I had a few sharks posing as mechanics convinced me to throw parts at my Yukon Denali. They overlooked bad spark plugs and went straight for fuel injectors, throttle body and sensor, MAF sensor and ignition coils. After all of that I was still getting misfire codes on cylinder 6, and I took it upon myself to swap the plug and wire on 6 and wala I’m running like a champ... I appreciate you online mechanics, you guys are doing God’s work with these tutorials and walk throughs. Thanks
So I just replaced them today and mine didn't have any heat shields on them so #8 was actually super easy, so I guess I was fortunate. God actually reminded me to do my spark plugs when I was doing the suspension, but I ignored Him until code p0308 came on and I couldn't anymore. Best to listen when He speaks.
I like to blow each plug hole out with compressed air prior to removing the plug. This will get rid of any sand/dust that could find it's way into the cylinder
Thank you. Cost me $9.76 Sparkplug+grease. I disconnected my battery not sure if that was necessary but it was recommended. Replaced the sparkplug for cylinder 7. Truck runs great again. Appreciate this video!
pretty cool and simple video, i wanted to have a better visual on how to remove sparkplugs on these v8 engines for my 6.0l vortec v8 and this was just perfect!
Thank you so much for this. The passenger rear plug kept me from doing this for a long time. But your video was so helpful - that I just did it and it turned out great!
- Spark plug boot tool useful to prevent damage from pliers. - Thread length looked different on new plugs? - I would not trust pre-gapped plugs due to shipping, dropping & returns.Can gently check with gap tool.
LSX_KINGPIN hey I see you have a tbss , I also have one and it’s the reason why I’m here . Do I have to disconnect my battery to change the plugs ? And what plugs do you recommend
@@pacsoulpavon9649 don't have to unplug the battery and depending on your engine setup you can go with different versions of NGK Plugs. Stock engine is NGK TR5-2238
Was just asking a buddy this morning about using any kind of lube on replacement spark plugs for my 6.0 GM boat motors...helpful tip on this subject, thank!
Hey, so the manual says to use ACDelco 41-962, but some people say to use ACDelco 41-110. I've been using the 41-110 and I've had to change the knock sensor three times already. The engine light is still on. What do you think I should do?
Just picked up a 2011 Silverado 3500 6.0 at auction with 170k. Truck runs good no codes, had it serviced ( oil& multipoint inspection) at local dealership no issues found also I changed air filter. All that being said and not knowing the history on the truck (one of the downsides to buying auction rigs) I'm thinking at a minimum plugs and wires, question would be with these miles do the coils as well or wait?
Any help for an idiot who decided to take all of the plugs and wires out at the same time and now has no idea how the new ones in the correct order. 00 gmc sierra 2500 6.0

#8 is the one that is misfiring, so... Fun. Thanks for the video. I appreciate the time you took. Keep doing everything for His glory.

Thank you for your time and effort making this video, You did a great job with the instruction . American Iron all the way!
Best video by far!
Passenger side is easier to get if you remove the front tire. Direct access to the 2 rear plugs

Why would my boot come off the spark plug . ?where the heat shield insets
Is there any downside to still putting some dielectric grease on there just in case?
On my opinion it comes down to personal preference. Ask 10 people get 10 different answers

What is the torque for the plugs?
Been a while since I filmed this but manuals online state
"Spark Plug Torque 15 Nm (11 lb ft)"
Thanks!
About 3 ugga duggas
Wires won't come off
Damn squirrels
