Complete step-by-step guide on how to replace the spark plugs on your Chrysler 3.5L V6-powered 300, Charger, Magnum, Pacifica etc.
I am a single woman and would like to thank you so much for such a detailed video 😊 You saved me so much money by doing this myself. I broke one nail but it was worth it 🤣 I honestly didn't have the egr gasket on right the first time so I did it twice...Happy New Year 😁🎉
This was probably the best video I’ve seen for this type of work. I was actually nervous about doing this myself, but after seeing you do it. I am confident that I can do it too. My dealership was wanting nearly $2,000 to do a simple spark plug job.
Oh my goodness
Fahk!
Dude ur a hero I love how you went step by step so show off everything and explained all the tools you need instead of some of these other dudes blowing through it like it's a damn race and keeping their camera in a fixed position
Thanks to all the automotive engineers whose designs have turned a simple operation into a complex pain in the butt. I've got 130K on the gold tip plugs and it still idles great. Until that changes, They will remain. Nice vid!
Of all the videos of this type I have watched, none of them cover installing the plenum gasket and EGR gasket. Also I learned how to correctly install a "crush" gasket. Thanks bro!
Great video, lots of detail witch helps get the job done right. One suggestion, put a piece of vacuum hose on top of the spark plugs while lowering into the chamber, this will help start threading the plug into the head then simply pull it of after a couple of turns.
Great video. I like the helmet camera cuz show more details than the regular or any cellphone camera.
Thank you so much for this video. This is the first video that broke down all of the steps into clear, concise, and understandable terms. I own a 1999 Chrysler Cirrus 6 cylinder and the information that you gave in this video for this particular model gave me enough information to be able to figure out how to remove the manifold on my vehicle and get the spark plugs changed. Now all that I need to find is another video like this that shows how to replace the fuel pump on my vehicle.
Great video.. Just Fyi for the new diyers. Be careful gapping the spark plugs to not break the tip on the plug.. Also it be better using a good spark plug socket that will hold the plug.. Dropping the plugs in take a risk of closing in the gap.
I was about to type this lol but decided to check the comments, It's a good video, but as you stated be careful when gappin and I would not drop the spark plugs in.
First class demonstration, explanation, and production. Keeping it plain, simple, and thorough.
Getting ready to change the plugs on my 09 Charger & also have the #1 fuel injector throwing a code. Fantastic video , to the point and extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to post the video. You know what your doing !!
Your video really helped me I have a 2010 Dodge Challenger and this video really came through for me thank you good looking out man, thumbs up!
Great video and excellent instructions all around. I totally appreciate your time and patience given on showing step by step procedure on completing this job. thank you very much, very helpful indeed.
thanks for the video,doing my mom's charger in the morning. Glad I watched this. Only one so far, with the torque specs on install. Thank you
Debbie Spring how'd it go? I have a 2010 charger I'm about to work on. Any advise?
Thanks for posting up a great video. Straight to the point, and without rambling on. If I could make one suggestion, while you have the upper intake off, it would be a great time to replace the PCV valve. They are a bear to replace with the intake in position. Semper Fi.
PCV can be easily replaced with right wheel off and from the bottom
Ron Walsh it’s actually pretty easy to change Pcv valve I did it yesterday and removed the purge valve and then used screwdriver to remove the hose to Pcv valve and used 24mm socket..
I'm half way through your video and I'd just like to say thank you on your walk thru I have a 07 charger that I plan on changing the spark plugs myself, saving some money. Your walk through is very throughough and helpful thank you Sir!
Thanks walking my daughter through this tomorrow morn. R. I. P winter break!!
Very well done with just the right detail and narration, thanks!
when doing this job its a great time to change that hidden pcv at the back too
I agree
This video really helped. My red lightning light came on and yesterday and I believe a bad gasket on my egr is the reason. Im going to clean the throttle body while im under there. Hopefully I wont have to buy a new throttle body.
Right on bro it took me way longer lol but followed you step by step I really liked how you talked in detail about each little thing again thank u I'm definitely subscribing!!!!
great video, simple easy to follow step by step, thanks might tackle my 2007 magnum this weekend
Why dont we just take apart the whole engine and rebuild it while were at it? Lol
Lol
Exactly, just remind me not to buy anymore Chrysler or Charger with an engine like that
@@tamariodumas6895 why? I’ve seen 3.5’s get over 350k miles
Too much work, and too much time. The car is nice, but the maintenance sucked. Maybe it not for me, I like something very accessible where I can get to under the hood and not like taking off 20 different part trying to get to certain things. Have you seen the video of how they change oil on a Bugatti Veyron? So ridiculous
@@tamariodumas6895 yeah I hear ya man. I totally get it. But hey, nothing ever comes easy haha
Thank You This video helps me out a lot. I just bought a 2007 Dodge Charger stx with a 3.5 liter . I also need to replace the spark plugs .
Damn good camera view!! But u could of used a leaf blower to blow those leafs off the wipers n windshield.. lol
Lmao
Had no luck trying to remove the intake and did not want to remove the cross bar. After 45 minutes 😬.
I tied a rope to hood hook and intake, this gave me enough clearance to change all the spark plugs.
Great video. Your explanations were very clear and you showed how to do something where there was a possible question.
Trick is to remove the upper cross bar and it will give you room just do not over tighten the bolts they will snap
Thanks for the tip..!
Great tutorial, the video and narration was solid man!
Dropping the plugs into the holes will definitely affect the Gap you just set so definitely the seat the plug into the rubber holder in socket
Damn bruh.. I'm just gonna take it to the shop... great video though!
Amazing video! Just changed my plugs today in my 2010 Charger. Highly recommend 💯
Thank you for the tutorial. Followed it. Forgot to seat EGR gasket properly. Took it apart again but now working well. 2005 300 limited 269,000 miles car. My ld little lady neighbor got her money's worth out of it.
Thank you for this video after 1 hour of just repeating the video but I got them on my car thanks again
Very good and complete video. Really gave me the knowledge needed to do this job.
Great video but I do agree with Walsh and change the PC valve or at minimum the small round silicone seal that goes on the back of the intake. Also be sure to put anti seize compound on the spark plug threads.
I forgot to mention, don't use white lithium use dielectric grease on the boots
Are you trying to be an asshole?
the only problem i have with this is never start wrenching out the spark plugs like he did in this video, you run the risk of breaking them inside, use steady pressure to crack them open then gradually wrench it out, not full on force like this guy did but otherwise this is one of the better examples on youtube of sparkplugs for a 300
I think doing one plug at a time would be safer keeping from something falling into open plug ports but other than that great video thanks
Great video. I like how he shows the do's and dont's.
He made it look simple
Dayum, talk about labor-intensive... I miss my 57 chevy
I like the video but damn my OCD on them leaves by the windshield is killing me lol
So I saved this video to watch later when I was gonna do my manifold swap .(old manifold was giving me a p1004 and I swapped both runner valves and still have a code… got a new but used manifold to replace it )
So I shot it from the hip today and did it similar to this video and I removing the tiny spark plug boot “bolt” fell lol not in the manifold but somewhere in the engine😂😂😂 I’m like ughghghgg grrrrr 😤😤😤☹️I looked all over the engine bay , jacked up my car and looked underneath in grass and no luck lol 😂😂😂 so I just used a bolt I had laying around. That fit it so I installed it in the front so I’ll change it later by just lifting the front part of manifold…. No way I’m taking it off again lol😂😂😂
Also, I strongly believed the previous owner never changed their spark plug although showing me receipts from auto shops showing they did a tune up😂😂😂😂 bought it at 180k miles,,, has 210k miles and spark plugs looked like it was sitting in the bottom of a lake 😂😂😂😂 rusty af and huge gap at the spark tip wtffff ….. usually when I buy used I do oil change, tranny flush spark plug change etc etc etc…. But seeing how much work you gotta do just to get to the spark plugs, I waited 30k miles later to finally do them 😂😂😂😂😂 good video ! 👍👍👍
Amazing sir! Thank you. Feeling confident at my attempt. You're saving me a financial headache.
I have an ‘09 300 Touring with 150k miles and it is due for new plugs. I didn’t realize you have to rebuild the engine to replace the plugs. LMAO. I’ll take it to the shop for this one. Sheesh.
Thank you for posting this video, Very helpful. Now I know it will take a day to do lol.
Thank you for this video. Your very good at explaining everything.
Great video! Very detailed and very descriptive. Thank you!
Best video I seen all week
Thank you for this, perfect job
muchas gracias. Gracias a ti pude cambiar las bujias a mi carro y me ahorre una feria
Eso vergaaa
Thank you help me build up my confidents
This video helped me get the job done. Thanks man, much appreciated.
Thanks man ur video helped me do a full tune up ..i appreciate it
Timeless video thank you so much 💫
Great video, I learned a lot about my 2010 charger by watching watching this video, I've never seen spark plugs on the top of the valve covers except on a Hemi, is that considered a Hemi? & when did Chrysler do away with the distributor cap?
Thanks for posting the video
How long is you extension to reach the sparkplugs? Thanks!
7:02 "... a really inconvenient place for the dipstick tube". At least it HAS a dipstick tube. A Ford F-150 doesn't have one, and you have to crawl under the truck and use the four-inch dipstick.
i gotta say thanks man, saved my uncle tons of money with this,im able to replace them for him, but damn, do they make the spark plugs hard enough to get to now? lol
Jamie Plowden exactly how I feel and I ain’t even start yet talking bout some overwhelming shit...smh
@@colorkinzeylol
I’m at 200k miles in my charger and it runs fine so ima wait till 300k miles lol
Holy shit... Looks like I'm going mechanic 😅
Great video!! Thank you for your time!
Thank you your video helped me
On a windy day your lucky all those leaves on the wipers did not blow into the engine!
Is incredible how motors had changed with time , the .more newer the more complexity
@illegal alien he doesnt said the year of the car but yea it could be a 10 years old if is a 2010 .. Maybe 2009
@illegal alien yeah but judging by the motor and the wide of the car that is a 96 to 2010 3.5. L so basecly the most recent dodge motors its doenst changed too much since then
3/18/2020 you are the man dude thank you for the helpful info
Ty great to get a lesson from another lefty
Thanks for the heads-up on the EGR. Did you have to loosen the lower fasteners on the valve before taking out the tube?
That's what I wanted to know also.
Better vid than the big dollar vids lol
fyi- if you cant get intake off because of tranny tube, you can still easily access all 6 spark plugs by leaving it on.
Hi Autorex. Do you have a video on how to remove or how to replace the rocker arm assemblies on a 2010 Dodge Challenger 3.5L?
Great video sir. Please what's the name of the name of this engine?
Solid video man!
You are GOOD dude! Great job!
super helpful. and easy. thanks for posting!
Is this the same procedure for a 2009 Charger V-6 SXT?
Awesome video. Thanks a lot.
Yes Works For Any Dodge Charger/Challenger/Magnum Between the years 2006-2010 with a v6 3.5l motor.
Nice instruction, but harder than it looks like 😅✌🏾
You didn't bench test the spark plugs sir before installing even though it's new. Nevertheless, it's a Nice video
I did mine today be careful I had one spark all the porcelain break off and fell into the whole landed on top of the cylinder. Took me 3 hours to get it out smh! Also make sure that egr valve is all the way in or you car could go into limp mode etc light pops up
Wow great job brother.
Careful with that white lithium grease
... Try dielectrical grease
No mention of the EGR tube? If you don't loosen it will be harder to remove and reinstall the upper plenum.
Thanks saved me 400.00 bucks
I just did this yesterday with your help. Fuck that EGR Tube!! I had to put it as I was setting in the plenum. 2008 with 220000k
Question: wouldn't you want to change the coils, wires and gas filter (if applicable) when you tune the car up ? Thanks
Gas filter is in the gas tank. External gas filters are becoming rare.
Very best explanation video, I have seem thanks do much.
Cool thanks
I did all the steps correctly from what I saw but now when I start my car I get loud popping noises. Any advice?
thanks 4 the video
Damn, I have a job on me when it comes time to do a tune up 😃😂👌👍
Just saying the slanted side on the Egr Valve Gasket does not face the intake, the Flat ribbed side does it opens like a umbrella and creates a seal.
I do see the video is 4 years old.
You didn't put a new gasket on?
did this once awhile ago didnt quite get the egr tube gasket back in when i did that had some trouble starting when it was really cold out like it couldnt starve the motor or choke it enough to start. would just pull to much air thru the hole then like a intake leak
Buen video amigo
I have a chrysler 300 3.5L 2005
when my car is cold, it works well when it goes near normal temperature with emergency transmission and it does not pass me 3500-4000rpm and put it in the computer with the camshaft position sensor P0016 I changed it and brought me the same problem again
Extremely great video but I keep seeing people run the gap checkers through these type of plugs, DO NOT do that, sure fire way to screw up a brand new spark plug. It's a stock motor, no need to go checking gaps. Buy them and install them that's it. Use the right tool to check iridium plugs before you snap the tiny electrode off... and for goodness sake all you gotta do is pop the button on the wd40 can, it don't take tons to get everything slick and you also don't have to turn around and spray the other part that's going to go on the same thing you already sprayed too lol.
I didn't have to loosen any EGR bolts. Aside from that extremely annoying, "For Dealer-Use Only" transmission dipstick getting in the way, the plenum moves away from the EGR pipe.
LOGIC is that if the EGR TUBE isn't properly reinserted your car will shut off while it's idling.. so other words it'll cause a mass vacuum leak
Torque specs for the plugs?
I read on here that you guys suggest using only champion plugs. What about the ignition coil? What brand matters on those?
