How to do a tune up on a HEMI 5.7 in a Ram 1500 4×4. This same engine can be found in several different cars and trucks. We will be removing all sixteen spark plugs from this v8 engine. This is known as a dual spark ignition system. We will replace all of the spark plugs and then manually clean the throttle body. Afterwards a pressure vessel will be filled with an intake, valve and top cylinder cleaner. When the cleaning product is then processed through the engine, the spark plugs will be removed for a second time in order to use borescope to visually inspect the pistons in order to determine the effectiveness of the cleaner on an engine with carbon buildup.

Thanks to Jesse for making the intro and graphic for us to enjoy!!
Great video you even took the extra time to do alot of editing. I don't know where you get the time. Thank You
Most people don’t realize that all you have to say to get off the phone with any of these people is I do not consent to being recorded and they will hang up
Watching this makes me wanna see a induction cleaning, but I suppose that would be incredibly expensive.
I know this an old video. How much do you charge for the service. As I saw very little change. Just what my eyeballs say. Unless it's cheap " which I'm guessing it is not " I would pass. thx for sharing I know your a good mech. but this video was not about that.
Ever seen the piston of a blown head gasket leaking coolant? Clean af. Water works. Also atf. Atf cleans gunk off anything. Keep rpms up and pour in very conservatively
Can you clean it. So dirty gives me the heebee jeebees.
Lizard Lotion
@20:55 you forgot to say GRAVITY!
My 22 charger has more room under the hood lol
Any risk of clogging the catalytic converters?
SCARRY LARRY !
HE DOESN'T START THE SPARK PLUGS BY HAND ?
ESPECIALLY IN ALUMINUM HEADS .
RUBBER HOSE OVER THE INSULATOR .
EASY PEASY
MUCH SAFER
Snake oil!
How about a little less rambling and more repair.
OEM plugs for the 4th gen RAM were manufactured by NGK. The original plugs back when the 4th gen Ram was first introduced were the NGK LZFR5C-11. Those plugs used a nickel center electrode, a nickel ground electrode and were rated for 30k miles. RAM, realizing their poor choice changed the OEM plug in later years to the NGK LZFR5CI-11 plugs. These plugs utilize an iridium center electrode, a platinum ground electrode, and are rated for 100k miles service life. There is also another version of these plugs also produced by NGK; the NGK LFR5AIX-11. These last plugs utilize an iridium center electrode, a nickel ground electrode, and are rated for 50k miles service life. I have seen these last plugs being listed and sold on Amazon by some sellers as being the OEM plugs which is incorrect as these are only rated to 50k miles. Technically they are still partially iridium but they are not the OEM iridium version used by RAM. Again, the OEM 100k plugs are the NGK LZFR5CI-11.
A tune-up should be oil change, motor, trans filter or plug, and brake oil flushed, containers cleaned for that and antifreeze, change antifreeze, change belt if needed, and check the converters with the if have 😂 with computer, power steering flush too or take some out every oil change. Ne careful with Ams Oil trans fluid it has a softener additive that doesn't know when to stop. Talk to Precision Transmission!!!
Old video but I you need to correctly torque them not just go by what you think. I could see if wrenching them down by hand so you can feel after it hits the crush the go 90° more but using specs is always better bc they will all be the same and correct. That "click it" isn't always good for every bolt. I always ran cleaner before installing plugs too…
Ford, Dodge, And Chevy all place their engines so far back, you can’t get to half the plugs, why. There is so much waisted space in the front of the engine. My square body Chevy was a pleasure to work on, my 2005 F-150 is a nightmare.
Hey we don't use power tools on park plugs period whats your problem!!!
Love the ram videos, thanks for the content
Don't believe your lying eyes Raymond
Mr.Rayman you should consider buying cars fix them and sell them
I've had a bore scope that connected to my phone. I could see the image on the screen of my phone.
Most recommend doing top end cleaning when oil change due and then changing the oil after.
I use Lucas deep clean or, better yet, gumout foaming GDI cleaner. I hook these up to an stp Gdi timer dispenser that fits both of these cans sans nozzle. I run this through the brake booster hose. The seafoam cans do not fit, BTW. The gumout stuff smokes like crazy which can alarm the neighbors if it's not a windy day. And no, I do not believe the smoke is actually due to all the carbon being cleaned out.😂 Not snake oil.
There are alot of fluids that work wonders and there are some that are worthless I think high quality cleaners are worth it.
It may say "Hemi" and it may have hemispherical combustion chambers (many other engines use the same technology), but if it ain't a Dodge 426ci hemi, then it just ain't a Hemi!!!
That third piston looked like it came out of my grandmom's engine ('69 chev I-6 bel aire) all kinds of carbon from "idle" driving (idling atound town in gear)
I’m not a fan of the cleaning solution, but if it works then OK, but I just think it’s unnecessary step unless the things seized up or something really bad sticking to try to clean it
Cool magnet gadget, good thing it's the 5.7 cuz the 5.3 is a nightmare and a bad way to say goodbye to the 318
