Had no problem at all on my 2012 RAM. Used the recommended universal
magnetic plug socket. Plenty of room on driver’s side. Not so good on
passenger side for back two cylinders. Electrical wire loom is in the way.
Needed to cut tie wraps and disconnect 4 connectors from the fire wall to
have clearance to remove coils. Last plug closest to fire wall required
sliding plug socket between 2 heater hoses blocking direct access to plug
hole. Otherwise was not hard, just time consuming ~ 5 hours. I see why
dealers and shops want $4 to $500 to swap plugs. Swapped out at 50000
miles, not at 30000. Will swap again at 45000 miles. Plugs had 54000 miles
on them and just noticed slight occasional miss at idle. No degradation in
performance or mileage.

If your 05 is a Hemi it does have 16. Dodge even started putting 16 plugs
in their 4.7 I believe in 2008 (Not sure)… and I’m also not sure about
older Hemi engines –

Nice vid!

Paul Gonzales says:

Thanks for the video, I changed them out yesterday. Took me about 3 hours
including cleaning my KnN air cleaner and 2 beers. Good advice on taking
out the easy one 1st and the hardest one 2nd.

D Murphy says:

I have to do this soon, I hope it goes as smooth as it did in this video
lol!

James Faughnan says:

I found this video very helpful. Even after watching though I still didn’t
thing to put my hinge joint directly onto the plug socket. I went back and
noticed it after I changed my plugs. It would have been much easier to
access the back plugs had I done it the way you showed. The passenger’s
side is definitely much easier than the drivers side. One question though,
are those really 1/2 inch drives you are using? They look like 3/8 drives.

Andrew Ross says:

Nice video. I have 144,388 miles on my 05 Durango with the hemi. I pulled a
front plug and it seems to be the original equipment. Maybe I can up my
17.8 mpg!

ItchyBone says:

Commenting after first 3 minutes…awesome video! This is how I do work
around the house too, 3 BLs definitely in the min equipment list.

Going to the parts shop to get my plugs today. You made this seem like it
isn’t such a daunting task. Thanks. I have the exact same truck, down to
the color, but with about 100,000 more miles.
