How do I remove the spark plug heat shields on a 2002 ram van 1500 I can't get 2 of the plugs out on the passenger side because the shields will not allow the socket to fit over the plug?

I had the same problem. People said to compress (squeeze) the heat shield as there is a slot from top to bottom. Wiggle and pull and it should come out, but it still might take a lot of force to do it.
At least one shield had rusted and that still made it impossible to put a socket on it. The solution to this was to use the drill bore that you can buy to install door hardware. The 3/4 inch bore has a hollow center so if you remove the inner drill bit the bore will fit over the spark plug and you can clean the area around the spark plug out and hopefully use a socket on it.
If you broke the spark plug (as I did) you may still be able to use a socket on it. If the spark plug outer area is also rusted you can break the spark plug off and use a drill and easy out set to remove the plug.

Why would the passenger headlight be brighter than the driver side?
Usually when this happens the side that is dim has a deffective ground to that bulb socket. Please check the socket for contamination and follow the wires with your eyes and hands to determine if the ground wire for that socket is close by and remove and clean it then reinstall that wire. Phil
How do you change rear spark plugs on Chevy Tahoe?
Very carefully. If you don't have time to be patient...don't attempt to replace the plugs. On the passenger side, the front 3 plugs are relativley easy to get to. By far, the hardest plug to remove/replace is the passenger side rear...a real knucklebuster. Because the AC mod is in the way, you may have to try different plug socket (straight socket & swivel socket) and ratchet combinations. The driver side plugs are much easier to remove/replace, although the steering column is somewhat in the way. Again, try different tool combinations until you're able to get to the plugs. You must be patient.
