How often do you change your spark plugs?!?! Comment below!! Be sure to Subscribe! #jeepwave
i change mine every 30000 miles
If you BEAT the shit out of ur car like a mad man like me.. every 7 thousand miles. or 5k
100,000 miles. No issues.
At 172K now with the factory plugs in 2010 JKU.
113556 on my jeep and i haven't yet lol
Boy i miss the days of not having to remove anything to change the plugs.Great video never realized so much involved in just changing plugs.
So you also miss the days of poor performance, smelly exhaust, noisy (not the good sounding) engines. Bad gas mileage, over heating problems, crank windows, no A/C, sloppy suspensions, and all the other shit technology that’s been improved upon over the years??
@@bob-a-louannamaria7960 guess you weren’t around back then.If you were you would know how ridiculous you sound.Performance was top notch just look at where muscle cars came from,Smelly exhaust and noisy are you for real?Not sounding good…lmao they were better sounding than today cars.The rest of what you said is just laughable.
It's freakin pathetic, TJ's till death
@@bob-a-louannamaria7960 lol go back to california bob
@@bob-a-louannamaria7960 one has nothing to do with the other as far as wishing for things to be accessible.
To the point...no BS!!! Well done. 9 minutes very well spent. Thank you.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
There is a special place in HELL for automotive engineers!
LOL for real!!!!!!!!
Yup
Maybe..but most of the stuff thats a royal pain in ass to change, your not doing weekly or monthly. So once every few years isn't a big deal to me.
I just changed the spark plugs and coil packs. The whole set hadn’t been changed since the motor had 0 miles . 170000 miles later after I did the tune up there was a huge difference in performance. Thanks for the video it helped so much.
G8 video thanks .A mechanic told me just a VERY SMALL tiny amount of CLEAN engine oil smeared on spark plug thread really helps with alloy heads .I have done it for 20 years now .👍👍👍👍🤠 thumbs up from a jeep brother from downunder 🇦🇺
I use never seize
"Hopefully, It starts..." Spoken like a true do it yourselfer.
I changed the plugs/upper plenum gaskets on my JK last night...what an adult vocabulary workout. I've changed the plugs on all my vehicles...but this was by far the most involved. Good news is, it started right up...bad news is, I wasn't aware that there was a tightening sequence on the upper intake bolts and believe I cracked the lower intake, as there is now what sounds like a vacuum leak...which means I get to do this all over again...and then some. Protip: Know the tightening sequence and do NOT exceed 7lbs torque....the lower intake is plastic, and WILL crack. Buh bye another $200.
Thanks for sharing
Or over torque and break the head off the front bolt for the lower manifold... ugh
How do I find out if there is a sequence to follow and the recomended torch? I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6l 6cyl.
Great video, gives average Joe's like me some confidence to give it a go. Oil changes are not hard either, Cheers all!
Thanks Dave! 👍🏼
Thanks for posting the video - I've changed plugs on the 3.8 (pretty simple) but first go at the 3.6 and saw they were under the manifold on the right side so appreciate all of the tips.
Where are the ones on the 3.8
i did this today, and the video was helpful in helping me to make sure i didn't miss anything,. as for re-securing the intake, I used a 1/4 screwdriver style tool with the 8mm ratchet, and just made everything hand- tight.
I was watching this and was thinking man you need to get another cover for your spod. Then I see you using it as a parts tray. Genius man. Way to adapt and overcome.
Thanks Joey! A good friend thought me to never use excuses and always find a way to get things done! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Jeepwave
Great idea with the coil pack to remove the plug. This video gave me more confidence to do it myself. Thank you
Dude I love your videos. You’ve even inspired me to start documenting my Jeep build on RUclips.
That’s awesome man! I’ll check out your channel!! Jeepwave 👋🏼
I have learned a lot from this guy with my Jeep journey. Keep going with the great videos.
Awesome step by step instructions, keep the DYI videos coming Brotha!
Just did the oil cooler, lower and upper manifold gaskets and spark plugs on my wife’s 14’. Man it runs so much better now.
I was thinking that I met as well swap out the oil cooler while the intake manifold is off - and replace with an aluminum Dorman part since we know it's just a matter of time before the plastic OE part starts leaking. So plugs, gaskets, and oil cooler make sense to do at same time. I have 55K on my JK.
thanks brother! I will be changing my plugs and coils this weekend on my 2015 JKU. It will also be in the parking garage for my apartment building like you hahah
Helpful man thank's, you deserve a cold beer.
Hey man !!! Thanks so much, I actually was watching your video and copying what you were doing on my wife’s Jeep JK. She is so emotional about her Jeep and she called me from work and was freaking out about her Jeep having some long crank issues and demanded I change her plugs. It took me 3 hours and a lot of patience and bravery as I didn’t want to mess anything up by doing such a dismantling. But it worked out ! I actually prayed to God that he would help me not to break any plastic clips or lose anything where I couldn’t get it, and to help me do a good job. I have worked on a lot of cars and trucks in the past with no issues but today’s engine bays are packed so tight that you got to remove 3 things just to get to what is broken. Anyway thanks again. I just subscribed and thumbs up.
Thanks Jay!!!! Love it when it all works out!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I prayed too... 🤣
I need to do this to my wife's 2012 jeep. Not looking forward to it. But thanks to your video. It might not be as bad as I thought. Her's has 109000 miles and seems to have lost its spunk the last 2000 miles. Hope plugs is all it needs.
Good video. I have 165k on my original plugs. I just ordered new plugs, wires and coil pack. Lately it occasionally won’t fire right away so I hope that’s all it needs.
That’s awesome Richard! Yah am sure it just needs new plugs
Its just about time for me to do this! Thanks Dex!
Absolutely bro 👍🏼👍🏼
So freaking helpful. Great tip on leaning the hood all the way back. Thank you.
very good video and some common sense but darn not sure how my back will feel doing that, so much nowadays to even get to. Thanks, J
I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing!
My future son-in-law and I did this in 3hrs today. I thought for first timers it was a good time. He’s 17. I have a 2016 unlimited sport. There was a bracket between the battery and the manifold w 4-10 bolts we had to remove that attached to the side of the manifold. Other than that it was straight forward. We tackled the passenger side first and I think that is easier, because the manifold is scary. If you change those 3, u can’t look back. I recommend a long and medium socket extension and you may need both size socket sets. There are some brackets and retainer walls that make a couple coils and plugs hard to get too. We only had the long extension for the plugs. It was a fun experience and big confidence booster for both of us. Purring like a kitten and no codes 💪🏻
Great video, good illustration good energy, you made it look easy🙏🏿👊🏿🔥❤️
LUCKY GUY, DIRECT PROFESSIONAL ,PROCEDURE DIRECT TO THE POINT ESPECIALLY USING IGNITION WIRE TO INTIALLY START THE SPARK PLUG, GENIOUS IDEA THANKS
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks man!! Helped a lot 🤙🏼
Really nice job man., nice jeep also. I put mine in the shop... new sensor and plugs. I just get zero pleasure working on cars, just too cramped and frustrating
Awesome tutorial. Glad I have the 3.8L though- seems a drag to have to go through all that to change out plugs.
Cool channel - I'll sub for sure !
Thanks,
Wulf
Always good always useful video's thanks ...
Did you use anti seize? Thx for the video.
Decided to give it a go after watching! Thanks for the video.
Very welcome Clifford!! Thanks for watching
Been watching for a while! Found your seicane videos particularly helpful, got one and am happy with it.
Thank you for a very helpful video.
And FU to the Jeep guy who designed this engine and components to make such a routine service so complex.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Did u have to replace the intake manifold gasket?
Love your videos bro.....waiting for the installation video for the Caroboto K1. I looked it up on their website and it is very little information.
Thanks Christopher! A full video on the K1 is in the making! Stay tuned
GREAT JOB Sir!!!!!
always enjoyed your vids! make it look easy....always! not only doing spark plugs you suggest but also ignition coils
2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. 67K took in for DTC P0306, but it was covered under warranty because of the #2 Cylinder was showing issues as well. That was 2019. Now, I'm just shy of 150K and getting a P0305 and P0205 DTC. Going to be changing the Spark plugs and Fuel Injectors myself.
Hola Hello, your video helped me a lot, could you make a video to explain the injector and throttle body flushing? Thank you very much in advance, I send you a hug from Mexico City.
Is it always necessary to replace the intake gaskets? Thx for the vid!
Love the Pro tips
Thank you very much for great video 👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
This is a great video I like it
Man i needed this video, thanks
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great video. Thank you!! So, I just purchased a 2016 jeep wrangler sport four-door manual trans. Check engine light came on six hours after purchase. We got a cylinder two misfire detected which can apparently be one of three things. One ignition coil. To intake gasket or three and probably most common, spark plugs. I am just a beginner, so can anyone second the statement? Is this correct? Also, when I took it back to the dealers mechanic he said she would replace the spark plugs and ignition coil and that it would take over three hours of labor costing me $309. On top of about another $190 for the parts. So after tax this job is taking this mechanic three hours and charging me 500 bucks after taxes. Is this a good deal? Fair deal? Or rip off? Why or why not? Thank you guys so much!! 👊
Question did you replace the gasket or did you reuse the old one?
Great video
They added so much housing I like the coil packs though much easier to do than the plugs and distributor cap.
Are you completely missing the bracket on the left side of the manifold? On my '14, there is a bracket with two screws that completely prevent you from removing the plenum that easily. I ended up having to loosen up the back right bracket on the bottom and remove the front bracket all together. Random aside for all of the people saying you need to check the gap, if you are using iridium plugs, you don't mess with it because you can break the diode. Overall, good video that highlights the big points.
Me too brother. It was a pain in the ass for me. Not as simple as he did it. Maybe he is just better than I.🤣
Thanks! Going to try mine. Dealership quoted me $700 to Change on my 2016 Rubi. Ouch
I don't even own a Jeep yet!!
I'm found one I may be purchasing this weekend watch should I look for? Any feedback would really help it's a 2012 with 100K miles on it....
Thank you
great video. like others have said it is damn stupid to have to remove the intake to just change spark plugs. wow. i miss the days of doing a spark plug change in half in hour. uggggh.
Look I know this was really great video and very informative. Might want to mention to check your gap on your spark plugs I know that they are supposed to come pre-gapped but it is not always the case.
@AdventureDex is the spark plug change the same as the JL model?
Hey man what year is that Jeep
What are the best brand of Spark plugs to purchase
amazing video
Thanks 🙌🏼🙌🏼
What grill is that?,where did you get it if I may ask. Thanks
whats the torque specs of the manifold bolts?
Thanks very helful
I love your videos. Why dose you grill have special forces on it
Is that an upgraded intake?
Cool stuff!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
All good info but you forgot to mention the spark plug gap. Very important!
Definitely your content is 🔥. No BS
Straight to the point, thank you sir
How long does it take you to change the spark plugs?
All F'ing day long brother. And your back and feet will feel the wrath. 🤣🤣🤣
How did yall get spark plug 4 removed without removing that entire bracket?
Hello Dex!!! Great video , great information on jeeps maintenance like always, u seen like a great funny fella always good vibe on your videos, I think your jeep is 2012 or 2013 not sure!!! But I was wondering if you have the experience on this ticking noise on the rocket arm on this specific year or model, unfortunately this problems just came on my jeep if someone's has any advice on this apparently comun problem 😑😑😑😐😐😞😞😞thanks
Thanks Samuel! I appreciate the positive vibes 🙌🏼🙌🏼 my Jeep is a 2014 and thankful I haven’t had too many issues with it. I did a little research and found a lot of info online about failing rocker arms. I would suggest reading through the Jeep forums. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Ok I'll check those indeed, thanks amigo, 👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
Hey Dex. That special forces deflector - is it part of your front grille or an add on? Can it be customized? I like the way it looks. Hopefully I can just add that to my existing grille.
Thanks.
Thanks! That’s a custom decal I had printed 💪🏼
@@adventuredex Nice! What you put the decal on - is it all one piece? All part of the grille, or can I add just the brow to my grille.
do you need to change intake manifold gaskets?
Yes!
Merci beaucoup
I’m super curious about the second relay box that’s above the computer. I have the MLC 6 but was staring under the hood the other day trying to zero in on another place to build my own.
It’s a cheap one off amazon
Oh snap, what’s up brother! Thanks for the quick reply, where do the switches mount? I already have a-pillar switches so that be nice if it’s easy enough to tie in, I hate wiring outside in the winter haha
are you missing your intake manifold gaskets?
I did my jk last week and i couldn't get the ones on the right side with out taking out the battery and fuse box holder .
Helpful tip if anyone notices a little bit of oil down by the spark plug it’s because the plug gasket is failing and should be replaced. Adds another 2hrs to project.
Jeep should be ashamed of themselves for the leaking gasket / cracked filter housing issue. Doing mine tomorrow on a 16 jku.
You did the same thing I did. You forgot to put the foam on the driver side before putting it all back together. It was sitting on your front bumper...
Did you leave it off or go back and redo it the correct way?🤣🤣
Amazing 😎👌🏻
Thanks!!
Im gona sound like you at the end... I hope it starts😂😂😂
Did you have to calibrate the spark plugs? Also what spark plugs do you recommend?
I use platinum plugs. They don’t require calibration. Thanks for watching
DON'T TOUCH YOUR CAR !
what plugs did you go with, your link doesn't work anymore.
How come nobody ever gaps their sparkplugs in any of the videos online? I've been trying to find the specs for a 2016 trailhawk
The rear spark plug on driver side is a nightmare to get in. Can't find and tips to install it. Doesn't seem to want to go in. I even tried another new plug
What is the gap measurement for the spark plug?
.044
Do we need to change intake manifold gasket?
I would. Any gasket seals thats broken will never reseal right.
No dielectric grease?
The author prep this before the video. I just did it after watching and it took me 2.5 hours. He doesn’t mention how many zip ties you have to cut and there is an extra hose on the driver side that is hard to remove from the manifold. Then there’s the bracket on the passenger with the big wiring plug that has to be removed. Overall good video bro. Thanks.
Well, obviously he can’t make a 2.5 hour video. He showed exactly what you need to remove. The rest of the easy stuff is on you.
You can still get pre-gapped spark plugs that need to be gapped
Check gap on the plugs, it's .043" on the 3.6l engine
What year is your jeep??
2014 👍🏼👍🏼
Please share spark plug detail?
I can imagine what the dealership gets to change these out. Iove my 2006 WrangIer 4.0
Rest the hood back with a knee cushion between the hood and windshield top and for those who don't have tires to stand on get a step ladder.
What a pain.I miss the working on small blocks where you didn't have to take so much off just to change your plugs.
Keep in mind, that even though Irridium spark plugs (like from NGK) say they are pre-gapped, always check each spark plug. Human error occurs and you will commonly find spark plugs that need to be adjusted.
They make a magnetic 5/8 sparkplug socket that you can get at your parts store
