Watch how to change spark plugs on a dodge ram 1500 with #moparbro fred_eazy21
Changing the spark plugs on a Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7L HEMI engine is a bit more specific due to the engine type. Here's a detailed guide:
For the Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7L Hemi engine, the recommended spark plug is typically the Champion 3570 or NGK LZFR5C-11. These are platinum-tipped spark plugs commonly used for this engine model. Always refer to your vehicle's manual or consult with a mechanic to ensure compatibility and proper installation.
The Ruthenium HX spark plug is another option for the Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7L Hemi engine. These plugs are designed to provide improved durability and performance compared to traditional spark plugs. The Ruthenium HX plugs are known for their high ignitability and longevity, making them a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to optimize engine performance and efficiency. Always ensure compatibility with your vehicle and consult with a professional if you have any doubts about installation or performance.
MOPAR SPLZFR5C11 part number
Tools and Materials Needed:
New spark plugs (make sure they are compatible with your specific engine)
Socket wrench with spark plug socket (5/8 inch usually fits)
Extension bar (if necessary)
Torque wrench
Dielectric grease (optional)
Anti-seize compound (optional)
Spark plug gap tool
Procedure:
Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the engine is cool. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid any electrical mishaps.
Access the Spark Plugs: Locate the spark plugs on the 5.7L HEMI engine. They are typically located on the sides of the engine block, beneath the coil packs.
Remove the Coil Packs: The 5.7L HEMI engine usually has coil packs sitting on top of the spark plugs. Detach the electrical connectors from each coil pack. Use a socket wrench to unscrew and remove the bolts holding the coil packs in place. Gently pull the coil packs out of the spark plug wells.
Remove the Spark Plugs: Using a spark plug socket attached to a socket wrench, carefully loosen and remove each spark plug. Be cautious not to damage the threads or surrounding components.
Inspect and Gap the New Spark Plugs: Check the gap of the new spark plugs using a gap tool. The gap specification for your engine should be in the vehicle manual or the spark plug manufacturer's instructions.
Install the New Spark Plugs: Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plugs if recommended by the manufacturer. Hand-thread the new spark plugs into the spark plug wells, being careful not to cross-thread them. Use a torque wrench to tighten them to the specified torque, usually around 13-15 ft-lbs (18-21 Nm).
Reattach the Coil Packs: If applicable, apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the inside of each coil pack boot. Slide the coil packs back over the new spark plugs and tighten the bolts securely. Reconnect the electrical connectors to each coil pack.
Repeat: Repeat steps 4-7 for each spark plug, working on one at a time.
Reconnect the Battery: Once all the spark plugs are replaced and everything is securely in place, reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Test: Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. If everything sounds normal, you've successfully changed the spark plugs in your Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7L HEMI engine.
Always refer to your vehicle's manual for specific instructions and torque specifications. If you're unsure or uncomfortable performing this task, it's best to seek assistance from a professional mechanic.
Ruthenium HX High Ignitability; Pre-Set Gap: 0.044"
NGK Spark Plugs is introducing the latest technology in high ignitability spark plugs to the automotive aftermarket: NGK Ruthenium HX. Today's efficient engine designs create more power while using less fuel and this has shortened the life of traditional Iridium and Platinum spark plugs. In response, NGK's patented Ruthenium technology is used for maximum durability and performance in newer engines where efficiency is demanded.
Features & Benefits:
DFE (double fine electrode) and PSPE (projected square platinum electrode) tip designs. DFE maximizes ignitability while reducing emissions for low heat engines, and PSPE provides the best ignitability and service life for high heat (typically turbo and supercharged) engines.
Superior oxidation resistance and enhanced blistering/anti-peeling to provide the most optimal durability at high temperatures in various driving conditions.
Advanced high-ignitability technology that provides more complete fuel burn than other precious metal spark plugs, resulting in quicker throttle response, smoother idle, and better cold starts.
