I didn't see anyone list this yet, do yourself a favor and buy this. It makes spark plugs in these trucks with the 5.7 way easier.

That Gearwrench socket is EXACTLY the one I purchased….which STILL was too large for the hole. It’s the one I “turned” down on my bench grinder before it would work. (4.7L V8 in Ram 1500)

(The advertised price in that link is much lower than the price was 8 years ago…. I seem to recall I paid $28 for it.)

I wouldn't worry about it,as they never put a 4.7 in a Heavy Duty truck

Past spring, my dealership said 6 hour job, can't remember exact price, but was around $1200.00 to $1300.00,. I did it myself, right under 3 hours, 16 plugs about $100.00 to $106.00 (NGK's), I'm 68 years old and my fingers lock up at times from working in the construction industry over 30 years. Not a hard job and yes the rear 2 driver side where a PITA, but do able. Get proper tools, extentions.

Maybe they quoted 6 hours because it takes 3 men to do the job: The technician, the shop foreman, and a trainee!

I did mine for the second time and mine is a 5.7 with a tune due to larger injectors different maf and colder plugs,only 30 on them but here’s a pic of the electrodes and a slightly different underhood pic,no easier except maybe the air box.
