Hear hear - this is a must-see for anyone deciding whether to tackle changing the sparks in their 3.6 Pentastar-equipped Grand Cherokee. This is not a simple job - I would have been lost without this. Austin, if I could make a request for a future video: A how-to on swapping out the variable valve lift solenoids on a 3.6 Pentastar. They sit on top of the cylinders - it's job you could do after stripping down the engine the same way you did for the spark plugs. But the connectors on those are tricky and advice on how to diagnose problems and get those out without causing damage would be much appreciated.

Thank You, I replaced my CPS with a cheep on and only got 3 tears out of it. Great explenation

thank you and HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I think it's funny how everybody says military grade stuff when you go to buy it everything in the military is broken

I also bought their upgraded headlight kit for my 97 ZJ, MUCH BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS. On my 99 I made my own cables out of HEAVY WELDING WIRE & ALSO PUT RELAYS & HEAVIER WIRE FOR MY HEADLIGHTS. HUGE DIFFERENCE BUT TOOK MUCH MORE TIME. THESE KITS ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY, T.Y.

I left the original cables in place, Ran the upgraded cables right along side them. Everything fit on the studs & terminals. GREAT FREAKIN CABLES, THEY ARE ALSO MARKED WHERE EACH END GOES, VERY NICE.

I bought a XJ a few months back. When I bought it all I knew how to do is change a flat and change my oil. Finding your page has been the biggest help! It is hard learning all this stuff by myself so your videos have saved me. I am learning so much! I was able to change my ball joints out last night all by myself with the help of your video. I feel so accomplished. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee limited. Replaced the Drivers side High and Low Beams. It was a real pain in the ass but way easier then the passenger side is turning out to be. The high beam was a piece of cake. I have access to the low beam but can't get the bulb to turn to remove. Top bottom no good it's like someone jammed it in there and put the cap back on and said the hell with it . Iv tried prying on it twisting it but the bulb won't budge. Bad angle and no room. I moved the ecm still can't get to the bulb. I'm guessing the bumper needs to come off now and remove the whole light unit. My hands look like they went through a meat grinder. Any Ideas

I'm going to have to replace the front axle seals in my '88 XJ and your video gave me exactly what I needed - very clear, well-organized and detailed. Thanks!!!

I appreciate guys like this who don't take shortcuts and always pay attention to detail. After a house, a car is the next most expensive thing you might buy, so having a guy you can trust like this guy is awesome

You didn't replace the cam bearing?

HESCO radiator neck , Zj fan clutch , trans radiator with bypass for winter use , insulate entire jeep its a hot box

My buddie owns the white 4 door xj now up here in Wisconsin

Why didn't you replace the cam bearing?

So I love your videos but I’m having gauge issues with my 76 j10. The guy I bought it from put a new painless wiring harness on it but didn’t finish the job. Bought a new circuit board and that didn’t change anything. Then was told to put a jumper wire across the two pins above temp gauge and everything worked until the temp gauge maxed out too hot and started smoking. I’ve made sure none of the gauge studs are touching the metal plate and have tried some voltage regulator configurations but still no luck. Any ideas?

HOW MUCH WOULD LABOR COST FOR A JOB LIKE THIS IN A SHOP?

Anyone have the part numbers for both?

How’s the new cam preforming?

this is 6 years ago... this is now 2024 and are you still on the same 12 hole injector today?

👍👍

YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO REPLACE SLEEVE its what positions everything correxctly its important for caster bet your Jeep wonders , especially on bumpy roads this isnt important wright torque lower nut to 70-90 ft lbs Torque adjusting sleeve to 40 ft lbs Torque upper nut to 100 ft lbs Test knuckle turn. Effort not to exceed 26 lbs

Excellent Vid!

I have a 2000 XJ. I removed the cam and cam bearings without removing the head, intake or the exhaust. I did have to remove the radiator and front clip. There is a very simple way to do it, especially if the oil pan is also removed.

You dont need to jack up the truck or support anything??

Hey, Austin... if you dont mind me asking, where in WI are you? I'm in SE WI... both of my xjs have had the typical WI issues.

what a red neck idea zip ties lol

Honestly big thanks on your “over 300,000” suggestions. I’m about to do my 98 (again) and it’s got 347,000 💪

in order to get my oil pan out on a completely stock xj I had to take off both shocks, the steering damper entirely(which I had to drill out as well), then take off the passenger side upper control arm bolt(only the 1 by the axle). this still wasn't enough for me to get it all out, so I used 2 bottle jacks and placed them near where the shocks would go and forced the axle down an inch or so more. then the pan just fell out. getting the oil pan in and out was easy with this, especially with bungee cords to hold back the trans lines in the front.

Excellent work ! Good tip on the bump stops that are smooth on top instead of a holding water

Lost me when he used vise grips instead of a spring tool.

Post Biden - $200.+ !!!

I’m working on this now. Will be installing on a 99 with factory fogs, a 96 with factory fogs, and a 95 YJ where I intend ti recreate factory fogs. So will be interesting. Need to buy the wire connectors to hook up that pigtail. Only question is whether it’s needed on the 96. Based on wiring diagram (I’ve exhaustively researched the fogs), I think it will be necessary.

Can't find the link to the torque sequence

Always the best how to vids

Just found your channel and subscribed. Great content and I’ve learned a lot. Thank you 🙏! After watching quite a few of your videos I am shocked at how much rust that you have to deal with on an ongoing basis. I live in the mountains of Colorado and have hardly any issues with rust. I’m thankful for that and appreciate the ease of working on my own zj. Thanks again for the excellent content.

You didn't walk the head bolts out half turn at a time? Every head I've ever pulled, I go through and give each bolt a half of a turn in increments so that they all come out at the same rate. I was taught that taking each bolt out completely while leaving the others fully tight can/will cause axial stress on the head and might crack it.

What kind of temperature difference did you see after the install during normal driving and when 4 wheeling?

Thanks for doing this video jeep xj is my main mode of transportation for my adventures

Great Video Thanks

What about transfer balancing?

Any time you use an impact wrench without safety glasses, you are rolling the dice with your eyesight.

Thanks

Thanks

Hi. This was a great masterclass video. Is there a video where we can see how to change wheels in case they failed while traveling? Seems like a simple question, but in a Jeep it's important to know where to attach the jack. Also what jack is best to use. Thanks

You make it look so easy……can you do mine………🤪

Nice video. I love the detail! Personally, I don't wrap, zip and clip until I have tested that my repair work was successful by starting and driving the vehicle for a couple of hours. You are much more confident in your work than I am in mine! :D

Great tutorial, followed all the steps and did a great job and save some money , thanks for sharing.

Hey man great video very thorough thanks. Can I ask why you did not change the turn signal bulb as well while doing this video? I want to do this conversion of all 3 lights. Any advise on what turn signal to get and if will need the harness. Thanks J

What is the part number for the brake lines you used?

Need to replace mine on my jeep. After watching your video I know I can do it
