Thank you. Definitely different from older 3.6 motor ive seen.

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

Yeah they change stuff around to suit what the application its used for

[@ou-kd9rc]

Gotta love Dodge engineering. Take something as simple as changing plugs and make it so you have to disassemble the top of the engine. This is the last Dodge anything I'll ever buy. The tune up was over $400 for 6 spark plugs and labor. They replaced a leaking oil cooler as well, apparently another common failure on this P.O.S. of an engine. That was another $800....

Unfortunately moat cars are setup like this. Just did a versa 4cyl were I had to remove the intake to get to the spark plugs.

[@MetropolitanIndianapolisLiving]

I agree... I have a 18 like this one and I'm done.

[@wtelmark]

I had to take my top mount inner cooler off to get to mine in my 2010 rdx. I miss the older engines with easy access.

[@stephenwilliams2605]

Yup...been changing my own plugs, oil and brakes for MANY yrs...its going to the garage!! 😂

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

LOL more then you want to handle huh? I just did an oil filter housing on a 2018 Wrangler and its even more stupid stuff to remove then this 3.6 setup.

Thank you very much for this video, I was fortunate enough to do this myself thanks for your video. What I didn't do in tighten the manifold down in torque sequence, and went fairly tight enough to almost make me uncomfortable because the plastic structure. Will this over time ruin the cars intake plenum?

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

nope it wont do anything its not a load bearing item anyways

[@martinquinones9847]

Can you have a coolant leak if you dont replace the manifold gaskets

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

NO there is no coolant that flows in the Upper intake manifold assembly

[@christopherrice1370]

I can’t see because of the sun

[@kevinrodriguez-jh3xh]

Whats that hose you pointed at first and said remove snap ring

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

If youir talking about the one to the air heater that would be a coolant hose

[@minniewunderlich4532]

Do you know the firing order for this engine?

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

Standing in front of the engine Pass side is 1 3 5
Right side driver side is 2 4 6

[@Blessingbj]

Do you know which one is the number 2

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

135 is bank 1 246 is bank 2 the number 1 bank will be the closest cylinder to the front of the engine.

[@ianthompson6268]

At what mileage should this be done?

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

100k is avg

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

Pretty simple. Compared to what?

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

Not quite sure possibly other 3.6 motors

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

[@georgedelgado4599]

Did everything but missing something bc the top was lose but not coming off

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

Top of what?

[@georgedelgado4599]

@@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair disregard I got the piece off just had to take off the hose

[@MetropolitanIndianapolisLiving]

I thought I would be able to do it as a novice... out of my ballpark

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

It takes some tools you could do take your time

[@msotolopez]

Way to much of a headache for what used to be a simple modification!

[@kevinsmobileautomotiverepair]

No modification just a trick to get it in and out
