HOW TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS ON JEEP WRANGLER 3.6 LITRE

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

I miss the days when all you needed to do was Pull the Sparkplug WireBoot off to get to the sparkplug.

[@Chandler7157]

Question, how has your Jeep been running without the foam? I’m about to replace my spark plugs and I’m thinking of removing the foam on mine as well.

[@zachrywd]

14:15 Do not grease threads. This reduces friction and can lead you to over torque the fastener. The only area you should be applying dielectric grease to is the connector boot.

[@joannarnold7069]

I was saying that while he was doing it. Big mistake.

[@wvjeepguy8178]

Anti-seize on the sparkplug is correct. Keeps the thread from seizing due to galvanic corrosion. Don't need to use a torque spec on them. Hand tighten until it stops and then tighten 1/16" of a turn further.

[@lukefisher328]

Hey mate how long did it take end to end replacing lifter and plugs? Minus time recording

[@ghostlyrich]

It’s really not to bad, I’d say a day of wrenching just because of hickups but really if your solid with tricks 4 ish hours

[@TheTrailblazer1974]

Whats crazy is this is all to change fucking spark plugs. Good job Chrysler

[@ghostlyrich]

Lol at least it’s not a vw bus we’re you have to remove the seats to do engine work haha

[@killakobra]

Welcome to modern automobiles.

[@MrLaughingcorpse]

You should see other engines. I had a van where three were way at the back and you literally had to climb over the engine and blindly reach down the back side of the engine but then didn't have to take any upper intake off. Give me a 1969 Pontiac 350 engine any day. A lot easier to work on.

[@jddickens7086]

Did you reuse the intake gasket or replaced with new?

[@BlackYellow07]

Let me guess , Range Rovers are easier than Wrangler JKu? Pagani ? Maserati? Why not hide the spark plugs next to to Oxygen sensors with no rooM to change?

[@ghostlyrich]

It seems every vehicle sometimes has some little tricks. Even by C7, I have to pull the fuse box completely out of it to do the spark plugs

[@MrScooterbags]

Spark plugs are a lot easier on a Maserati. The front 6 are super easy, the rear 2 just require the right combination of wobble and extensions and they come out very easy.

[@JoshAkers]

This was a great video! Thank you for sharing! Step by step was great, I watched the video before tackling it and never had to refer back. Took me 2.5 hours from start to finish. Easy. 🎉

[@ghostlyrich]

Glad it helped

[@tglackin2411]

The bolts for the intake manifold can be removed and reinstalled with a screwdriver handle with a 1/4" drive to avoid putting to much for on these bolts. I use this method and works well.

[@mkivbb]

Why did you take the valve cover off???

[@ghostlyrich]

I had a tick going on so I had to replace a rocker. I did another video on that

[@ethanscott8175]

I'm so glad someone already asked this lol I was confused

[@MrLaughingcorpse]

@@ghostlyrich Still sounds like a sewing machine after you had everything back on same as my engine.

[@williammorris1763]

was super confused at first why you pulled the plate off on that last bit covering the spark plug area with no context or video of you doing it

[@MrLaughingcorpse]

Did you replace the 6 gaskets?

[@ghostlyrich]

I didnt bother as i was in the engine recently you can if you wish to. If you do i recommend rock auto as its a great price.

[@MrLaughingcorpse]

@@ghostlyrich Thanks. We have auto zone and other places here. I plan to change to iridium spark plugs and do an oil change. I don't trust the auto shops to do anything right. Used seafoam in the jeep gas tank and it bumped the mpg up.

[@tcfreeman]

Enjoy your narration style and content, thank you!

[@JR-ss3td]

I have a 2018, changed the plugs and now I have a code u142. The jeep will start, but once you turn it off, it will not start again for a couple of hours. I can’t figure out what I did, and he suggestions?

[@ghostlyrich]

Are you missing a digit for the code usually its a letter and 4 digits. Just want to figure out which sensor is causing the error

[@JR-ss3td]

@@ghostlyrich Thanks for the reply, I’ll get that code tomorrow. I had to take it to a shop to get it figured out, they have had it for 2 days now and they can’t figure out what it is either. I’ll get that code tomorrow.

[@ghostlyrich]

@@JR-ss3td sounds good if you poped the tipm out when doing plugs recheck the plugs are seated proper, also can double check make sure intake manifold didnt pinch a wire when remounting putting it back on. Im sure its something simple once you get the code will be easier to track

[@JR-ss3td]

@@ghostlyrich I spoke with the shop today and they said the ignition switch is bad, I don’t know what I could’ve done to short out the ignition switch, because I’ve never had an issue with it in the past before I changed the plugs. But they said they checked everything and the only issue they can find is the ignition switch. They are putting one in right now , and if that doesn’t fix the issue, I’ll get any codes and let you know, I really appreciate you responding to me. Thanks for the help.

[@JR-ss3td]

@@ghostlyrich Wanted to give you an update, the issue was the secondary battery. that’s what was causing all the trouble. I guess it was a coincidence that it happened to die at the same time I was doing plugs, but the switch did not fix the problem, the secondary battery being replaced did.

[@Sniperssx]

I just replaced my sparks but without messur the gap feel car not as before low prfromonce

[@ghostlyrich]

Check that vaccum lines didnt slide off and that all connectors are back on

[@Sniperssx]

@@ghostlyrich its okay I'm asking about spark plug should do measure the gap or just install it

[@ryanozeruga390]

@@Sniperssx depends on what kind of spark plug. i just bought NGK Laser Iridium spark plugs and they come pre-gapped

[@Sniperssx]

@@ryanozeruga390 I bought auto lite feel loosing power after iridium as well but just put in feel car poor power after

[@AventuraOverlandMx]

Did you ended up crashing your jeep?

[@ghostlyrich]

Nope! Last year i decided to hemi swap it

[@nonayerbidnet6974]

Good move, like this. Newton meters is like inch- pounds, not foot- pounds. Snug, but don't over torque Newton- meters or will strip out threads. Thank you

[@downshiftaddicts366]

Thanks for showing the process step by step, those 3 brackets were my enemy doing this job but got it done. 👍

[@jujijime]

I member when you just pulled the plug wire loosened the plug, put the new plug in.. done in 15.. 5 minutes to drink a beer.

[@jasonvaughn3478]

Thanks for the walkthrough. I used it to walky wife through it because I'm recovering from surgery.. lol

[@ghostlyrich]

Hopefully you have a smooth recovery!

[@GustavoSanchez-f4s]

Man great job. Way to film everything and work with one hand. 👏 while still sounding very likable and not like a douche. That’s hard to do. So good job. Should keep making more videos.

[@archstanton126]

Been Chrysler fan all my life. 3rd generation. Today, your just a brand....

[@pasitive]

You need a head cam bro so that your other hand is free.

[@gpfreak1]

What year model?

[@ghostlyrich]

2015 Jeep Wrangler jk

[@shanevanorder2644]

God that's so inconvenient

[@petercalicchio4973]

I'll pay the $350..lol

[@kevinhood9781]

[@TriJoeTV]

I was quoted more than that. But I'm with you!

[@MrLaughingcorpse]

It's really not that hard and you know it is done right.

[@robskully3539]

Dang … I got hosed by a dealer here in Massachusetts for $1400 … $900 for labor … $185 for plugs … $116 for upper gaskets 😢

[@dandtintennessee7675]

I swore I'd never do it again after last time but here I am doing it again..lol

[@ryanozeruga390]

good video short and sweet. thank you

[@forresterkingmindset]

Amazing walk through

[@johnmeans4852]

Appreciate you sharing helped me tremendously today…. Mission accomplished 💪💪💪

[@jrneedville]

I’m paying to much work thanks for the video ❤

[@denniswerner1670]

All this to change spark plugs. Ridiculous. I’d like to get my 81 Camaro back please. Could change plugs and wires without taking anything off.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Jesus Christ! I’ve never seen so much elaboration to remove spark plugs on a Automobile! Yikes! 😳 No wonder the dealer wants an arm and a leg to change your spark plugs!! Holy moly!😮

[@DougC1Challenger]

Thank you! Really helped me out!

[@Kristoliquid1983]

2:35 lamp doggy

[@chrisjames2729]

There are exactly 0 videos on how to change spark plugs in a JL 😒

[@ghostlyrich]

Jl still has 3.6 in it should be same procedure as its same motor just a few different accessories bolted on

[@alvinrodriguez1480]

Good videos straight forward

[@stevestewart3816]

That's what she said

[@JeepinNation]

Sounds like $350 at the dealership is 100% worth it.

[@stevecopeman8121]

Where are you located at that price

[@JeepinNation]

@@stevecopeman8121 Concord, NC. I bought the service package through Hendricks and for 3 oil changes and tire rotations plus spark plugs it was $509. The 3 oil changes are $159 by theirselves so I'm guessing $350 is what they are charging on the spark plugs.

[@R_Mcfadden]

lol you’re not fooling anyone

[@JeepinNation]

​@@stevecopeman8121Concord NC if you buy the maintenance package at Hendricks which is 3 oil changes and tire rotations and spark plugs and coils. $520+ tax for that package.

[@JeepinNation]

​@@R_McfaddenI'm not trying to fool anyone, you can call Hendricks in Concord and ask about their maintenance packages. I don't know how they charge what they charge and make money but it's 100% legit

[@tlarch]

You, seriously, need a cameraman.

[@JasonDFD3S]

Way too many steps. I'm just going to send it to the dealer.

[@WarPonyAuto]

😂

[@joedavidson4173]

Never seen anything like this in my life. Sell it.
