Ram 1500 4.7 Spark Plug Socket

[jws123]

I am looking for a spark plug socket verified to work with the 2008+ 4.7 engines. Apparently the one I have for my hemi is not thin enough.. tried 3 stores no luck if anyone knows for sure one that fits lmk.
thanks.

I used a grinder to thin it out. Ran into same problem went to change plug and socket would go down the port thought I was doing something wrong. If you have a bench grinder it works best and it's pretty fast

I second the grinder trick,i have a fair number of plug sockets,and none i had would fit,ended up grinding one of the cheaper no name sockets down to fit.

I bought one from home depot, spark plug socket for a lawn mower. Thing metal is weak but it has 3 or 4 size options by switching it around. It works perfect though so i bought 2 since the first one bent.

Better yet SK has the spark plug socket for your engine
On the SK website, the number seems to be #4421, but in the video below, he says #4422
SK Tools changed ownership in 2010, so maybe there was a number change ?
