    Man never,never get underneath a truck without jack stands.You must never depend on any type jack at any given day or time..

    Damn, dude...aside from the compressor/alternator mixup...there’s an access flap behind the passenger front wheel that opens up right to the coil packs. No need to get under the truck how you did.

    This is how every video should be. Informative, humerous, and straight to the point!

    Very helpful video and a big mahalo for taking the time to do it! The part of your video that really helped me out was taping the wires together and having them set in the wire loom beforehand, I didn't have to use a rope to route the wires on the install as the taped wires were like a stick that I was able push up behind the alternator and grab and pull from above by hand. I would like to add if I may for others doing this job, if you push back the mud guard flap of the passenger side inner fender well the coil pack is easily accessible with the cylinder numbers clearly marked on the coils - no need to jack up your truck or remove your tire either.

    Thanks for the video! I just changed the plugs and wires on my son’s 2003 Sonoma and I used your tip for pulling the wires through with a piece of twine. To make it easier, I did remove the front wheel. Instead of using duct tape to bind the wires, I used zip ties. Great video!

    glad you made it out from underneath the truck with no stands...you definitely have more faith in a jack then most but thats the beauty of us all being our own person. all in all it was a great video man thanks for taking the time to make it for us itll definitely make my project go that much smoother

    Your video was very helpful after watching a prior video of a person pulling the wires in reverse from the bottom to the top. That seemed too difficult especially with the 90 degree boots at the ignition coil end. Used the string method with electrical and duct tape to taper the spark plug boots. Also marked the wires using a fine point Sharpie. Removed one good set from a wrecked 2000 S10 w/ AC and snaked them ever so easily (took like 3 minutes at best) up to the top of an identical 2nd 2000 S10 w/ no AC. I did the remove passenger wheel and access the boot connections thru the wheel well flap. Extremely fast and simple. Finished the top end by wiping the grease off the wires and boots with Dawn dish soap on a paper towel. Still retained the Sharpie marks for which cylinder they went to. Next project will be to move the AC system to the running truck.

    Just finished changing wires and plugs on my 99 S-10. I utilized your method: tying a string, labeling the old and new wires, cutting the plugs off, and taping the mass of wires together to snake it back up. Made this really not too difficult. I jacked up the passenger side slightly, and that made enough space to access the coil packs by just reaching under the wheel well. Really wasn't bad! Kinda impressed with myself. Heh.

    This a great video. Thanks It is very simple if you jack up the passenger side and remove the wheel The ignition coil is right behind the flap. 7/32 take off the coil bolts with two long extensions. Rerouting the wires is the biggest pain of the job.

    You don't need to get under the truck. In the wheel well of the passenger side, behind the tire, is a flap, lift the flap and you can see where the plugs go. Reach right in there, no problem!

  • @joew9392
    @joew9392 6 років тому +1

    I think on those you can take the front wheel off and access the wires through the rubber patch behind the wheel on the inner fender. You don't have to crawl under the truck..

    Very informative. I got the general idea. You need to stress SAFETY!! Do not get under a vehicle on a floor jack without a jack stand on either side of the jack, and preferably on the frame on each side.

  • @johnagnew3748

    i found cranking the the wheels to the left you can access the coil packs without getting under, but to each their own.

  • @Ijeyrapboy
    @Ijeyrapboy 9 років тому

    I have a 97, Its a lot easier to reach behind the wheel or remove it completly, there is a flap right there that gives you direct access to the coil packs Just a FYI man. i was looking to see how the hard the rear plug was to get to, im about to tackle this on mine.

  • @garypratt641
    @garypratt641 8 років тому

    If you jack up the body on the passenger side (don't need to remove wheel) you can get to the wires a lot easier. I tried from under the truck and couldn't get them loose. Wheel well is easy and you can see the firing order also...

  • @byron2521
    @byron2521 4 роки тому

    That is the biggest alternator I have ever seen! Just kidding.... sorry for being a troll a**! Yeah, that's the AC compressor. If you don't have working AC, I suggest getting that compressor taken off and having the smaller bypass belt put on. You can work on that side of the motor easier if that damn thing is gone! You can get to the #1 and #2 plugs with the compressor in the way.....O.K. But, I had one of the bolts come loose on the exhaust manifold. That is a b*** to get to with that compressor in the way.
