I’m about to tackle a tune-up on my 2016 Dodge Charger, which has the 3.6L V6 engine, and I want to make sure I get everything right. I know that getting the firing order correct is crucial, but I’ve seen different orders floating around. Can anyone confirm the exact firing order for this specific engine? I’ve heard that if you get it wrong, it could lead to misfires or rough idling, and I definitely don’t want my Charger sounding like it’s trying to play a drum solo out of sync. Any advice or confirmation would be really helpful before I dive in!

Hey Nicko, you're definitely on the right track with making sure the firing order is spot on—that’s key to keeping your Charger running smoothly. For the 2016 Dodge Charger with the 3.6L V6 engine, the firing order is indeed 1-2-3-4-5-6, just like v8ismyheart mentioned. It’s a straightforward sequence, but if it’s not done right, it can cause the engine to misfire or idle roughly, which nobody wants.
One tip before you dive in: I’d recommend labeling the spark plug wires or coil connections before you start the tune-up. It makes the process a lot smoother and helps prevent any mix-ups. It might seem like a small step, but it can save you from a lot of headaches later on.
Take your time with the tune-up, and if anything feels off, don't hesitate to ask. It's always better to double-check than to risk throwing your engine's rhythm off. Your Charger will be purring like a kitten once you're done!
