  • This detailed video will show you exactly WHAT tool I used and HOW I physically removed and replaced ALL EIGHT plug wires and spark plugs on a 5.3L V8 GMC Yukon 2013. No glossing over or skipping the plugs that are hard to remove! You will see EXACTLY which combination of socket, extensions, pliers, or pry bar is needed for each step, and HOW I physically reached in and did it for each plug! Using using only basic hand tools! This same procedure applies to all GM V8 engines from roughly 2000 through 2014 on Silverados, Siennas, Tahoes, Suburbans, Yukons, Denalis, Avalanches and more GM vehicles. No bad words or F-bombs needed!!!

    I'm going to start off by saying that I am not a maintenance guru and barely know the basics of a car but you really made it easy to do yourself. I have a 07 Yukon and when the check engine light came on I went straight to here to see what's going on. I changed out only 7 of the 8 spark plugs and all the wires but because #8 is a pain and I'm at a Walmart parking lot I will have to call a mobile mechanic to get that. And I will replace all the ignition coils Saturday.
    You really been a great help and I just wanted to say thank you.

    Perseverance pays off. That you for your thoughtful tutorial.
    On the #8 plug, after removing the boot, I used a thin wall 6-point 16MM spark plug socket, half-inch drive with a breaker bar. Old timers called those a 'strong arm'. I haven't heard that term in well over 45 years I'd say. Once I got the #8 plug loose, I switched to a lighter 3/8" mini socket handle and spark plug socket. I'd looked over the job well before setting out to do it and had taken the time to gather the tools to do the job. Of course that #8 plug is even pointed _backward_ to the firewall just to add another degree of difficulty.

    @HuggyBearHikes Місяць тому +1

    Easiest way I think, if it's anything like my 09 silversdo, is to take the tires off and then the plastic wheel wells. Then you have total access right in front of your face to each plug without having to stand on a step stool and lean over the fenders. The so called hard #8 is easily done with a Spark plug socket, swivel adapter and long extention. You might have to slightly lift the heat shield that is back there by #8, but the extention with swivel will make it to the plug and come out.

    • @ApacheRanch
      @ApacheRanch  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah, good points. And using a vehicle lift would simplify things also. But short of all that, this will get the job done.
