- Hello everyone! Thanks for watching my video, i do apologize if the audio is a bit on the lower side im currently moving so i had to improvise a little bit. If you found this video to be helpful in any way or form please be sure to hit the like button and/or subscribe! Any questions please leave them down in the comments below!
Wish this creator would have added sizes of all bolts and sockets in their tutorial as that is always extremely helpful.
You'll need 8mm socket , 10mm wrench and 13mm wrench
Thank you. Just what I was looking for in this video
Appreciate the video! Hardest part is definitely taking that intake manifold off. There's an aluminum line bracketed to the rear manifold bracket bolt with a retaining clip. I had to break the clip to get to the nut. I did all 6 spark plugs with new coils in about 3 hours and I HATE working on cars. Props to all the professional mechanics out there, I'll stick with HVAC lol.
Ohl! Are you talking about the small one on the passenger side? Yeah I couldn't get a good visual on the one but its easy with a small ratchet wrench
@@mechdjango3490 its on the drivers side on the black bracket that the manifold bolt goes through. There's a push on clip on the bolt that holds another bracket against the nut that needs to be loosened to move the manifold bracket.
Oh that one!
50+ year old female here getting ready to do this job on a 2012. I planned it for a 4-day weekend because I KNOW I'm gonna screw something up. This video will help - great vid compared to some others.
There is a bracket or 2 on the right side holding the manifold. You should be able to feel/see it
The best video on this subject, no complaints, no wining.
Always do the hard side first! Makes complete sense!
Thanks man this is going to help me replace some rocker arms that are making some ticking noise already. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to take out that air intake top manifold. Thanks and keep up the good work.
The ticking noise is usually due to the lifters
How much is the lifter
Try seafoam first. Worked for me.
Jeez! Can't believe it's this complicated compared to other cars
My Audi 3.0T is a piece of cake compared to this. Unreal
Thank you for making this video. I couldn't of done it without your guidance. Girl Power 💪
You're welcome and thanks for watching. :)
Great video angles and clear directions, thanks!
Torque specs are 89in lbs or 7.4 foot lbs for the intake manifold bolts.
This is the job that convinced me I needed a torque wrench. Snapped a bolt off in the manifold and then the plastic on the manifold cracked trying to remove it.
😮😳 Been down that road before lol. Not the manifold but I've snapped my share of bolts off 🤦♂️
Thanks for the video! I'll be doing my plugs soon.
Great video! What are the tools needed to do the job? (specs, sizes)
Wow brother thanks you so much this is going to help out a lot !!!!!!!!!
Wow you make it look easy 😎
So glad I found this video! I have to replace my ignition coils and spark plugs and this is great instruction for getting to those parts.
Thanks for the video
great job and i appreciate the work its motivation
Perfect video. Get to the point no bs stuff.
Great job and explanation! Thanks!!!
I just had the oil cooler replaced, would have been the time to change the spark plugs, but of course the mechanic didn't tell me that, so now I get to pay for all of that labor again. He broke the end of the fuel rail disconnecting the fuel line last time, which caused it to be in the shop for a week, waiting on parts, he didn't charge me for any of that, and accidents happen, but dang, I wish that I had known, I just started noticing that it was running a little rough at stop lights.
Thanks alot bro! Great video!
😁👍
Great video man thanks
Do you have to take the manifold off to do just the plugs seemed like enough space to get to them
How many kms or miles before I need to change?
Great video. I watch it a few times every few months cause I know this is coming before fall. Thank you sir.
Always refer to the owner manual but usually about 80k miles is a good time to swap em
Mine went out at 63k 2015 Durango
@@raym6991 mine just went out 2015 Durango 85k miles
Thank you so much for this. Saved me a few hundred dollars. Plus you guys made me laugh.
The toilet sound in the background @4:28
Would the gaskets that should be replace be considered upper or lower intake manifold gaskets? And which one is the 2nd cylinder?
Upper plenum gaskets
#2 is first one on the right just as your watching the video
@@mechdjango3490 thank you so much for the video and the response. Helps out a lot!!
How tf did u get the driver side rear bracket out by removing only the top nuts?
Thanks for the help 🤙
I agree with doing the hardest part first.
The intake is different on a 2017 Durango.
Can I know where is number 2 coil??
So did you just repalce a few coil packs or do them all? I have a #2 misfire and so i just got all new plugs but i dont know if i need to replace all the coil packs or just the one that is misfiring, same year and make as the one in the video
Every vehicle and situation is different as not every fault is due to a spark plug AND coil. I would however, if possible replace the rear coil packs in order to avoid doing the job all over since the from ones are easily accessible.
Great video thank you
Does anyone know where cylinder 2 is? Cant find a firing order online
On this one it would be first one on the driver side
@@mechdjango3490 So would 5 be the rear on the passenger side for a 2014?

Much appreciated
No torque wrench or gap spacing measurements on the plugs?
Those 2 bolts on back of throttle body are the worst
Would it make it easier to remove the wiper cowl?
@mechdjango what size of socket did you use to remove the torx studs at the manifold support bracket on the drivers side
How long will replacing the spark plugs take
Here's what's strange at beginning of video you said 2015 Durango. Looking at the oil cap it says 5w 30. Mine is a 2015 it says 5w 20. But I put 5w 30 in it anyway. .. Strange
How many hours does this take To complete?
I had a coil go bad. The mechanic said it was failing when it go to a certain speed it would sputter and I have to come off the gas. They changed the coil it worked ok but now it just sputters all the time. Why wouldn't they change all the coils at once?
Ever find your problem? I’m experiencing the same thing as it sputters at certain speeds and have to either accelerate or decelerate
Do you have to replace the coils with new spark plugs?
Question! Have you ever encountered a ignition coil with a stripped bolt particularly on that 6th cylinder and if so what on earth would you do?
No i actually havent thankfully. So there are stripped bolt sockets, vice grips with a dremel grinder
@@mechdjango3490 thank you for your reply
What size socket did u use to remove the spark plug?
He sounds like Micheal jackson lol
Do this cars have a serviceable transmission? My 14 Durango dont have a dipstick. Also how tight you put those spark-plugs? Thanks!
You have to buy the dip stick if u wanna check I had to do the same
Do you know where is the fuel injector number 3 located?
Second one on the left from front to back
@@mechdjango3490 the front of the truck ? or my left standing in front of the truck
@@mechdjango3490 left is ALWAYS the drivers side
I’ve already fixed the track light which was a PITA but dear god this job looks just as big. Wtf dodge, why is it so complicated lol. Do you know which ignition coil #5 is? Durango GT has slight rough idle which threw P0305 code and it’s saying it coil 5.
I got code P0301 misfire in #1 cylinder is this a coils and spark plugs fix I’ve 60,000 miles on my 2020 Dodge Durango Gt is this common?
Could be , I got that code in #6 and I had a faulty Oil pressure sensor on the oil filter cooler housing , while replacing it I decided to change all plugs and Coils. #6 had oil on the Coil boot which most likely caused my misfiring. I decided to replace all the tube seals in the valve covers since I had everything apart. All is good now 4k miles later.
Link to gaskets
What tools are needed?
@4:14 what did you use to take out that screw?
My buddy has 2016 looks backwards to this manifold cover on passenger side here looks like driver side…, where is cylinder 3?, driver side middle? That’s coil and spark I need to replace
Assuming the crankshaft pulley is in front of you the left side of that would be 1...3...5

Damn dodge, you have to do all that just for a spark plug.
Where did you source the gaskets at?
Hey bro did you edited the video in the restroom lol😂
My mechanic says it’s a three hour job to change six spark plugs.
Find yourself a better mechanic. I can get it done in 45 mins. I don't remember book time though
It takes about 5 hours 4 on a good day lol
At how many miles do you replace the spark plugs?
60-80k
What brand gasket are those
Felpro
How many hours of labor is this job?
I think time on the book was 1.6
@@mechdjango3490 Thanks
Jobs like this is why I'd never buy a dodge. I don't mind getting paid to work on them tho lol
Definitely is not as easy as it looks in the video to pull the manifold out.
What a shitty car. Basic maintenance required intake manifold removal. This is indicative of a company that hates it's clients
Low T garage.
What type of spark plugs are recommended?
Champion
F Dodge engineering for allowing such crap to be put into production. What a mess to change a set of plugs.
You Don't say WHAT SIZE TOOLS that are Needed for job!
Your audio is horrible. I can barely hear 1/2 of what your saying!
Didn't show how to remove the actual spark plug in a spark plug video. Hmmmm
If you can't figure that out then you have no business working on a car. Or did you just want to nitpick and be negative?
@@braddishner8597 I'm already done, comment was over a month ago. Someone somewhere is removing a spark plug for the first time every few minutes (something to think on smart ass).
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy doesn't know what he's doing
🚂........... I'm sure your video is better, thanks
@@mechdjango3490 it is even take the spark plugs out you didn't even show you how to do none of it so it doesn't help
Ah I see what you mean! must've cut it out accidentally. I'll look for the file and see if I can fix it but it's pretty straight forward after removing the coils
I had to go to another CZcams channel like we see how to take the stuff apart he didn't show nothing how to do anyting horse I have a 2017 it's a little different than his
Got A quote of around 600 to replace the plugs😢
Ouch
