About to change my spark plugs and gaskets for manifold! Your video is the best because it's short and sweet! Hit all the right bullet points without all the bullshit! Thanks!

[@Bandit69ply]

Thanks man. I skipped the other videos because I trust you and your advice. I'm getting ready to do my plugs and just wanted to make sure they're wasn't anything special I needed to do. The bolt advice was great.

[@danielmyers5567]

My hands were too big to remove those hidden bolts on the back of the intake so I scheduled an appointment with my Jeep dealer. The service writer had trouble explaining to the service tech what needed done so I showed him your video! The tech still didn’t get it so the service writer asked to borrow my phone and you schooled him on his job!! Thank you! After he saw your video I was out in a jiffy!

[@shanederouen2644]

I wasted over 2 hours, multiple videos, before yours showed the 13mm in the back on the passenger side bracket. Your video is the best. Thank you 🙏

[@Msoulantzos]

This video is perfect. Short, sweet, and speedy but not rushed. Great explanation on Everything brotha!

[@aarongould5170]

Bro I feel like I learned More in the first 30 sec than in any other video I’ve seen when you said all the different things I could do with the intake off I’m like “I need to do all those things!” Great video sir

[@CET675]

Thank you, I know is an older video, but I wanted to comment on your no-nonsense straight-to-point and focus in those areas that can be tricky. For example, I also appreciate the attention to detail (working your way in while loosening the screws). It's self-evident this your tuber cares. And you just gained another subscriber.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Why thank you my friend. I really appreciate that.

[@thecrazyfamily3635]

Your video gave me the confidence to do my own tune up, saved me $600. Thank you!!!

[@garth285]

Hey just a quick note, at 1:20 you say the back bolt is a 13/16" but its actually just a 13mm. Maybe add in a note to the video to clarify that. Thanks again for the video, I had to pull the manifold off again to replace a oil cooler and this video always helps.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Thanks for the info!

Yo! Went to depot to get a 13/16...I'm like no way this huge wrench is needed! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the clarification!

[@taadaa3135]

Yall get a standard 13mm in there or u need a stubby??

[@adientoledo2098]

This video is priceless bc that hidden bolt is the key to replacing the spark plugs...I neatly went nuts trying to figure it out on my own!

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

O cool, thanks for watching. Please consider subscribing to the channel for me, thanks.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

@Adrian Salinas what kind of vehicle you working on?

[@6dreams79]

Me too

[@enriquereynaga8188]

The way to access that bolt is using a stubby 13 mm wrench. Their is no room for anything else and since the bolt is also used to support the hardness, that's the only tool that will allow you to break the connection. So, use a small panel pry bar to take the harness off the bolt, then use that wrench to break the connection and allow you to take that bolt out to remove the bracket. You'll thank me later!

[@bobtawiligar]

I'm going to replace the sparkplugs in my Grand Cherokee tomorrow. This is a great video. Short and to the point. You explained where all the bolts and brackets are.

[@MagnumEDU]

Man, your video is out here, saving peoples lives, money, lowering blood pressure, and giving that small, but really important additional information that will help guys like me from given up. See, I did not know about that. Screw in the back holding the back plate in place. I thought it was over for me. I’ve told myself I can’t believe my got this far and could not get this thing off. Thanks.

[@MichaelBakay-pj2nr]

Awesome Video. I have a Jeep Cherokee with Pentastar and was contemplating what I might have to do to remove that intake. Many years ago (30+) I worked as an engineer writing dealer service manuals, so I know a little bit about auto repair. You did a perfect job explaining that and doing it in the shortest time to keep people's attention. AWESOME JOB.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

[@Jeff_Seely]

I searched this topic out to see what other mechanics like to use for plugs. Me, I pay through the nose for the OEM Mopar plugs and coils and am looking to save $$ this time around. I really don't have much trouble removing the plenum. Toyota Siennas are my worst by far!!! The Pentastar has a couple of achilles heels and this is my respectful advice: Buy port seals, vac lines, and an aftermarket oil/coolantheat exchanger with good seals. You'll already be there swapping out plugs. You might as well address that crappy plastic heat exchanger. If it starts leaking, you'll have coolant in the oil and that's a bad day, to the max! My 2016 Caravan has just turned 400,000 miles and still doesn't use a drop of oil. The 6 speed tranny is another matter....Thanks!

[@CreativeRoyalty-h7c]

[@jrockaccount]

Very easy way of what to do for spark plugs. Seen other videos where alot of items had to be removed before the intake. You made it simple and less stressful. Thank you.

[@AndrewPietri]

Thank you! Every other video shows everyone removing every electrical connector and hose to totally remove the upper intake when all I needed to do is move it out of the way to change the plugs in bank 2.

[@darrylbeck5270]

Thank you for the very useful video. I wasn't able to get the bottom rear bracket bottom nut off, too small a space for my hands. I ended up loosening the bottom nuts on the right side brackets enough to get the posts off the brackets and then it came off. Hope that helps anyone else that's struggling with that back nut. The AC lines are in the way, but at least you can see what you're doing.

[@Supermason3000]

This video was completely a life saver. That back bracket literally gave me a Hella of a lot of trouble. After I got that off it came right off. My seals were white, so I don't know if they need to be replaced or not. I replaced my spark plugs and coil packs with some RIPP supercharge spark plugs and coil packs. I forgot I didn't reattach my connector to my air intake after starting my car and driving it a quarter mile. When my check engine light came on after starting my car 3 times it reminded me I didn't reconnect it. I hope it goes off over night if it just needs to reset. If not I'll take it to advance auto and see what they can tell me.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Yes, thanks for watching my friend. Yea thats just simple as turning the light off using a scan tool. Please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks

[@carolynparker6629]

[@justinpearl4962]

Thanks for this! Appreciate being concise and to the point, most KZbinrs would probably drag this out into a 20 minute video...

[@DarkMessiah499]

At 1:23, you said 13/16th. On my 12 Charger SE, it was a 13mm. Now, I'm a big fan, but I spent my afternoon looking for that size, and all I found was the 13, after running to hardware store 2 minutes before they closed, because I didn't have one that size. Unless I missed something, or maybe it's an earlier engine than what you demonstrated on, I got ticked. Can you tell me if the 12 Pentastar has a difference? You're the best. Love this channel. But I can't drink a beer at 9 am when I put it back together. So there's that. EDIT. I'll read the comments before I gripe. You corrected it. My bad. Keep making videos, because mediocre mechanics like me need you!

[@mpressive2u]

I use to have a 2012 dodge avenger with the 3.6L pentastar engine. I ended up upgrading the oil filter housing to the 2013, because the spring loaded mechanism became bridle and the spring flew off during the oil change. I thought there would be a clearance issue because it's slightly higher, but seats perfectly with no issues. So if someone has one this is a way to eliminate that issue.
