Thank you man this is one of the videos that helps save over $150 and I got to learn how to do it myself. Great explanation and tutorial. Thank you again.
Easy. 2 in extension on your ratchet. Put the spark plug socket on first and then get on to it with the ratchet and extention. You’ll have to wiggle out the ratchet when you back the spark plug out, but it is definitely POSSIBLE.
Hey, so the manual says to use ACDelco 41-962, but some people say to use ACDelco 41-110. I've been using the 41-110 and I've had to change the knock sensor three times already. The engine light is still on. What do you think I should do?
Not bad but I never wear safety stuff. But that's just me and how I did it in the 70s. Also, it would be nice to include tips on the more difficult plugs to get out such as the pass side one up close to the body. Not a bad video, better than many.
Guys DO NOT put Dielectric grease on the inside of the Spark Plug Wire, I did this myself because of the video only to find out later that Dielectric grease is not a conductor, it is an insulator so but putting it on the inside of the wire like shown in the video, it can cause the Spark Plug Wires to not send the electric current correctly. If you use Dielectric grease, apply it to the ceramic part of the sparkplug.
Actually, it’s fine to cover the insulator *and* the contact with dielectric grease. The metal-to-metal contact is where the current flows, and the grease prevents corrosion of the metal contacts. If you aren’t getting a spark through the connection, wiggle, rotate, and push the boot onto the plug. The silicone grease *can* form an airtight seal, so air pressure inside the boot can push it back off!
@@DennisGentry I agree , when the metal snaps on together , that high voltage will pass right on through. The grease will prevent oxidation and possible fusing of the metal.
Ya sure. Show the easy one ....show your mechanics and go for 7. Come on are you able to ...drip pan , crevasse that hides dropping, and just angled so you can only use one hand ...show that. UNCUSSING videos

Whenever I see this guy in a video I know it's going to be informative, reliable, and to the point.

Interesting that that tech manuals for that year range says the spark plug gap should be .060 and later generations of the 5.3L is .040
Do I go with AC Delco or NGK spark plugs ?
wow amazing thanks for always cultivating our knowledge in mechanics
The last spark plug on the passenger side is impossible. Tell me how to get that one off, not the easy ones 🙄
Jack up the truck
Remove the passenger fender plastic cover and you'll have better access
Tire doesn't need to be removed
Swivel socket, extension and half inch drive ratchet came right out

Thank you for the video but I have Duramax diesel 2005 6.6 how many spurk plugs has and where? Thank you

at 2.57 you did not use any thread sealer? cast or aluminum makes a difference as well.
Thanks
But what if you don't have those special tools to tell you how tight u put
The one on the passenger side very difficult to get to you. Need a 1-in extension

You still had the wrong plug. The only plugs that engine should have for that model year is the ACDelco 41-962 plugs.
Which spark plugs do I need for a 99 Silverado 4.3 V6?
nah ac delco 41-110 work as well
@@dvera9726 lol idk
You can use the ngk tr56 spark plugs
Controversy
Torque spark plugs? Hummm🤨
Here is number 7
Why would they only show one getting done they ain’t shit😂😂😂😂
2011 F-150xlt 3.5 6cyl fuel inje
Cut out the crappy noise! We just want the information not a headache.
What's with the gloves?....lol...lol😂.Must be a zoomer thing. Real mechanics don't .
