2016 Ram Promaster 1500 - Intake removal and Spark Plugs Replacement with Torque Specs

[@masonpetrov2716]

Probably the best tutorial ive ever watched. No Bullcrap but all the helpful info. Hopefully youll keep making more videos.

I have done over 30 oil coolers or front coils on these Promasters at my shop. 7 times the two center intake bolts had no heads. Completely rotted out. The water runs off the cowl right into the bolt holes and stays there. Before I quote a job I check these bolts and can they be taken out. I made a tool to drill them out. Its a machined tube that fits perfectly in the manifold bolt hole and then a drill bit goes into the tube so you have a perfect center. Otherwise without drilling the remainder of the bolt head off you will never get the intake off. The other problem that develops is the manifold can't be slide back because the remainder of the bolt is now acting like a stud. So the front brackets have to be removed so the intake can be lifted straight up. Hope this helps if you have rotted intake bolts.

check with another youtuber called promastersonly, he sells "van nipples" made of heat resistant silicone to put in those holes to keep the bolts from rusting.

The hardest thing is to demo with one hand with the other hand holding the camera... and countless of re-takes after loosening the bolts with both hands. Thank you!

[@mikeallensonntag]

[@05fordvan]

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take from start to finish?

[@eduardozacarkim753]

you have to disassemble half of the car to change 1 part😮😮😮

[@scapp9507]

Wow, great video! Thank you.

[@Zachary-r6i]

Only thing I noticed wrong was that he missed removing the stud holding the intake manifold down, pain to find and get to.

👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you. I just got the back three done by taking out the intake tubes. Tomorrow, this. Did you replace the cam sensor? Looks like it. I get it if you did. I will have to run down to get it. I had this van since 17. I never thought I get this deep into it and I know this is nothing really. Had a P03 code now for a while. Hope this fixie's' it. Doing an oil change while I am at it. One thing. I first went under the hood and looked, I found the air intake had fallen off the back of the intake manifold. That might have been the whole thing. I don't have the infamous valve tap and I did check the oil filter for metal and I am good thankfully. Van has 79,000.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Got back 3 in with packs. Dropped the air vent. I’m working after my day job. Tomorrow the top it the intake

[@humbertotoledo4913]

Same story mine has 77k replace oil cooler / and have the same code

[@humbertotoledo4913]

Did the code got fixed after replacing the spark plugs?

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

@@humbertotoledo4913 Nope. Had a mobile diagnostic tech stop out. Found out it’s a phaser. So I got the plastic tools for lifting the timing chain off the bad phaser and dropping the chain back on without dropping it into the bottom. All that is yet to be done. Soon

[@Toolaholic7]

Do not have to disconnect the battery,skip this.The plugs come pregapped,install and leave the gap alone.You can break that little tip off messing with the gap

[@southern1084]
