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!

You're absolutely right—getting the firing order right is key to making sure your Charger runs smoothly. For your 2016 Dodge Charger with the 3.6L V6 engine, the correct firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. This is pretty standard for most V6 engines, and it’s crucial to follow it correctly to avoid any misfires or rough idling.

When you’re doing the tune-up, double-check that the spark plug wires or coil connections are all in the right spots according to this firing order. It might also help to label them before you start, just to keep everything organized and make sure you don’t mix them up.

Take your time with it, and your Charger will thank you by running smooth as ever. If you run into any hiccups, don’t hesitate to reach out—better to ask than to risk messing with the rhythm of your engine. Good luck with the tune-up!

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!
