Thanks for you time and effort making this video. Correct torque is 13 ft/lbs as you said. Just a fyi...do NOT use anti-seize as the plug manufactures state, it can "throw off you torque values and cause over tightening" and head damage. Remember, your screwing into aluminum and is soft!
Their official shop repair manual from Chrysler for 08-10 does recommend the anti-seize. They even “suggest” their mopar anti-seize platinum in the same section this guy placed it actually.
From my own experiments, I have found that the reason why they say not to use anti-seize is because it can make the "click" on the torque wrenches so dulled that you wouldn't even feel it. Hence, why in order to stick to the needed specs, you must be able to feel the click easily. (Which is what is meant by "it will throw off your torque values"!) This happened to me when I used anti-seize. There was a click on my torque wrench, but it was so subtle that I wouldn't have noticed it at all.
I know this is a old video. I'm doing my first spark plug change on a mopar engine. I like to watch videos with same projects, so i can see what I'm getting myself into. I notice that you didn't check spark plug gap. Very important as it could lead to misfire even spark plug failure and or damage to engine. Anybody that doesn't check spark plug for cracks and most important the gap, shouldn't be anywhere near an engine. Thanks for video.
Thanks for the help in this vid....this is the first time I've ever done something myself with my car other than changing tires, lights, and small stuff
I read 22 ft lbs of torque but read 13 in the comments. Which is correct?! Also, I bought TT plugs that are gapped 0.44. I think factory are gapped LESS, at like 0.40. Should I Regap them to factory specs or leave them be? Thanks!
You should have got the normal copper or nickel spark plugs that are recommended for the car. If you use the platinum or iridium it has a chance to stall out the car at highway speeds
@@guildensteinfoutch6232 I went to dealer and they said OEM recommendation was NGK Iridium. That's what I'm putting in. I only had time to replace 6 of the 16 last weekend and it seems like they are helping with fuel mileage already with only some of them replaced and they are good for 100,000 miles.
I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 with a 5.7 Hemi. It has just over 30,000 miles on it and runs great. I've been thinking of changing the spark plugs but I'm worried that the plugs might be stuck to the aluminum heads after all these years and could either break off or ruin the threads in the head. Have you ever heard of that happening?
nasedo3129 never head of anything like that .i think you should be fine taking them off. Ik because I took spark plugs off a car that was never replaced there spark plugs before.
MOPARGuy so sorry can’t remember in top of my head . But ik I used a torque wrench , 3/8 socket with magnet to remove spark plugs , 10mm socket with a socket wrench . Also some Extensions

4k custom I have an 09 rt I need to change out the spark plugs due to lack of speed I noticed what spark plugs would you suggest
13 ft of torque, where did you get that info?

Thank you for the advice I definitely have checked the gaps from now on
The engine sounds fine...sounds like it was too loud for the camera to handle..jeez people. Good video man thank you
Thanks for the help in this vid....this is the first time I've ever done something myself with my car other than changing tires, lights, and small stuff
Did you have any problems with swapping them?
@@haydenhall5326 there was one that was stuck and a couple that were tight but I got some w d 40. Other than that it was easy
I have the 2014 police pursuit awd 5.7 hemi I love these cars
@Jr Jr wrong dodge started these models in 2014 for the charger RT and also the charger pursuit model look it up do your research before you respond
@Jr Jr hemi awd was discontinued for 2015-current. I have the 2014 5.7 AWD as well. love the car
@R/T boy 954 I gotta hemi awd
Always remember to inform your views on which angle to turn the bolt lose. I've noticed I'm the only one who tells ppl this
Good ol lefty loosy
Sounds perfect? My 2012 Charger RT Police ain’t never sound like that...
.50 gap with champ coppers is key
Not if it's a vvt hemi
Coppers in a Road and Track package charger lol
This video just saved me money. Thank you
Np 👍🏽👍🏽
Cool Video but I noticed you never gapped your spark plugs or didn’t mention it.
i think i know what you’re talking about but can you explain it briefly. ik i’m a lil late
good job bro!
8:10wtf is that noise ??
You should be using copper plugs, for the older model
Thanks man helps a a lot!😁
Do I need that huge wrench to put them back in or could I use a regular one with a long connector
Get one that’s long that way you can torque it properly
@@4k_custom thanks I appreciate it
How many times do u have to tighten them ?
@4k customs same process for 2015 5.7?
Nicolas James yes
Which coil is #5..
Homie u didnt unplug the battery before working on the car??????
SELAxLIFE my fault your right . Well never happen again thanks for the advice
Do the plugs come gapped already or did u have to gap them.
always gap them

tommy d u should regap them at 0.40
tommy d what does that mean regap??
Did you ever find out what is proper torque?
You should have got the normal copper or nickel spark plugs that are recommended for the car. If you use the platinum or iridium it has a chance to stall out the car at highway speeds
No it doesn't
Dumbest comment I've ever read
The car comes with iridium plugs
Bro thats not true lol, iridium is the best to use
That's for the older non vvt hemis. 03-07 they use copper.
“Coilovers”😂😂
3:24 got all the coilovers removed lol you mean coil packs
They're also called 'coil-over-packs' or COP's.

Whats the name of that flexable ratchet piece?
It’s a swivel socket
What Spark plugs was used?
John Johnson the NGK spark plugs
How did the ngk plugs work out for u guys. Ive heard always use champion spark plugs in the 5.7

I have a 06 magnum rt @ 287414 just changed plugs when I got it @ 220kand again at 250k no problem
you forgot to gap your plugs or check them for gap
The police model is a pursuit not an r/t
What size spark plug socket did you use?
Only Truth a 5/8 socket with a magnet
Bending the dip stick. Well, ambigasm.
O.E plugs are Iridium, those plugs are platinum. Have you had any problems with the platinum ones?
Steelmatic Hemi not at all . Haven’t had an issue
These engines were designed for copper. If you want better performance use copper, if you want longer lasting plugs use iridium
@@Vegz0rz the engine was designed for copper? Where did you find that info
Dealers wants 900 for this service. I shall be doing it myself
Dealer wants 400 for mine, they buy the platinum plugs for 200 then 200-250 for labor, if I brang my own iridium plugs labor is still $250
HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS ON MY R/T$$$&
Dodge says 18.5-22 feet-pounds torque.
Right!
did you gap the spark plugs?
Yes just that I forgot to put it on the video
@@4k_custom what’s the numbers for the gap?? I’m I’m replacing my plugs tomorrow and so far I keep seeing 0.43????
They charge 400 dollars for this at dodge
Car Crazy omg that’s crazy 😦😦
@@4k_custom $500 at Pep Boys
Yeah it's a lot
What tools do you need?
ArabFilmz got the tools from Walmart

Ok i noticed there’s no spark plug wires
It’s 20lbs
Can you do mines I'll pay you🥺🥺
Yes
Dm on sc, ig, fb 4K Custom
Did it run better after you put the new plugs in
Whoa Weezy less shaking but yes
@@4k_custom I wonder what causes that
@@4k_custom my car shakes at idle especially on cold start , could this be spark plugs ?
How many spark plugs does this car have??? It looks like there are 2 plugs per cylinder.
Car Rizzle 16 spark plugs . That’s correct
Most dodge hemi motors have 2 spark plugs per cylinder
