Message:
I was wondering if anyone would be cool enough to walk me though the replacement of spark plugs on our 2001 4.7 Daks. I alreadly bought a set of Champions, now I just need the know-how. Thanks

Do you have a spark plug socket? It's a deep 5/8 inch socket with a rubber tube in it. You will need it to remove the spark plugs.

Remove anything that is in the way of getting to the coils. Remove the electrical connector from each coil. Remove the nut that holds the coil down. To remove the coils, pull up and twist side to side at the same time. They may be a little hard to get off but just twist it and be patient. Get a spark plug socket with a long extension because the plugs are pretty deep in the holes. If you can, blow away any dirt that is around the plug in the hole with compressed air. Remove the old plug. Have a look at it to see how your engine is running. Gap the new plug (.040 I think). Install new plug (i don't remember the torque spec). Some people like to use anti-seize compound on the threads of the new plug so it won't be too difficult to remove the next time. You can also apply a little dialectric grease to the rubber part of the coil so it won't be so hard to get off next time. Dont forget to put the electrical connector back on the coil! Enjoy your new plugs.
