Just changed all plugs in 2011 Grand Cherokee WK2 V6. This video was VERY helpful. Not an easy task for a 72 year old., but I got it done in about 6 hours. Dealer quoted $617 for the job. Toughest parts were : 1. Removing the driver side nut/stud in the rearmost steel bracket. i backed out the stud with an external Torx socket. Be careful - easy to damage the stud. 2. Removing the rearmost 8mm plenum screw (but it was easier to get a wrench to it after I removed the throttle body.. The two 10mm nuts way at the back on the passenger side are easier when you take off the throttle body also. Tie it up to the hood out of the way. Thanks for the great info in the video.

Outstanding video clip! As professional retired mechanic and shop owner with 40 years experience…I would like to recommend putting shop towels into the 6 intake runners to prevent any “FOD” from falling in while plenum is off! Thanks again for the instructional video!

Thanks, I looked everywhere for this video and this is the only one for the Grand Cherokee V6 engine, it is a good guidance to know where all the screws and nuts are, good work., thanks Lance

Thanks so much Lance for making this video. I just performed this service on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it wasn't terribly difficult. Took me about 2 hours total. As everyone says the passenger side is cake, takes about 5 minutes. The drivers side however does take longer. The lower 13mm bolts were the crux of the entire job, well the one closer to the front of the vehicle was easy it was the rear one that I couldn't get a wrench around. I never did end up loosening it... What I did was loosen everything else and left that rear bolt in and when it was time to pull the exhaust manifold I simply put a screwdriver down there and carefully pried the bracket ever so slickly so the upper bolt had enough room to be released. (this should make sense once you're in it). I did the same thing on the install and it worked great. New plugs for only $60 vs $600

Man, was I a fool. I saw that this video was about 35 minutes longs, so I was thinking this would be a breeze. The mechanic obviously stopped recording multiple times to work through things. This job also took me about 6 hours to perform. I can certainly understand why a shop would charge mucho dollars to do this job. I have changed clutches out in years past faster than this.The problem is that all of these engines are pre-assembled in a assembly line. There is no real thought given to disassembly. I still want to give thanks to the person that took the time to do this video. Videos like this help out dummies like me. Gracias!

Thank you for posting this. Completed today in about 3.5 hrs. It definitely helps to have an assortment of wrenches/gear wrenches and various socket extensions.

This video saved my night. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain every bolt and technique to get this dang thing off! I very much appreciate it.

I did mine based on your video. Thanks a lot. I went with mopar plugs they are cheap, pre gaped and can’t go wrong. Take your time takin leg out the intake manifold, it took me many hours.

Thanks Lance, I could not have done this job without this video, saved me the 400 the jeep dealer wanted to charge to do the job.

Just did mine and there is no need to remove those brackets being mentioned on minute 20:35 I only remove the top 2 nuts (1 on each bracket) remove the 3 nuts on the bracket by the fuel throttle, disconnect wire harnesses, and you’ll be golden! 2 actual nuts and 1 is the entire bolt that is being cover by a push in hardness clip! Remove the clip and the bolt holding the bracket is is exposed Thanks for the vid. Helped me a lot!!

Very good video. Followed the same procedure & was able to change the spark plugs on my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thanks again.

Love the video, I have a 2014 jeep grand cherokee limited. Haven't changed the plugs in 2 years couldn't figure it out, now that I watched this video I think I will give it a try 😀

Based on how complicated it was to change out the headlight bulbs, this seems about right.

Thanks for this video. Those two nuts on the passenger firewall were my Scylla and Charybdis.

That is ridiculously complicated to get to those right side plugs! Thanks for taking the time to show us.

Thanks for this video. Probably the most informative step-by-step ones I've seen.

First, Great video Lance. Honestly could not have done this job without the help of the video. I am def not a mechanic but an experienced garage tinkerer. I have done some in depth projects on my two Jeeps but this was unexpected. As all the previous comments stated, the right bank is cake. 20 minutes max. The left bank however is a doozy. I thought I had a decent tool set but I was clearly wrong. Thank goodness for neighbors. I even had to get my wife and her tiny hands to reinstall the left bank forward lower bracket bolt. Needless to say I was bit humbled by this routine maintenance job. Just watch the video, make sure you have a variety of tools on hand, do a little prep before you get started. It will save you a lot of time.

This was very helpful in finding all the intake bolts. Thanks!

Thanks a lot i just changed the plugs checking your video, excellent !! thanks again !!

Thanks for the video. I couldn't get my big hands between all of the hoses for the driver's side rear bracket, so I wound up taking the nut off and then cutting the end of the shaft of with a hack saw. I liked someone else's suggestion of cutting slots in those brackets like they should have been from the factory. I had one issue when I put things back together where I missed getting the hose on the back of the manifold and when I started the vehicle, I could hear a lot of air rushing past, but I couldn't locate it. It eventually set a an engine code about the engine too lean.

Chrysler really knows how to make simple things complicated or should I say “FIAT”.

Good video! Helped me change my 2015 Dodge Durango 3.6 liter spark plugs today! . Almost identical to your Jeep. Thanks for posting!

Lance! Much Help! Keep making stuff like this. It helped me fix my car big time!

Great video!!! Thanks for making it. Now I understand why this maintenance job costs sooo much to have done by a mechanic.

the passenger side is cake but the driver side is a mission because of that intake manifold being in the way. Thanks for the video it is very informational. Will do my jeep as soon the weather warms up.

I have a 16 JGC with 83k miles, not looking forward to doing this at 100k. Thanks for a really helpful video!

Thanks for the video! They had zero interest in keeping maintenance simple when designing this engine layout. I will have to reference this video a lot when I do this.

Awesome video. Made my life much easier, and probably saved a couple hundred bucks. Thanks for the post.

Great video! Much appreciated. Im going to be changing my plugs pretty soon, so this has been a big help.

Very good video! Couple suggestions, I just changed my plugs and very likely would not have done it knowing what I know now.... :-) Do not use dielectric grease on the electric spark plug connection, will lead to misfiring....if at all only apply sparingly to the ceramic plug...I didn't use any... Anti-Sieze: Apply only a little to the beginning of the spark plug thread, hand tighten, then 1/4 turn (90 degree) past finger tight, or even better use a torque wrench to 13 FT LBS... Main issue for me was the driver side (firewall) support bracket, 13mm wrench... why on Earth didn't they just put a slot in there instead of a hole?? Just so hard to get there, low down, almost impossible!! Both brackets on the driver side need to be just lose enough in order to move them away from the plenum studs... that way the bracket on the passenger side can stay (remove 2x 10mm nuts from the studs), the one behind the throttle body is tricky, in my case from a previous recall there wasn't a nut there so that was easy...loosen the 7 vertical plenum mounting screws, then use a finger and push them further up while unscrewing a bit more, that way the bolts do not stick out on bottom, no risk of damage for the seals when mounting....when everything is loose lift up the plenum and then slide to the driver side... Replaced the 6 seals on the intake, Amazon is your friend :-) After doing the research I finished the job in 2.5 hours but preparing for the work took easily another 2 to 3 hours....

Great video. Doing this soon on my WK2 with 98k miles.

Thank you waiting for a while for this video I appreciate it Godbless.

Thanks when you see really these real people share their experiment for public you feel world still fine

Thank you for making this video. I just completed this today on my 100k 2012 Jeep GC- and I must admit- this was a nightmare of service to do. Start to finish took me about 6 hours with a sandwich break in the middle. Honestly, if you can get this done for under $500, just pay it- unless you really, really like wrenching on a poorly designed engine compartment. Having to get to the aft bracket at 20:20 was the worst. Great video, and very helpful- but again, I won't be doing this service on my own next time..

I'm in the process of doing this. Boy that bolt all the way to the end sure is a pain. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video. Just did this job yesterday on my 2011 GC. Oh my, what a pain in the a$$.

Hey I had to come back to this vid. This vid helped me some time ago with my car, but I just saw how dielectric grease should be applied and the way you did it is not correct since it shouldn’t be applied to the terminal like you did, but to the ceramic or the inside of the boot. I did the spark plugs on a car I just bought using your method and I’ll have to take them out just to clean the terminals and do it right. Hope it helps.

Thank you so much for this video. My check engine light came on, got it diagnosed. They said misfire on cylinder 4. I buy new spark plugs and the dealership quotes me 3 hours of labor because they have to “take off the intake” which you did in 5 minutes. A 35 minute video and those soulless charlatans said $420 dollars. I’ll by the tools you used and do it myself

Tell the truth, this was a 2day tuneup job. Droplight on the beginning, and birds chirpping on the next day. Thanks Jeep junk for making a simple tuneup be a all day and night adventure!!!😂😂😂😂😂

I don't own a Jeep Grand Cherokee but I'm watching because my dad wants some help replacing his plugs and coils on his. This process is insane! I have a Toyota Sequoia and I can (and have) replace all 8 of my plugs and ignition coils in 30 minutes because everything is right on top and easy to access. In fact, my dad just had to have the radiator replaced on the same Cherokee and the shop billed him for an 8 hour job because of all the components that had to be removed just to swap out the rad. I replaced the radiator on my Sequoia in 45 minutes. As helpful as this video is, it only convinces me to never purchase a Grand Cherokee. I'll stick with Toyota!

Thank you. This video was very helpful. Nice job.

Thanks for your video it helped alot . Also found out it's a good time to change the air intake gaskets as well. Mine idled ruff after . change gaskets idles smooth now

Thanks. Your video help a lot!

Great video man u have saved me hundreds of dollars and to repay u some way i liked the video and subscribed to ur channel.. Thank You!!

This video is great and it helped me a great deal. However, on my Jeep (2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo), I had 2 screws on top of the manifold that are not mentioned in this video.

Great video. I almost quit half way through fighting against dumb wasps and where the genius who designed the jeep put the nuts. I will never do this job again. Then it got dark fast and the mosquitos came out. But I did it…removing the intake was like building a house with a screwdriver lol

Great video. Very informative

Huge help! Thank you!!

Thanks for putting this video together. I'll be doing this soon and not looking forward to it, but better to save money from stealerships.

Awesome video! you make this look easy... It blows my mind how difficult it is to get the damn plenum off of this thing...I've done it once....luckily my local dealer here only charges $350...for a tune up...$500 for tune up and fuel system flush...Realistically i don't mind paying that at all based on what a complete pain in the ass this job is lol...plus they usually throw me in a wrangler or another new wk2 for however long they have it....like i said, great video! thank you

Excellent vid, goes step by step to make the repair easy and understandable to even a rookie. No complex terminology or such used, and it's to the point. I just did this EXACT repair to diagnose a Cylinder 2 misfire, and its the first time I've had this in-depth of a "tear down and reassembly" Time of repair? 3 1/2 hrs This video is VITAL to cut down on repair time

Thank you so much for making this video

Great video helped alot

$800 at the Dealership fix the P0302 code. $900 for a "tune up". Going to try this . Thank you so much for the video!

Great video. I have the same shop light as yours. Tried and true...

Great video!!! Very helpful awesome 👏🏽

Awsome video, getting ready to do this soon ,thanks for the video, I believe I can do this now thanks to you 😊, appreciate it!!!!!!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful, thank you.

Thank you for the great video. Used the DYI for my wife's Durango. Screw you MOPAR for not making these things easy to maintain!

very thorough...thanks

Thank you for this video! Couldn't have done this without it, but it still took me about 4 hours, 2 hours of which was that damn rear plenum bracket bolt as I didn't have anything long enough to pry off that secondary bracket. Could have saved a lot of time if I'd just started out removing the air filter box. It was almost dissatisfying when it only took about 20 minutes to put everything back together...

Thanks a ton for the informative video!! Just did this to a 230k 2011 Jeep GC and was stuck until seeing that there was another nut in the back. Ended up the dealer that changed the plugs around 150k only changed the one side and and didn't change the side the side that requires all the extra work.

Great video very helpful ..... what type of spark plugs did you use denso, autolite or champion?

awesome video.

as you said ....it's good idea to clean the TBI while you have it off!

There are nuts and there are bolts. In this video everything is a bolt, regardless. Good stuff, good video.

15 minutes and a can of beer is all a 4.0 jeep engine requires😆

Very nice I like your video. I have same jeep grand cherokee

Great video. I’m still not sure if I’m going to do it myself. I thought it will me much easier, but with the intake removal it looks not so easy. Also wondering if the wires had to be replaced together with the plugs? Do dealers include it in their tune up cost of this is something extra?

Thanks help out. You should make one of the same car fuel injector.

When my mechanic gave an estimate of $800-$1100 for labor and materials. I said to myself hell no! Especially when I’m fully capable and just being lazy. Thanks for the tutorial I’m on it.

i love when he takes parts off...it sounds like he throws them in a pile of scrap

Hello ! Thank for the video ! What exactly do you apply the spark on ?

Thank you for the video. I am about to engage this project and your video is very well done.

great video what kind of an ass engineer would design something like that take the top of engine off to change three spark plugs again great explanation video

Nice job

Thanks Lance!

Nice vid, thanks.

Thanks for the video. plan on doing this soon. Why did they over complicate this? The WK was so much simpler

I gave this a try today, I am far from a mechanic but know how to follow KZfaq. The video was awesome but I just got stuck when moving to the driver side of things. I will shamefully have to take it to someone to finish the job

MY GOD, I now understand why the dealership charges so much to change the spark plugs on my 2013 Grand Cherokee 6 cylinder! OMG. That's alot of work and tight spots. Hmm hmm hmm, I'd gladly pay to have it done 🙄. Thanks for the video, I was contemplating on trying to do it myself..... Nahhhh, I'm good 🙄🙄😂😂😂😂.

Great video - let me ask the audience how many miles did they wait until they took the plunge and changed their spark plugs? my 2014 Grand Cherokee has 50k on it.. The owners manual says do it at 100k - not sure how optimistic that is - thanks

Thank you so much.

The 2011 owners manual says gap at 0.031 inches for the 3.6L V6, and 0.43” for the V8. All other sources, including the Jeep dealership, say 0.44 inches for the V6.

This is the best ad for electric cars that I've ever seen. Anyway, thanks for the video I was about to pay the dealership for this.

Thank you buddy. Local dealer wanted 700$ for this job.

Next video will be brakes and possibly rotor replacement for the Grand Cherokee

Thank you!

And I subscribed.

Wow the passenger side was a piece of cake but the driver side makes me want to disassemble everything and just leave it off. Thanks for the video though!

Thank dude. Dealer wants 575 to change plugs.

Changed my 2001 tj plugs in 10min or less, that's faster than geico can save you 10% or more!!! Bring back the 4.0.... PLEASE!!!

Hello there ! I have some question, Do you have to remove the battery terminal when your doing spark plug replacement? Thanks.

Ty buddy

Wow - what a dumb design with the setback of the 3.6 in the Grand Cherokee. Makes getting to the rear 10mm nut fun, as well as the bad access to the 13mm nuts on the bottom of the brackets lots of fun. If I did not have your video to show me I was going in the right direction, I would have probably passed this job on to the local shop. Thanks for sharing the information!!

Hi, Thanks for the video, we have similar vehicle, a 2011 Laredo 3.6L, however I checked the book and they ask for 0.031 gap instead of 0.043. Not sure if it is a minimum of 0.031 or recommended 0.031.

What about changing the 02 sensor with the tune up? And where is it before or after the catalytic converter
