs (according to the service manual) on my 04 HEMI. I cant get at the rear two on the driver side, and the rear one on the passenger side.. Am i supposed to take some other stuff apart? Any tips?

Take the air hat off the TB, and be patient.

 

And, make sure you have the right combination of tools for the job. If not, get them. I sometimes buy tools I hope I never have to use, but am sure glad to have them when needed.

Many try to do everything with "a pair of pliers and a hammer!"

Hang in there and good luck.

 

Thanks for the replies... Forgive my ignorance, but I thought the throttle body was inline with the air box... What is that big round thing block the driver side plugs? It seems to have the master cyl. attached to it. Can this be removed some how?

 

That's your power brake booster....not something you wanna take off. You just have to remove the the big black box that says 5.7 Hemi on it and then play contortionist with your arms....it also helps to let the air outta the tires so that it sits lower. Other than that...just be patient.

 

I did my spark plugs and wires yesterday installed 8.2 Taylor wires and NGK V-Power spark plugs. 1st Unplug that black cover and take the cover off that has the 5.7 on it. You can get to the spark plugs easier if you take the # 5 coil off put aside to get to the # 7 coil and spark plugs its tight but you can do it. Just a pointer do it when the engine is cold trust me I didn’t. [:@] And don't start the ram until you reinstall that black box and plug that has the 5.7 hemi on it or your engine light will come on for air temp. And you will have to get it erased from the sys trust me on that one I know.

 

A couple of universal joint swivels help on the back ones.
