Did the plugs and wires on my 15 GMC Sierra today. Glad I saw your video. Thought I was going to have to remove the wheel well. Took me a less than 2 hours. Have to admit #8 plug and wire kicked my butt after that pretty smooth sailing. I didn’t remove the covers just kind of lifted them out of the way.
Going through the wheel well is so much easier and less hassle. And for the rear passenger plug just use socket, then swivel attachement the extension. Did it on mine. Less headache
@@JessyWorld yea i wasnt to sure how i was gonna change them. If i was gonna do old school way. But watched a few vids and wheel well just made sense since i was changing brake rotor and pads at same time. Helps having a quarter inch impact also.
Make sure to use antisieze on the spark plug threads and also dielectric grease on the boot to coil and boot to spark plug connections. You'll be thankful you did the next time you check/change your plugs
Appreciate the video and all your hard work. It is so much easier to just pull the wheel and inner fender and you don't have to crawl all over your truck .
FYI change your transmission fluid on those trucks every 40 to 50 k. You can just drop the pan and change the 7 quarts of Mercon 6. Use AC Delco fluid and filter.
It is a lot easier to take off the passenger wheel and splash guard than crawl on top of engine.Not all people are as young and light weight as you.Also you can see what your doing working from the wheel well.
I did mine from the top as well. My biggest issue was removing the spark plug boots. They were welded onto the plugs.. Had to break a couple. Otherwise not so bad of a job.
I don't know if my 01 Yukon is different because I had no issues getting all the plugs out of the 5.3 a week ago, it's completely stock nothing removed, getting Both rear plugs was no issue at all?? I just used a Stanley 3/8 ratchet a 3/8 swivel and a spark plug socket, the front driver's side I had to use an extension. Maybe the other GM vehicles are different under the hood? The only reason I watched a bunch of YT videos about it was because someone said it's a PITA to get the last plugs and I would probably need to remove the wheel wells. Nope I got all 8 replaced in under 45 minutes including the wires. I can say wefe long overdue the gap was 2x what it was supposed to be but it was running fine, ill probably gain a few extra MPGs now😊
Reason why I changed them because at the time when I recorded this video , I barely just got the truck . So I recommend any that buys a new “used” car/truck , do a full tune up . So at least you know when they have been maintenance
Thank you Don Ramon from El Chavo
Lmao 😅
AC Delco spark plug wires have a limited lifetime as well. Great video.

Working from the passenger wheel well is better access plus you can see what your doing.

Awesome video. Just did mine!
Right on! 🔥
I did it brother! Thanks to you❤
Learned a lot thanks
Thank you 🙏🏽
Good shit bro thank you
I hope the torque is on the package because I have a torque wrench.
How many miles were on the truck when you did the plugs and wires? Thanks just curious
Best how to do video I was hating to remove tire fire wall
Thank you 🙏🏽 😎
I was looking for a video like this of course everyone else doing the back plug takes wheel well off cause their fat
...they're fat. If you're going to criticize people at least do it correctly.
thanks for the video take care.
Nice video dealership want 600$ to do this easy job
Serious question, how the hell do you keep the engine and engine bay area so clean?? Looks like new.....mine looks like ass. lol
Thanks bud!!
No problem brother 😎👍🏽

Horale chignon 😎
Just saying these trucks are not 3rd gen they are 5th gen lt engines
It’s 3rd Gen Silverado, you’re correct About the motor gen , since LT has a long line of motor
What mileage were you at?
