Just curious -- rough cost for for getting the plugs changed on the 3.7?
Not like the old days .. have to take the intake manifold off ....

I have 80,000+ miles on my 2012 and I'm considering having them changed in the future.

Thanks

As you said, upper intake has to come off. So... I found this:
Once that's off, it's easy, just COP plug system as normal. Silly plenum setup though. Oh well, better idea eh?

That said, it looks to be an hour to do it shop time, so... what, 125 an hour? 150? At a dealership, maybe less at another shop. Rough estimate 200 bucks overall, with plugs and materials, tax, ???. But that's a rough guess. Maybe more with new gaskets (such as the intake or the throttle body) and/or new o-rings for things...

...or for 50 bucks (or less if you go to Rock Auto) I get the plugs and a new intake gasket and do it myself. But that's me.

Hope that helps, although I'm probably a little off on that shop estimate...

That is what I figured--- 2 hours of work.
