This is how teachers show you stuff. Teach you the easiest possible scenario then the test is spark plug #8 which they didnt prepare you.
Number 8: Use a 1.5" extension or no extension with the spark plug socket. Without the rachet, install the socket/extension by hand. Next attach the rachet down low. Best use a long handle rachet. Also you need a step ladder🪜 - i got a good one at Lowe's.. basically you'll be laying on the engine really loving your Chevy while removing the back passenger plug 😁
Why would u do a video on the easiest plug? Do the #8 spark plug in the back passenger side...
Facts lol
I wish you would show how you got the number 8 plug out. It is very tight in there.
Thanks for saving me 5 minutes
I read your comment and moved on. I’ve done 7…
Take off the wheel and the fender liner and you'll have access
This theme song make me wanna tear apart my transmission without even knowing what I'm doing 😂
Just trying to figure out why my mom's truck is running so rough after I replaced the O2 sensors and ignition coils today.... My mom has never gotten a tune up for the suburban and after dealing with the same symptoms with my 2002 Saturn L100 I'm convinced that it is time for some new spark plugs! Thank you so much for the amazingly instructed video! Just subscribed!!
+morgan erkard If it has never had a tune-up you may want to start with with one to see if that helps to resolve the issue. 1aauto.com
I don't understand how ppl can dislike this video. It sure helped
+Egjack Palaeo Thanks for checking us out!
Dude!! i did it!! Thanks alot. I have a great feeling of accomplishment thanks to you!!

+REFSKILLZ Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy we could help.
You guys always have the most thorough videos without being excessive. Thank you very much.
Lol you know those spark plug wires where taken off b4 you took them off because you know very well it's not that easy
+Eduardo Delgado It wasn't bad on the vehicle that we were working on. 1aauto.com
My wire ripped itself out when I went to pull it off the plug...and you can only buy sets of 8 plug wires lol 88$ to check the spark plugs....fml
1A is right. It's not really an issue on this vehicle. Simple fact is if you have that much trouble with the number eight on this particular vehicle, then you might be better off taking it into a shop.
What should the ohmage be in replacement plug wires? I recently installed some and found them to be at about 1750 ohms. The original ones where at 375 ohms.
One thing not mentioned which will help a ton getting those metal boots off the plugs, is use a puller tool. You can find them at harbor freight. It grabs them just right and give you the grip to pry them off.
I removed them by hand, no tool. There are these special gorilla grip gloves 🧤 i bought at AutoZone. They allow you to grip and pull the wire by hand. The metal boots come off easily once wire is removed from spark plugs
I wanted to see how to take out the 8 spark plug
+Tony Ramirez Thanks for checking us out!
Excellent explanation of why you should use a dedicated spark plug socket.
#8 is a pain in the neck to take out
Good video
+Noel G Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I love the demo of the easiest plug... ugh
I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe 2.0t. with no codes I have vibration at idle, and get worse with ac on.
I replace : pcv, motor/transmission mount, o2 sensors, spark plugs, ignition coil.
Cleaned: throttle body, maf sensor, and use fuel treatment cleaner.
I believe I mentioned all I've done, but had many shops check it out and they all say it fine.
So you have any clue or what I can do to fix it?
freshdominican92 when you change the spark plugs where they oily?
Motor mounts
@@willielewis4690 you replaced all that for nothing, we bought used hyundaia sanata 2014 2.4 litre it has always had heavy rough idle , thats normal for these engines, if you want a smooth idle you have to buy a toyota or honda, this car is junk they have bad engines at 70 k it started using oil and at 80 k using 1 quart per 1000 miles and now at 100k 1 qt per 700 miles and there was a stack of new engines behind dealership they would never give us a new engine and we wasted 2 yrs of our life doing the 5000 mile oil consumption test after 1st test and 1 year wasted they dedlined us the new engine because we went past the 1000 mile interval to bring it to dealership if it goes bettween 900 and 1200 miles its ruined the test so we had to start over the entire oil consumption test because they never told us this purposefully so a certain % of people like us will be declined so we wasted another part of a yr this time perfectly on time for each 1000 miles to bring to dealership and they test and see how low the oil is fill as necessary and they still delined us . sell your car while you can they will not help you
Thank you so much
No dielectric grease?
I know it would be a little more work, but taking the front passenger wheel off to get to those plugs would be a little easier to get to since they literally right behind the plastic
What should the new plugs be gapped at?
I have heard mixed opinions regarding anti-seize when installing new plugs, what is your opinion?
+moodg162010 Don't use anti-seize
@@1AAuto why not?
Clear answer, but why?
Why not ?
Apparently you should to prevent it from getting stuck next time you try to take em out. But apparently you shouldn’t because some plugs already have some coating for that and if you put anti seize on them and torque them they’ll actually be over torqued. Idk
I did exactly that and now I have. A heck engine light and the truck idles a bit more than usual. It’s a misfire but what did I do wrong. I know the plugs are correct because I wouldn’t have been able to screw them all the way in. Any thoughts will help.
If you only have one misfire, can you only replace that one or just replace all cylinders, 8 for the suburban
+Ruel Isales Thanks for checking us out! If you are only having 1 misfire, and you can narrow it doesn't to one specific coil, you can most definitely replace just that one that is misfiring.
How often should somebody change the spark plugs?
Thanks I still may have a problem trying to get to the back one on the passenger side.

Hey , I was wondering if you can do a video on a power steering pump for a 2000 - 2006 surban , tahoe , yukon, yikon xl , seirra , ect . You guys are awesome and These videos are very helpful. Thank you .

The reason I looked for the video was the passenger side furthest in plug. I can’t seem to get to that one as there isn’t enough room. Showing the easy one is fine, but you need to show the hardest one too. It is “not the same” quoting what this video states at the beginning.
+Val Kraus Thanks for the feedback!
Should have not of been lazy and just did #8 spark plug 🔌 that's why I came
Does anyone have any idea if I should replace the wires each time I replace the spark plugs?
Yes every time you tune up.
Vino Valentino at least every other time you change plugs.
Depends. Some vehicles have different tune up cycles, depending on year and make of vehicle. Depends on condition of wires too. If they're in good condition, then you should be fine
How much do you put the spark plug gap I heard two different numbers 0.60 and 0.40
+Javier Chavez Thank you for the question. Typically spark plugs come pre-gapped for an easier install.
What I’ve read on message boards they change the specs to 040. That’s what I use on my 99 Sierra but the ones I pulled out were 060 except for 2 that was 065. Truck is running good and stop a subtle misfire I was having but would really like more official info on gap size.
I changed the spark plugs and still have the shaking, what can it be then?????????????????
How necessary is the torque wrench? I was planning to very gently wrench them. And anti seize is great too
Never use anti seize!!! It loosens the plug up so you want to tighten it down more. Then you'll end up with a frozen plug in the block.
This video mentions 11ft lbs for torque spec on spark plugs. But other video from same company said 25 ft lbs. Same motor. Also i heard its supposed to be 17 ft lbs. Who's right??...
Found out last night it recommends 11 ft lbs torque for spark plugs. I accidentally broke two spark plugs. Maybe I did too much torque or maybe it was because the brand Bosch. But I went back to the store bought the ac Delco platinum pre gapped at .040 and double checked them carefully with the spark plug gap tool just to make sure it was right. Didn't put any anti seize either this time. Turned the spark plugs by hand then finished tightening them with the ratchet and spark plug socket. Once it was starting to tighten almost all the way. I did a little less than 1/4" turn with the ratchet. Now my vehicle is running fine and I didn't break any spark plugs. Thanks anyway for the video. All the spark plugs were easy except the back right one on the passenger side of vehicle. Wish the engineers had to work on what they made. But they never do in any type of field that I know of -_-
@@xhoustonkingx6212 Note to self...Dont use cheap Harbor Freight or similar Torque Wrench! A cheap tool makes an expensive mistake.
@@xhoustonkingx6212 any tips on replacing that #8 passenger side plug? It's almost impossible to reach.
While I appreciate the how-to video, the reason I looked this up is to see what tools and adapters I would need for the difficult, hard-to-reach plug, not the easiest. Might consider showing that instead in the future.
+Muffinator Thanks for watching. Buy the part in this video on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
To get the back one on the passenger side is difficult but it can be done
I fou d that one easy, just use a short socket with a small wrench and adapt it from 1/2 to 3/8 to give a tiny extra length.
@@djvj1 use 1.5" extension.. smallest one...
The back plug passenger side* : take the 5/8 bolt off thats holding the dipstick in place and you can swivel the dip stick tube outta the way.. gives you just enough room to work that b out/ put back in
OK now do a video on #8 plug. That one was easy peasy.
this ones a little bit trickier to get to cuz its way way bac but ill show you the easiest one only. thanks for watching...
Honestly I’d be putting anti-seize on the threads
+Tim Otoski Thanks for the feedback!
Yea it helps I snapped a spark plug off once it so I always put a little on the threads
Honestly bank 2 is much harder especially cylinder 8
Good luck getting that massive torque wrench on #8 lol. Just snug it up, medium-firm. Don’t want to over tighten those bad boys and pop the porcelain.
Ask me how I know.
The fact he pulled the wires off by hand 😲
You should be using the right ACDelco Plugs for this engine.
@Mike king they used ngk brand. Sam is saying they should used acdelco brand
Didn’t gap them?
You didn't show how to remove the hardest one in the back passenger side?
If you feel its crossthreading... you should stop.
Leave it at that lmao
How could you not mention the metal boots ?
Wow... no mention whatsoever of cylinder 8.....
Hey everybody! For the spark plug for the 8th cylinder check out this video here! ua-cam.com/video/UauCBl-muFU/v-deo.html
Do the passenger side
All you guys never show how to do passengers side. just call it 7 spark change.
When replacing spark plugs, you really should use a little anti seize when putting the new plugs in.
Unless you drive a Ford. I did my spark plugs and used that anti seize, ended up blowing 2 of my plugs out of the hole. I was told by my mechanic that it was the Anti Sieze that's the reason. No idea if that's true or not.
@@cddog1995 NOT TRUE. If your engine was a 3V Triton engine. they are NOTORIOUS for blowing plugs out. It has to do with the minimal amount of threads in the head that Ford designed-poorly. Anti-seize is a MUST on Ford's. I believe your issue was NOT the application of the A-S but the INCORRECT torque values you applied to the plugs. Fordtechmakeuloco has a great video on the Triton 3V's (especially!!) problem and solutions.
Almost all plug manufacturers advise AGAINST using anti-seize when installing new plugs.
Ok so manufacturers advise against that. Why people recommend it? Is it something from the past?
Any time you have dissimilar metals you should apply anti seize. That’s pretty much common knowledge.

One error I noticed. Spark plugs need to be gapped to your specific vehicle specs before installation
+Levi Peterson Thanks for checking us out! All of our spark plugs will be gaped to the correct specifications for the vehicles they are listed to fit so there is no additional modification needed before installation. 1aauto.com
@@1AAuto it's been a few years since I've done my own tune up, but I'm not aware that the spark plugs are sold pre-gapped. You should show this in your video. What made me think of it honestly was the fact that I could see a visible Gap difference between the old and new spark plug
@@IFartOnMyNutz69 I always check them too. I've seen inconsistencies in new plugs out of the box.
@@IFartOnMyNutz69 On new plugs the gap is set. On some types of plug, like Iridium, you should not alter the gap.
Big cop out, just show the easy side. Let's see you tackle #8 on passenger side 😂
Replace wires with spark plugs
well that was a waste of time
i want to see right rear
We only care about #8 plug.. this is an amateur video.
This guy only did the easy side 🙄 what a disappointment.
