Hi new to the forum this probably be ask before. I'm changing out leaking oil cooler assembly and doing plugs also. I can't find the torque specs and the tightening pattern for the intakes. Anyone know. Thanks

You should probably buy a Hayne's Repair Manual. It is inexpensive and you will have it in a couple days.
It is good you can DIU but modern vehicles are very specific about correct repair procedures.
There are enough horror stories on this Forum about how this repair has gone wrong to convince me to just let my Jeep dealer do the repairs.
Fortunately I have a competent dealer per DealerRater, not everybody is so fortunate.

Should be the same as the 3.6L Pentastar. Found the info on a Dodge forum :

2014 Pentastar 3.6 intake manifold torque specs - DodgeForum.com

Dodge Caravan - 2014 Pentastar 3.6 intake manifold torque specs - I'm preparing to do an oil cooler on a 2014, and I'm seeing a bunch of different/conflicting torque specs for the intake manifolds. For the upper manifold, I'm seeing specs for 8 and 10 Nm. For the lower manifold, I'm seeing specs...

dodgeforum.com

I have their PDF attached.

Edit : I have a problem attaching the PDF. I'll try to fix this.
Edit #2 : fixed.

Hi @buccboy1 , Just a reminder, those measurements in the diagrams in @Mark_ 's post are in inch-pounds. (the upper numbers) The foot-lb numbers are very low in the range so unless you have a very good quality torque wrench, use the inch-lbs. There are many a story of cracked plastic on the upper and lower intakes due to accidently using foot-pounds... :-(

I just picked up a inch-pound torque wrench this morning.

Also, given how little torque you're actually applying to the bolts, I'd recommend going through the each bolt a couple times after that initial torque setting in the same pattern just to make sure everything is properly torqued.
