Hello Skull_squadron. Good gracious, I hope not! Just looking I would say all plugs are accessible with the cab on. Of course, with a brand new conversion, I have not gotten to the point of plug replacement myself. Maybe someone else who has had an AWA conversion long enough to have changed plugs can confirm.

i believe on the HEMI the plugs are on top of the heads under the covers, they are not on the bottom or sides

Do you have to pull the cab to change the spark plugs?

The plug change on the 5.7 in our Grand Cherokee is easy enough. The only annoying thing is that there are 16 of them.

Picked the Gladiator up on 3-17-26. That would be one month to the day that I took it to Exodus4x4. Drove it home taking a side trip and put about 450 miles on. No issues at all. Runs good, rides good, handles good and sounds great!! Every thing works. I believe it has a MagnaFlow muffler and it sounds like a HEMI. No resonator but no issue with in the cab drone. Very pleasant to drive.

Only "issue" I have found is that the oil filter is really hard/messy to change. I use WIX filters and they are about 1/8 inch shorter than MOPAR filters. Not much difference, but it sure makes the WIX easier to get in.

My conversion included a 2.5 inch lift. Before that I was happy with the look of my 33 inch tires. But now, with the lift, the tires look small in those big fender openings. When I'm ready for tires, I'll probably go with 35's.

Exodus4x4 was great to work with. I even got a free t-shirt! I can highly recommend them. Unfortunately I did not get any in progress pics, but here are some of the finished job.

Where is the oil filter located on that motor, and what part number of wix filter are you using? I am going to have AMW do the same swap you just did on my 2021 Mojave in about 6-8 weeks and I will pick up some filters locally. Thanks!

Hello Lrowe. The filter is located on the lower, front, right side of the motor and is angled forward. I use WIX 57060XP oil filters. Best of luck with your conversion. I know you are going to love it!! I'm sure loving mine.

the bigger problem would be strangers asking the passenger "what is IMEH?".
