[@iamkhnumaa]

Which coil plug boot did you use?

[@joekimbrough7791]

Hey do you have a vid on the intake manifold

[@Methxdz]

Can you provide a list of of tools used? I really need to know the name and size of extension you used and size of sockets in mm.

[@oguh2olve54]

Can you make a video, how to remplace the alternator on this 2018 chevy equinox

[@91Katattack]

What if the first screw is too tight?

[@user-ic1vc9hv6q]

На каком пробеге была замена свечей?

[@robertgilmour8353]

😊

[@jdub4500]

Instead of replacing that rubber piece,why not just replace the coils?

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

I honestly see no need to replace the rubber boots unless they're cracked or falling apart. As for replacing the coils I'd only do that if one (or more) were causing a misfire.

[@marvinjenkins4901]

Great video. Very clear and precise. Curious. Doing this yourself saves you approximately how much money than doing this at a dealership?

[@DavidStumph]

Likely a few hundred dollars. depends on the shops labor rate, surcharges, and margin on sold parts.

[@marvinjenkins4901]

wow. seems like this is the way to go even if you had to buy the tools for the installation. Thanks for the fast reply.@@DavidStumph

[@MaxBeecher]

The 4 10mm bolts require 89 in-lbs (or about 7.5 ft-lbs) of torque.

This video says different and he shows some information on screen.. please help before I break my friends vehicle Sunday....

[@jjman1982]

How often should the spark plugs be changed?

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

On the 2018 Equinox the owners manual shows 60,000 miles. I have 56,000 miles on our 2018 and I'll be changing the plugs this fall.

[@juniorgamer97]

What's the grace I need to put on the spark plug

[@DavidStumph]

dielectric grease

[@edson19junior]

how many miles do you recommend changing?

[@gbrad53]

Owner’s manual says 60K miles.

[@BohemianWoman]

Would this be the same process for a 2019 LT?

[@DavidStumph]

Yes

[@Mexirican513]

I have a 2018 Chevy Equinox LT diesel, would this be the same way if I were to do it myself?

[@perotross]

Did you get them replaced? Haha... Diesels don't use spark plugs, they rely on compression to ignite the fuel.

[@NowWeEats]

I didn't know they made this in a diesel.... I feel like he was trolling...

[@kezzybaby3503]

Can you do a video for replacing the alternator? An more

[@DavidStumph]

If my vehicle needs one, I will consider adding this to the list. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@ronaldorellana8890]

I pulled the clips and it won’t come off

[@jeremiahsteager8038]

Hi David, do you know if this requires resetting the timing? Or does the computer system automatically do that for you?
Thanks!

[@DavidStumph]

No need, automatically handled.

[@jeremiahsteager8038]

@@DavidStumph thank you! Going to be trying this out this weekend! Appreciate the video and the reply!

[@jmcenterprises9591]

[@DavidStumph]

.028" (0.7mm) according to www.ngk.com/ngk-91970-ilnar8b7g-laser-iridium-spark-plug

Mf trying to charge 200 to 300 for somthing so simple crazy

[@NowWeEats]

I just watched another video on a 2018 Chevy equinox where the ignition coil bolt was a 9mm and the spark plugs were 9/16... But you said 10mm and 14mm... Am I missing something?
ua-cam.com/video/PgsCwjH01wc/v-deo.htmlsi=ol5gMhEu-C-cMvRv

[@DavidStumph]

I reviewed the link you provided. I’d recommend you follow my instructions, they are accurate and won’t increase the likelihood of rounded bolt heads…9/16 SAE is 14.3 Metric, which is larger than needed. I’d like to think my video is of higher quality and accuracy…

[@NowWeEats]

@@DavidStumph oh ok, You were giving metric measurements! okay I understand now! thank you! My neighbor ask me to change her spark plugs. I was looking up videos and I told her it didn't look that hard. I'm just trying to help her out you know? But I'm also not a mechanic...
