How To Change Spark Plugs on 3.5L Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Magnum

[@creativeprincess9507]

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 😁🎉

[@martinmeaders2067]

I took back my son's 2008 Chrysler 300 and it was a mess. Very forgiving to him is all I can say. I am restoring it for a spare car. Thanks for this detailed instruction on spark plugs.

[@analogman9697]

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!

[@czarguzman2927]

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.

[@Playaban]

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

[@SemajV1]

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.

[@carguy0389]

Oh my goodness

[@ShieldandBucklerMusic]

Fahk!

[@francispressly8517]

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!

[@spindriff]

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.

[@danrodrigues3531]

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.

[@johnharris7115]

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 !!

[@wryanddry2266]

First class demonstration, explanation, and production. Keeping it plain, simple, and thorough.

[@XcarlosES]

Great video. I like the helmet camera cuz show more details than the regular or any cellphone camera.

[@leonardc2234]

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.

[@JoseHernandez-bf5fi]

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.

[@manuelbernal5962]

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!

[@debbiespring9796]

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

[@jross9800]

Debbie Spring how'd it go? I have a 2010 charger I'm about to work on. Any advise?

[@donhazlett4238]

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!

[@SteelAries21]

Thanks walking my daughter through this tomorrow morn. R. I. P winter break!!

[@robertthrailkill1368]

Very well done with just the right detail and narration, thanks!

[@darrylcarpenter903]

Great video. Your explanations were very clear and you showed how to do something where there was a possible question.

[@Dcxbumb]

when doing this job its a great time to change that hidden pcv at the back too

[@B_HarTz]

I agree

[@drivers8806]

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.

[@c-lomx9008]

He made it look simple

[@8Saldierna1]

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.

[@RJEMachinery]

Very detailed and instructive. Thank you for taking the time to do such a nice video.

[@dsgr1073]

great video, simple easy to follow step by step, thanks might tackle my 2007 magnum this weekend

[@ronwalsh]

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.

[@bubrak]

PCV can be easily replaced with right wheel off and from the bottom

[@rahrah8076]

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..

[@xeatcrowsx]

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.

[@toddrubino2065]

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 .

[@lunacystarcraft]

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

[@brianbrian3971]

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

[@mr.sinister1279]

Damn good camera view!! But u could of used a leaf blower to blow those leafs off the wipers n windshield.. lol

[@esemiklo5833]

Lmao

[@_echosevenband]

Amazing video! Just changed my plugs today in my 2010 Charger. Highly recommend 💯

[@adriantrinidad6618]

Thank you for this video after 1 hour of just repeating the video but I got them on my car thanks again

[@NESA79]

Great tutorial, the video and narration was solid man!

[@charlieboy501]

Thank you help me build up my confidents

[@taliff68]

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.

[@travisjr954]

Damn bruh.. I'm just gonna take it to the shop... great video though!

[@tresemundo]

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

[@timbazuvfunareo454]

Thank you for this, perfect job

[@CLIFFWILKES]

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!!!!

[@vernonbolinger9488]

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.

[@vernonbolinger9488]

I forgot to mention, don't use white lithium use dielectric grease on the boots

[@Zayyy]

Are you trying to be an asshole?

[@CarlosFlores-ei3vc]

Great video. I like how he shows the do's and dont's.

[@Majorlavon240]

I just found out.. theres like a slit on the bottom of the plenum that allows you to slide the trans tube without actually fighting it... I have a 2010... took me until last week to find this out

[@sixrings7243]

Very good and complete video. Really gave me the knowledge needed to do this job.

[@ThatSinisterSRT]

Trick is to remove the upper cross bar and it will give you room just do not over tighten the bolts they will snap

[@fredbergmann5352]

Thanks for the tip..!

[@nicolas67]

I did all the steps correctly from what I saw but now when I start my car I get loud popping noises. Any advice?

[@yerok2345]

Thank you for this video. Your very good at explaining everything.

[@BLUGUAPCLUB]

Timeless video thank you so much 💫

[@Kohler61350]

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

[@acewonder18]

Best video I seen all week

[@tyemanning8698]

Great video! Very detailed and very descriptive. Thank you!

[@rham4900]

Thanks for posting the video

[@sspeedy2859]

No mention of the EGR tube? If you don't loosen it will be harder to remove and reinstall the upper plenum.

[@TKnight305]

Cool thanks

[@michaelfrost4771]

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?

[@arthurwilliams3299]

Amazing sir! Thank you. Feeling confident at my attempt. You're saving me a financial headache.

[@719CoSprings]

Thanks man ur video helped me do a full tune up ..i appreciate it

[@donpepe3464]

Why dont we just take apart the whole engine and rebuild it while were at it? Lol

[@esemiklo5833]

Lol

[@tamariodumas6895]

Exactly, just remind me not to buy anymore Chrysler or Charger with an engine like that

[@carguy0389]

@@tamariodumas6895 why? I’ve seen 3.5’s get over 350k miles

[@tamariodumas6895]

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

[@carguy0389]

@@tamariodumas6895 yeah I hear ya man. I totally get it. But hey, nothing ever comes easy haha

[@JediMaul]

What other sizes can u use to take off the bottom bolt where is clamped on the throttle body

Great video sir. Please what's the name of the name of this engine?

Great video!! Thank you for your time!

[@thechampion9525]

Is incredible how motors had changed with time , the .more newer the more complexity

[@thechampion9525]

@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

[@thechampion9525]

@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

[@salvadorcanales9525]

This video helped me get the job done. Thanks man, much appreciated.

[@jamar489]

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.

[@Jobrak83]

Thank you for posting this video, Very helpful. Now I know it will take a day to do lol.

[@loks420toostone6]

At 18:23 we’re can I buy the gasket at ??i need one don’t know we’re to buy it tho ??? Anyone plz or can I just use black tape around if lol don’t really want that

[@danhansell2799]

Question: wouldn't you want to change the coils, wires and gas filter (if applicable) when you tune the car up ? Thanks

[@johnsmith-uh1gs]

Gas filter is in the gas tank. External gas filters are becoming rare.

[@vickiedavis1275]

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?

[@cameronarmijo4524]

Question when cold no propbems but when up to temp oil light goes on whem idling i get out check the big grey part where spark plugs are at its pretty dam hot also egr valve is bad ig would that cause it running hot but not my coolant system

[@BigLouWelds]

I like the video but damn my OCD on them leaves by the windshield is killing me lol

[@darrencatellier7273]

Better vid than the big dollar vids lol

[@chaseaustin6898]

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

[@Aceandbob23]

How long is you extension to reach the sparkplugs? Thanks!

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

[@david_burgess]

Dayum, talk about labor-intensive... I miss my 57 chevy

I have this same motor on my dodge charger changed spark plugs and coils and still getting misfire on cylinder 1 ignition coil (A) is that the first one on the passenger side if not what one is it

[@hibyboo]

3/18/2020 you are the man dude thank you for the helpful info

[@B_HarTz]

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 ! 👍👍👍

[@dpidaho4245]

fyi- if you cant get intake off because of tranny tube, you can still easily access all 6 spark plugs by leaving it on.

I read on here that you guys suggest using only champion plugs. What about the ignition coil? What brand matters on those?

Did you change your exhaust on it?

Torque specs for the plugs?
