I always change all the coils if I have to change any of them. I get the lifetime warranty sets too. It saves a lot of headaches. 🥰❤️
I get it. I did Injectors on a international diesel. 2 bad Injectors at 200000 miles. Recommended all 6. No just do the 2. 3 months later. 1 more goes out. Just do the bad 1. Did it. 5 months later another. I should have just did them all. No shit.
Gas oven circuits usually carbide ignitor as its in series with safety valve…it weakens and won't open valve…ammeter can verify…sayin
So, why no stud replacement, or dielectric grease for these? I've seen you do the grease in the dealership videos.
It's recommended when the coils are that old and or busted, to replace all instead of 1 or 2, maybe 3. Great job!!!
Holy cow! Almost 20k on that there dawdge truk. That's almost 4 times as long as they normally last.
Great going , Rainman !
I was always taught that if there is a pair of something on a car or multiples there of best to change said item or items
Laughing out Loud! I jumped when you got shocked.
Lifter maybe needs oil change ok.
Champion plugs suck bin them put NGK in
I do the same but I will have replaced the spark plugs too I would be safe than sorry
It’s a thumbs up on this one. If you get the notification, it was a slip😁
Whatever happened to the time when vehicles were simple.
Ht caps and leads. Distributor cap , points and distributor. Plus a nice big ht coil.Simple.
When tings went wrong , buy a new set of leads. Unplug old leads , plug new leads in 5 min job. Check distributor cap and rotor for cracks . Check points for correct gap. 30 mins max.
Now max probs caused by over engineering. To much to go wrong. Engines always went broom in the past. You have a good day👍
Idles like a diesel when misfiring
198000 on a Dodge? Thats gotta be a record.
Good work Ray. Repair description was excellent 👍
Maybe it's just me (or my OCD) but I couldn't not replace that broken coil stud bolt 🤣
owe it got me lol!!!
It's the same reason I only replace headlights in pairs. they both have the same run time and if one fails the other isn't far behind. why do the job twice.
Amazed that 4.7L made it a 198k miles lol, those engine were prone to a ton of internal engine failures
schrader valve leak just saying
I have a 97 LHS that actually prefers Champion plugs. Runs like crap on anything newer.
I'm with you, Ray, I hate the hell out of Champion plugs and have since the 70s.
I had one sway bar link go out so I replaced all of them. If one went it the possibility of the others going out is soon. Preventative maintenance!
WELL SAID RAY ABOUT COILS… I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME AND NOW SEEING THIS.. HMMM… THIS SPRING, WILL DO MY OWN.. SO THANK YOU… AND ALL 6..! AND IS A DODGE TOO SO.. BUT FOR NOW….!!!! I SAID NERVER AGAIN DODGE BUT. OUFFF…!!! NICE JOB AGAIN RAY…!
I see a missing AC cap !
Something I did notice is the dash isn't all cracked up.. I see that a lot on these older dodge pickups. they have really thin / brittle dashes…
That engine hood support can you send a link where to buy it please Ray
That car has the smallest throttle body for a V8 suppose it is a Dodge 😆 🤣 😂
Peetah is sooo helpful!
I didn't get to see the zip tie mod
When you were pointing at it I cringed… and then laughed out loud when it zapped you. 😂
Never duscharge a coil without the proper spark gap. If the gap is too wide it will breakdown inside the coil through the winding insulation and degrade the secondary until it eventually fails. NEVER
I am a Mopar guy. But don't understand why they always use Champion. They are the worst spark plugs. Also not sure why you wouldn't replace the plugs too. Unless they are brand new that should be standard operation.
These and newer ones and new F250's Im seeing leaking spark but no CEL on.
I know that film-making is not entirely popular wherever you work, but you've got to think that in a world with the internet, the customer being able to view your fault-finding, and recommendations, that more customers would (rightly) have faith in those recommendations when accepting or declining work to correct?
You create extra work for yourself because of your insistence on using your power tools. You could easily have gotten number five out without having to take the box off. I have watch many of your vids and the overall theme is that you need to use tools that shorten the repair time, but you make more work for yourself trying to make room for your power tools. Power Tools are nice and can save time but when you have to make more work just to use them there is no time savings. Also spinning the tool until it catches on the bolt is bad. You begin to round off the bolts or nuts doing that. You need to make sure the socket is all the way on the bolt or nut before you turn it.
Same with headlights, one burns out change both.
before i even watch the video i am going to guess that it is the coil pack, the spark plungs/wires or the fuel injectors…
Out of curiosity why not just replace the boots?
to change all coils? to change sparks also? i think it wasnt necesary in this case. the coil was firing.just clean it up, get the dirt out,adjust the sparkplugs and pretty sure the engine would be running fine. but at the end of day today the call is for money and guarantee your work.and as long as china is providing us with cheap spares, the mantainence work done by a mecanic os costly, but the diferents to new parts is not that much so people tend to swap instead of maintenance, especialy the shops.
it depends on the owner. if the owner is willing to spend twice a year one afternoon to deinstall coils and sparks, clean it, remove the dirt, etc..give it some wd40 and adjust distance between anode and electrode, they will last for years. i have mine know for 7 years and they still work fine.
if the owner doesnt touch the engine bay – change it all, it will cost him a couple hundred bucks but for sometime this part is of the engine should be trouble free. dont need to open the hood for this. Ray has something todo, everyone is happy
Original, high mileage ignition coils can have a domino effect. Once one dies the rest may be soon to follow!!
I love the diagnosis process. I have to admit though, if I was changing the coils I would have changed those old plugs at the same time. Once you've dug the coil packs out it just seems like a good chance to do them and then forget them for another few years. But hen I suppose that's the difference between doing your own car and working for a customer.
If I was the customer I would have had new plugs installed as well.
Those spark plugs looks nasty you should have been replaced them as well.
Thanks for the video
The ones who laugh the hardest when someone gets zapped, have been zapped themselves!
Pretty bad spark leak. Must have leaked a quart of spark juice a week.
