Thank you! Im at 60,000 miles and dealership just quoted me $600 to do this stating intake manifold has to come off. Think as you said its for the 6. I'll do it myself now!
Outstanding video! I'm not the final word on anything but I usually put a touch of oil on the threads of the spark plug so that it will go on smoothly and be easier to remove next time, just saying. Regards, Denis Berte' USMC
Awesome Video. @9:34 I just wanted to point out that "Dried Pink Fluid" that seems to be leaking on the bottom of the turbo. Not sure if that's a cause for concern. Just a heads up
A coolant leak, possibly from a hairline crack in the adjacent, pressurized overflow tank. A known issue on the JL Wrangler forums. Something to monitor and repair as necessary.
So... had to get a 5/8th with attached extension from Oreille's, then had to grind down a sleave that was on it so it would fit in the tube. A 5/8ths sparkplug socket wouldn't work by itself, kept pulling off the extension. The last two clips I just left attached and pulled the whole thing out, coil pack and all.... 2 and 1/2 hours start to finish. Will be less next time.... Funny note, NGK states the life of the plug is 30k miles but Jeep says to service them at 60k... wonder why?
I'm a cynic, but recommending changing them at 30K instead of 60K could potentially sell twice as many spark plugs. My guess is THAT accounts for the discrepancy between what NGK says and what Jeep recommends.
I actually was only able to get 1 from quadratec even though I ordered 4. Eventually I contacted them for a refund which I never got but subsequently was able to get some from a local autozone but had to wait for them to ship from a warehouse.
