1996 - 2000 GM OBS Truck Vortec 5.0L & 5.7L Spark Plug Wires and Retainers Replacement (Chevy & GMC)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video we will be going thru identifying when to replace ignition wiring (aka spark plug and coil wires) and their plastic retainers on old body style (OBS) GMT400 type Chevrolet and GMC trucks. The spark plug replacement service interval on the Vortec 5.0L and 5.7L V8 gasoline engines is every 100K miles. This is the time interval to inspect the wiring components for _potential_ replacement as well.
The truck illustrated is a 1998 Chevrolet K2500 Cheyenne with the 5.7L Vortec 5700 engine option, but the procedure and part numbers I share with you will be the same for any 1996 thru 2000 generation OBS truck or SUV for these same two engines. So Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC for Escalade, Suburban, Silverado, Cheyenne, Tahoe, Sierra, W/T, and Yukon across C1500, K1500, C2500, K2500, C3500, and K3500 weight ratings. While the part numbers will not be applicable, the inspection and installation technique _should_ map over to early model year OBS trucks as well.

Keeping it old school! I have a 98 with same engine. Didn't know those clips existed. Gotta get some. Great video!
Always great content and relevant to my '99 Tahoe 2 door. Will be doing the Brake booster (following your video) and reservoir this weekend, then maybe next weekend get to changing the plugs and wires. I don't want to break down and get a GM Tech 2.. but I think I am going to have to, to keep my old battle wagon on the road. Thanks again.
I change the wires every time I tune mine up. Wires, plugs, rotor, distributor cap. Amazon makes it affordable. And always use AC!

I didn’t know I could find those clips tho. I’ll be ordering some of those
Good information on the retainers ! thank you for sharing . been looking for this a long time !😊
What is the purpose of whatever it is that the lime green cap is protecting? Is that the evap canister line it's on? Never noticed that before.

That's a dust cover for a port into the evap system.

@@DrShock I was wondering what the port is used for (they all don't have them).
Dr. Shock… have you ever replaced the master cylinder in one of these trucks with a 2003 Chevy truck master cylinder? The brakes are much better with the newer model master cylinder. I’ve done it in 3 that I have owned. All 98’s. There’s a plug that don’t get used on the newer part but everything works as it should. Better than the original equipment

It takes an adapter on the front connection but the rear connection is the same

No, I don't do any modifications or take on aftermarket type change jobs. For the folks whose vehicles I work on, as well as my own, it's all pretty mch vanilla stock OEM just as GM engineering designed them.
