Spark Plugs...Who Has Changed Them Themselves?
 

shouldn't be difficult. i'll see if i can get sean, mopar mechanic to chime in or i'll call and ask him. get back to ya.
great to have ya on bro!

Sorry bro, still waiting for the call back on the specifics. I should find out for you tomorrow, sorry again.

just got off the phone with sean and he said that you only need to take out the intake, because it covers 3 spark plugs and you need 5/8 socket head to replace the spark plugs. let me know how it turns out?
good luck!

No problemo! Just glad I could assist. Let me know if you need anything else?

almost forgot the most important part, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery before you start.

See post 10! :bigthumb:

thanks for the link bro!

Yea...that is a good idea..
Thanks Cody!

No problem guys! i just asked this same question like a couple days ago lol

Cool! Timing is perfect! Lol

how often are we supposed to change these?? i was thinking about them the other day

Damn! i didnt know they needed changed that often! hmm i got the car at like 70K so that means they should have been changed twice now? im not sure if they have but well just go ahead and do it lol

im close to 60 so i know im gonna need them soon

Cool! What plugs you go with? For those that havnt bought they're plugs yet, go to www.RockAuto.com, they have the best prices. I got a full set of iridium NGK's for cheap.

ROFL!!!!! are you serious? how many miles? don't push it too long.

My dad changed mine out for me. I never dreamed my car had 16 of them!

lol. yea it's a shocker when you first find out, but the V6's don't have that many.

Yup, 16 of them. I've changed the plugs on two of these cars now. It just takes a little time. Make sure you get some dielectric grease too for the plug boots, as well as some antisieze for the plug threads. You're also going to need a 10mm socket to remove each one of the coil packs. once the coil packs are unbolted, you will have to pull them straight out- this might take a bit of force depending on how long its been since they were off. After the coil pack is out, you will have access to the plugs. They are located about 8" into the motor, so you'll need at least one socket extension to get to them. Hardest plugs are the ones located near the firewall, just not much room to work. Just take your time and you'll be fine!

Oh, gap I believe is a .045, and torque is 13 ft/lb (this is if I remember right!) :D

nice write up on how to. his is a little different, being a V6. thanks bro!

btw, your right, the rears where a bitch to get out, mine were in for 50k. they were in there pretty good, my strut brace didn't help either.

Ahh hell, a V6! Then you'll be done in a third of the time, and PLEASE, make sure you only buy 6 plugs, not the 16 mentioned in my previous post! :o

Oh great! Now your going to neglect your true baby. Lol. Make sure you keep us updated and post pix.

Ugh, thats like putting salt on a cut. Your killing me.....as I step into my Chevy Traverse LTZ...lol. Well I'm thinking about trading it in for GCSRT, when I see it in person. Dangerous.....
