[Rampitt]

I have not done a spark plug change yet so I wanted to just look up a video to see how much of a mission it may be.. well they guy said on his 2005 hemi it has 16 spark plugs!! I didn't know that just wanted to make sure I heard it right..

Yes, the hemi's have 2 plugs per cylinder. The back ones are a job... You can do them either by removing the inner fender (from my understanding), or with a specific combination of extensions to get in there.

Yeah the back ones on the driver's side are a *****...variety of extensions and lots of patience. Some people pull the master cylinder and booster to do it.

Just use 3 or 4 two inch ratchet extensions on the back ones and piece them together as you go. They come right out. No need to be tearing the truck apart to get to the plugs. If you don't have enough extensions then go to harbor freight and buy some cheapos and throw em in the trash when you're done if you want. Will be much easier than pulling the wheel well/master cylinder/brake booster.

^this. I hear many say to pull the wheel liners but that just seems like more work an time into something that isn't needed to do the job.

 

[Rampitt]

well Ill be tackling them this weekend. should be fun

I did mine without taking anything off, you can pull things for "easier" access but just means more to put back together, get yourself an array of extension and swivel and git r done

I just did mine on a 4th gen I'm sure it's very similar to the 3rd I just had multiple length extension and a good magnet on a stick I used the magnet to fish the socket out of the hole next to the booster and that made it easy to get the socket and plug out.

I Don't recommend pulling the wheel well liners. Did me no good.

Tip from the experienced, DO not use a locking extension lol, had to cut my buddies in half to get it out cause we weren't thinking when we clicked them together
