Look at the your engine....see where the windshield wipers are? Good....
Remove the front cowl: the fiberglass covering at the bottom of your windshield, underneath the windshield wipers.
Step #1: Remove the wiper arms (keep them on which side you take them from and note that the lowest wiper arm on the windshield goes on the passenger side).
Step #2: Remove the plastic cover that is on top of the cowl. Note that there are screws in where the air inlet is and also, that the 2 phillips head "screws" on each corner are NOT screws but levers that just need to be rotated 90 degrees to release the plastic cover.
Step #3: Don't forget to unplug the rubber hose going to the windshield washer squirters.
Step #4: Unplug the wiper motor harness and gently tug down on the plastic drains on each corner of the cowl.
Step #5: Remove the bolts holding the cowl to the firewall.
There you go, access to the back plugs and no need for funky arm bends and no hassle with intake gaskets and whatnot.
When putting everything back together....make sure the passenger side wiper arm is the lowest one on the windshield and make sure you have the proper spacing between the 2 wiper arms or they will "crash" into each other when you work the wipers.
Hope this made sense....

Just say 5 to 10 or more mins per plug especially if he has all the right tools and knows the engine well. Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way I'd not want to just do the plugs on that vehicle one thing you could do or have a friend or mechanic do is disconnect the spark-plug wires one by one at the ignition coil , take a wire brush and sandpaper and clean the connectors and be sure to dust off the sand afterwards.You might find by just doing that the engine starts to run better most ppl don't do that at all and have sever bad corroded or rusty connections on their ignition modules.

Ahh yes, unfortunately for you, the fastest way is to pull that intake... There is a dodge engineer somewhere out there having a good laugh at all us mechanics I'm sure.

you should be able to remove the upper plenium to access the rear plugs and if your careful enough you will be able to reuse the old gasket. just remove the hold down bolts and move it out of the way you dont have to unhook everything.
