Unhappy about time for a plug change
I'm at 27k miles now so its about that time. Does anyone know what the price is for changing the 16 spark plugs at the dealer? Anyone done it on their own???

I did my 03' It was kind of a pain in the A$$. I did it three times in 100K. I think the new engine should be easier. I think it is around 2.0-2.5 hours labor plus plugs. So about $300 bucks by my estimate.

After doing mine the first time I went closer to 40,000 miles, because they didn't look that worn at 30,000.

What plugs are we going to use?

Heard somewhere that Dodge went cheap with them on the Hemi in '09

Just read on another forum that a dealer quoted $400! This sucks.

I really don't want to do it myself but I can't pay someone that much to do something I could do in a couple of hours.
