That was the easiest cylinder to get to...get the last on the passenger side, then start on the Driver side and let the cussing begin.

We want to see how you do the driver side man

[gibby]

everyone that’s looking for the key too make the driver side easy I’ll give it too you, simply remove your driver tire & fender liner and you’ll have easy access too the entire drivers side, if you use a swivel with a short extension it will be cake & a magnet will come in handy for getting your extensions back out of the spark plug holes

Good video . Old one didn’t look bad, at how many miles do we change them ? Is there a torque? Which plugs are good for Ram 1500 5, 7 Hemi.

Doesn’t show the drives side replacement…

Get the ones on the driver side on the back 😂😂😂😂

Hi! Great video.
I need to change the coils and spark plugs on a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 3.6L.
It has to be the same technique correct? There are only (6) plugs tho and a single-stem coil. But overall it’s the same process?

There's a much better 23 min video that shows how to take out the rear spark plugs. Plus disregard whats this video shows and never trust the new plugs to be correctly gapped. Always gap check new plugs. Something I'm considering is just checking the gap in a couple of the old spark plugs tht are easy to access to see how worn and clean they are after 100K miles. If they are okay and within spec I may just put them back in and recheck them again after another 30-50K miles assuming there are no performance/mileage/smog check issues. When I changed the plugs at 100K in my wife's 2012 Escape I was surprised to find the old plugs well within spec and clean. They really didn't need replacement and the car's performance was unchanged after I did it. So maybe checking a couple first might postpone all the difficulty involved replacing those rear plugs on my 2017 Ram.

"How to take off your intake", and maybe change a spark plug while you're at it.
