Thank God it doesnt take 6 hrs to replace spark plugs..
So the GF has a 98 Sebring Convertible w/ a 2.5L V-6... Check engine light came on... she took it to the stealer.. misfire in 5 & 6... needs new plugs & ignition wires... $700!!! She freaked.. called me, called pops the Chrysler mechanic... why $700?? Oh to get at the rear bank to do plugs & wires you have to pull the intake manifold... WHAT!! Man that had to be an intentionally design to get the stealer billing 6 hrs of labor just to replace spark plugs.... on say they sold 200,000 of those engines over its life in all Chrysler models... gee thats $90M of stealer revenue if they do plugs on all those engines once at 50/60K miles when they should be done.... what a conspiracy!
His car is worse than the caravan... but neither is really that bad to do, on his you
only have to remove the upper plenum on the manifold and its not nearly as bad as it sounds. Still allow 3 hours minimum though
