Goldenrod here. Very good info. The only thing I have offer is, the very easiest way to remove #8 plug, is to lay across the top of motor and come down on top of plug. After struggling for more than an hour. Five minutes that way and it was out. Think outside the box.
Just a couple things after watching a video and reading the comments
The spark plug gap should be 0.040
The engine firing order is
Passenger side
Front 2,4,6,8 Rear
Front 1,3,5,7 Rear
Driver side
Always check the spark plug gap on any plugs you buy. The NGK's I recently purchased were supposed to be pre gapped but instead of 0.040 they were 0.035. The best plug to use are the NGK iridium 7397 TR51X. And always use Permatex anti seize on the spark plugs. The spark plug should also be torque to 11 foot pounds. Don't think the tighter the better because if you strip the threads in the block you're looking at a very expensive repair. Conversely don't think that just putting it in there a little bit will be okay either. Funny thing how spark plugs can be shot out of a block because they were under tightened
Many 5.3 have heat shields on the block protecting the boot of the spark plug. I'd recommend spending the $12 and getting yourself a spark plug puller plier. It saves you a lot of grief and trying to get them off especially around the heat shield. Not to mention you don't have the chance of crushing the connectors because of the way the Pliers are designed.
MSD makes excellent wires, my second choice would be ACDelco
I found Amazon has the best prices for these parts, but don't skip out on some no name brand. The couple bucks you save now could cost you thousands later.
The worst part of all of them to get out is the number 8 on the passenger rear of the engine. I ended up jacking the front up pulling the wheel off and going in through underneath the truck. Automotive Engineers are Sadists.
Although I'm not a mechanic professionally , I come from a family of mechanics and automotive industry line workers. In other words a family of Gearheads and I've been working on cars for almost 50 years.
Wow my friend! You are absolutely right!! Thanks so much for providing me and our viewers with very valuable information! And I agree with that number 8 haha was a bit of a pain! Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback!
You don't gap iridium spark plugs. The computer tells the individual coils how much spark to put out. You only gap regular plugs
@@GuitarP0RN typically yes, they come pre gapped but verify that the gap is correct. I had some that were off.
What coils would u recommend?
I just took out a NGK spark plug out of my recently acquired 2002 Suburban. It was at .070. Looked old so i got a job to do with replacing them.
Rooster crowing in background , so low, thought it was coming from outside my house lol 😂😂 good video, I gotta do mine soon .
Lol yeah!! A lot of people own land around my business hahaha and we do hear roosters all the time! Hahaha thanks for watching! Lol
Good deal man and I like that high-def footage
If you're going to replace coils too, just pull boot off plug and remove coil, skip removing wire from coil, they come off pretty easy usually but why waste the time.
Excellent advise. I guess I had time that day lol 😆 thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe 😉
Thanks great help 😄
Carlos ramirez it’s our pleasure! Thanks for watching! :)
nice video bro I just subscribed a friend of mind just gave me a 2002 Tahoe so she did not take care of it motor n tranny good I'm about to do major surgery on it I'm a electrician by trade but love working on cars my second love keep these videos coming
Hey man thanks so much for watching! Really appreciate the feedback! Glad you got a Tahoe! Thanks man! Sure will! Stay tuned! Keep watching! Once again, thanks for watching!
I've got a 2003 Z71 and will be doing the same
Thanks man, this was VERY VERY helpful!!!!!!!
Lorenzo Johnson you’re welcome!! Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad we could help!
What type of plugs did u use?
@showrunner2183 Idk what kind he used but ac Delco is what's recommended but it really don't matter any will work
Good video quality damn
Thanks for watching!! Thanks for the feedback
I want to hear your review on those Ignition coils.
Might want to lube those wires up so they aren't so hard to come off next time.👍
If ‘ur haven’ Chevy problems I feel bad for you son, you got 99 👍 cause I just added one. *stoned on quarantine
Ayyee!! Knawmsayin’!
Where’s the link for set of tools you have ?
The wires are the hardest part. Also for #8, removing the oil dipstick bolt was the only way I could get my hand down there.
Def Subbed.... Great content. What brand plugs, wires and coils did you use? I'll support your store. Keep up the good work.
My man’ you’re the real MVP! Thanks for your kind words. Some shop on eBay sent me the wires and coils. I ended up buying OEM ones from the auto parts store! I think they were NGK I don’t remember. Thanks so much for watching bud!
Antiseize ,and check gap at .040 people drop boxes…
Lol or not (I've did hundreds of them & never had 1 prob)
@@jaayjr2516 lol, you should be playing the lottery
@erscustoms911 Lottery is scam. I have pulled plugs tip smashed flat,pointing straight out & even missing completely & car was NOT misfiring so I knew at that time it's not too big of a deal (I was very surprised btw)
Kids don’t be watching this it’s rated R 😂 glad I’m 18
Junior Rueda yeah man! You already know lol
It's it the same for a 2007 Yukon Denali xl
If it’s a 5.3 v8 yea
Why did you skip over putting back the metal spring / plug cover, on the bottom?
Hey! Great question! Honestly... eBay sent me these red wires but they weren’t quite doing the job. They didn’t need the metal spring plug cover. They didn’t come with it.. so I didn’t install them. On the other hand. Thanks for watching!!
I was wondering the same as Im wondering my friend decided they weren't necessary. Worried
Nice video thanks
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!
What are the msd wires part number or where can I get them need help
Any will work rock auto I'd a fraction of the cost by the way
is it real necessary to replace the wires if money is tight and can go other places like brakes, and 02 sensors?
excellent question. and honestly no. you don't have to replace your wires. you can do with just replacing the spark plugs! definitely take care of your brakes!! thanks for watching!
The wires “break down “ inside. The conductor loses its integrity and they must be replaced. At least ever other plug change.
I wouldn’t take the chance on leaving those wires on the car while only changing the spark plugs, you don’t know how old and long they been on the car and if those wires have carbon or rust in them or the rubber insulation on them are worn or cracked you are still gonna have a car that is not gonna run right.
@@alphasaiyan5760I tell u what mine has 423k on it & just changed wires today I bought the truck new in 01 & never even changed plugs or wires & it didn't have a misfire just got the plugs&wires for free so I figured I'd change em
@@jaayjr2516 you’ve been pretty lucky or you just had one of those unicorn sets of plugs and wires lol. But if they were from the factory they were AC delco 👍🏼
Oh so that’s a wrench! All this time I thought those were pliers
Lol I’m still learning English!
Thanks for watching tho!
What did you gap your plugs to?
I bought some OEM ones didn’t need to gap them
It's not 1951 anymore 'plug gapping' days are a thing of the past son
Anyone figure out the slight shake at idle I've changed bout everything besides the Intake gasket and cats on my 08 5.3 and this thing still has a slight shake or stumble at idle it's not much maybe a 20rpm decrease or jump however you wanna look at it but enough I think it shouldn't be there! No cel no codes stft plus 1 any help would be appreciated what to look at
A fuel pressure test is a place to start. Low fuel pressure can cause a this. Intake gaskets is definitely a common problem for these motors to.
Did you figure out what was causing the shake at idle?
Completely clean the throttle body air intake, could also be the idle air control
Pour a whole bottle of sea foam in your gas tank when you have about a quarter of a tank of gas in it & run it till empty then full it up after you have run out & it will fix your problem 9 times outta10
Maybe mass air flow sensors
Hello I have a question I am a female who is absolutely tired of overpaying for tune-ups. If you could give me advice on which brand of spark plugs to buy and what all I will need to do a complete tune-up on my own. I own a 2008 Chevy Tahoe. I am going to pay somebody to teach me how to do this on my own from here on out as well as watch your video. Thank you!
Yes they can get very expensive at some point! It’s always best to go Original Parts from Dealership but due to budget reasons you can also get aftermarket parts at cheaper price..
tune-up is a routine maintenance procedure that consists of several different tasks, including replacing the spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter, as well as checking and adjusting the ignition timing and carburetor or fuel injection system. Other tasks that may be included in a tune-up depend on the specific vehicle and its systems.
To do a complete tune-up on your 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, you will need:
New spark plugs
A new air filter
A new fuel filter
An ignition timing light
A feeler gauge
A torque wrench
A spark plug socket
A spark plug gap tool
A filter wrench (if needed)
You may also need other tools and supplies, such as a drain pan, funnel, and rags, depending on the specific tasks involved in the tune-up.
It's worth noting that the specific tune-up procedures and requirements for your Tahoe may vary depending on the engine size, fuel type, and other factors. You may want to refer to your owner's manual or a repair manual for more specific information. Additionally, some of the tasks involved in a tune-up may be best left to a professional mechanic, especially if you are not comfortable working on your vehicle.
😂Ima go fast and furious on my Tahoe and rebuild shit😂😂😂😁😁
Do it bro!!
Why do you have to unplug battery ?
Itskvngrichh2x usually to clear the codes and reset everything.
And also to disconnect the power in case I do something stupid
Thanks man makes sense 👍🏾
Itskvngrichh2x not a problem! Thanks so much for watching! Hope this video helps!
I’m pretty sure you disconnect the battery for safety.
How much do you charge
Hey Kendra. Are you in Houston? Shops usually charge like $150-$350 depending on what all needs to be done
9:50 as long as it goes back in the correct hole :)
😂when it slips out lol"raunchy"😂
Always ... ALWAYS use AC Delco on a Chevrolet. I’ve owned chevys for years and , although you can use other stuff from parts stores , don’t ! Chevys love AC delco. They can tell when other stuff is installed and they don’t like it lol.
100% agree. Went cheap a few times and always came back to bite me. Started paying for the lifetime warranty ac Delco and the parts all hold up great
agreed
Thank u sir I ain't going nothing else
@@TheRoyJames yes sir 👍🏼
@@shanemiller4108 yes sir. That’s the best thing to do 👍🏼
Check the gap homie
Yeah we ended up getting a whole new set from xl auto parts
Hope this guy isnt working on your vehicle, you always want to check the gapping, even on the pre gapped spark plugs Also he uses no anti seize or boot protester.
Tim Stewart Lol 😂 thanks for your feedback man!
Boot protester? What do you have against boots 🥾 😂
@@dumbledoresarmy7569 Dielectric Silicone inside the plug wire
Beer man you forgot the beers can’t do any work without alcohols help
oh I had some form of patience lol
Next time go with OE.
I ended going to get OE Ones.
Thanks for watching!
"Rated R" 🤣🤣🤣
Raunchy! lol
Ratchet lol
how much did this all cost, to slip it out lmao
This video doesn't work for my 1995 Yukon with the 5.7L 350cc V8 and TBI. So You are wrong about this working for any vehicle with those specs
same concept 🙄
except they have coils on cover you have a distributor 🤷🏼♂️ every thing else basically goes the same
Didn’t say anything about gapping. Is it not that important?
No Anti-Seize on the plugs? Don't ever do a tune up on my vehicle!
Lmaoooo it just slips out. Only real men would know
Slips out 😂😂😂😂 that just means your too little
Or she's too wet 🤤💦💦
Lol
We do it buddy lol 😂
