Trac bar is the biggest culprit of death wobble
Yes. ALL the suspension bushings should be checked
Apparently you need to learn how to read a tape measure
Measure twice, adjust once
Can anyone out there tell me if my 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ (X) 4.0 litre engine requires an EGR Valve ??? Just purchased it in February and trying to nail down the lack of power in 5th gear on any kind of slope! Thanks!!
The 4.0 does not have an EGR. Since you have an X, I would guess that you have airplane gears and oversized tires...gonna suck on hills in 5th
My 4.0 after running and gets operating temp you cant get the oil cap off to add oil or even the pcv valves out of the valve cover after running awhile it does the lifter tap
Hi I’m from Costa Rica and I just purchased an XJ 1988 and i wonder if you have the size of both (PCV/CCV) or a link where I could buy it on Amazon or eBay. Thank you 🙌🏻
Let me check
Your camera was not aimed at the assembly process of he new cup holder. Just showing an empty hole while you worked off camera. I appreciate your effort. Just telling the truth. The extraction part was great and much appreciated. Good luck. Keep getting better and thank you.
You're welcome
Can I use intake off 96 donor jeep cherokee on my 2001 jeep cherokee? Reason I ask is vacuum ports are in different places . Think I could reroute?
Yes you can
It's so nice that you have so many pictures of your wife hanging up in the shop.
Always!
im changining my 96 jeep cherokee 4.0 timming chain /torque is set for 50 fp /thats what haynes calls for.thanks very much,if im wrong let me know if possible.i am hearing 80 fp also .
Per the AMC era FSM the camshaft sprocket bolt is torqued to 50 ft/lbs. I believe the later chrysler pubs misprinted it to 80 ft/lbs. The later style cam retention plate motors are 80 ft/lbs.
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I found out the vacuum line going to cruise control servo was cut. Im assuming thats why my cruise control doesnt work. But would this also cause me to fail smog? Ive been failing due to high nox
It could....running lean
Measure the woofer. It is Not 6.5" Elac included the plastic ring surrounding the woofer in the measurement. So it's very deceiving. They are actually 5.25"
The industry standard is and always has been that a speakers diameter includes the surround
I have those Polk speakers. They are the Monitor 4A 179.00 pair retail 1989 6 ohm 92 spl efficient. Good speakers but very bright.
@@bradleydurbin6784 they are good speakers and work well in my garage
They are a very versatile. They can go well with any receiver or high end amp. And work well with a variety of placements. On stands up against the wall or even just plopping them on the floor and getting a bit of extra bass.
Hi, I just bought this 1993 Wrangler 6 Cyl. with a Freshley rebuilt engine. When I first got it, It ran supper rich, black smoke upon acceleration. rough idle, slight hesitation upon acceleration and loss of power from 2500 RPM & up. I found codes for TPS and MAP. Aso found his new Spark plugs Fuel fouled. Dry and black. Now, after I changed spark plugs, the MAP, IAC, TPS and Temp sensors It runs good. but I'm smelling something weird upon acceleration. the heavier I accelerate the worst the smell. Almost smell like fuel smell mixed with some kind of chemical smell. I can't figure out where its coming from. Any suggestions. Thanks...
Check exhaust, make sure there are no leaks
So no cure demonstrated on the TJ.
The cure is to ensure all the suspension and steering components are not worn, tires are balanced, and alignment is correct
Anyone have the part # for these items by chance for the 4.0?
the part numbers vary but the best bet is to check on rock auto. the front is wo orifices the rear with. Rear OEM / Interchange Numbers: 53030495, Front OEM / Interchange Numbers: 53030497
Can’t see what you’re doing. Need a camera guy.
well, sometimes it is not possible
Thank you for this video. I have a 1971 Honda CL450K4 that I would like to paint Candy Topaz Orange and this just sealed the deal for me.

I use the Lucus Hot Rod zinc oil 10-30, in my 1982 Toyota Celica, 1990 chevy suburban 3/4 ton 4x4 also in my lawn mowers, gas 9000 watt generator, lawn tractor
That is not a bad choice
@@superb60ce I remember my High school auto shop teacher in 1970 in the classroom he would have a lettuce on engines and he did bring up the subject of zinc in motor oil and how important it was to the engine and what it does for the engine, it was just a part of engine oil for engines from back in the 1930 or so
Thank you! Putting an XJ engine in my YJ and while I knew they were different and that the XJ had the adapter, I found basically no info in the FSM about this and how to make sure the XJ adapter is deleted properly.
No Problem
I did this a year ago and im very pleased with the result the only thing is the horn button part i glued the leather on it and if i did this again i would take off the steering wheel and see if i could leather wrap everything on the steering wheel where it was before
Nice
Appreciate you taking time to make video. Have a question I have 99 laredo heat blows great but ac blows hard out of 1 vent others lightly any ideas as to why would be helpful
No clue
Looks like that 2.5 cover is from a later model YJ. My 87 with a plastic valve cover has a PCV currently installed. Any idea if this should be changed to a CCV like you're showing here? There's been some monkey work going on with the EGR and a few other things. Trying to run it stock
If yours is an 87, I would try to find the original typle PCV system
@@superb60ce Was finally able to locate the complete vacuum diagram for the YJ 2.5L - you are correct. One more question. Do you have any idea where to get the "metering plug" for the vapor canister? Looks like a small plastic orifice
@@diktat6558 It is part of the canister.....in the day was easy to just replace the canister....
@@superb60ce Dang, that's what I was worried about haha. I'll figure something out if I can't find one. Appreciate the responses, have a great weekend
@@diktat6558 store.delorean.com/101109-carbon-canister.html
I took your advice and bought the Bilstein's. Really glad I did
No substitute for quality
Could you replace the valve with a crankcase push in breather on a 2.5?
The open vent (line that rins to aircleaner) could be replaced with push on filter breather
@@superb60ce thanks for the reply!
Got the blower out, had two dead mice. Put everything back together and got a third smaller mouse caught in the blower so back to the drawing board, I've become an expert at blower removing in my '02 z06. Question, where is the air intake that they're crawling in from? How did you get rid of the smell of decaying mice?? By the way my blower was held in place by Torx screws, getting in there was like Yoga poses, luck I'm a thin guy!
The air comes in under the cowl on the RH side. It is almost impossible to get at. With the blower out, I use a shop vac to fully clean any debris....the only way to keep them out, is to periodically drive them, and keep mice bait traps in the garage
Greetings from Chile, could you help me with a problem, I have a Liberty KK 2.8 2008 diesel, the question is, can the CCV be repaired or should the entire cover be replaced?
I have no idea with the liberty
So where could these fumes ( sometimes ) be coming from? My jeep grand Cherokee is a 1994 , and it's my baby !! I think it's a,6 cylinder . Other mechanics tell me the engine is awesome !! HELP?

I’ve got this exact issue. Going to check my fuse now, thanks
No problem
Hey man. I just thought I'd provide a little bit of information that I'm gained from my research back. A few years ago, my brother had a rear main seal leak in his jeep xj and we're like man. We don't wanna we don't wanna do the rear main seal... So I did a lot of research and came across the fact that the rear CCV orifice. Is typically too small. A diameter and the inline 6 gets high case pressure, which leads to oil being pushed out the rear main seal. So what I did? What we did is we put a big fat like half inch line coming out of that back orifice CCV. And it' stopped leaking. , so I'm just sharing that with you alright? Thank you.
Yes they will overpressure, the fat line can mitigate it, but I have found that by doing old school PCV maintenance, IE replacing the orifices every 50k miles or so as well as the aft line, I have no problems
Im currently putting a long block from titan engines back in my 96 xj. What do i need to do to make this work as there is no adapter on the long block?
check ebay and buy an adapter or install an oil filter relocation kit

Hey! Great video going to check my lines but the code that was thrown today was P1494 on my 2000 XJ / CA Emissions. Any help would be appreciated.
P1494 is related to the leak detection pump....you are right to check the vacuum lines first
@@superb60ce exactly. What is weird as I hear and see a lot of is a line is disconnected off the manifold. When I see a lot of other videos XJ have 3 lines associated to the manifold but mine for the most part only has like 1 which doesn’t make sense to me and confused me drastically.
U use a clear coat at end or just primer and color.? .. chrome
No clear, just the duplicolor two can system
Just as easy to put on a TransDap remote oil filter kit.
But this is free
Man - I wish I could have seen HOW you removed all the wiring on top of the engine, before you got started!! There are no F10 528i N52 videos that I can find showing how to do this.
Just take your time and be careful and patient...the connectors get fragile over time. The reason nobody films it is it can take over an hour to carefully remove it
Hello and good morning. Just found your channel. Saw you are in upstate SC possibly? Im in Pickens SC. I have a 1988 yj ive been semi resoring / fixing on for a sometime. Appreciate the info.
No problem
Nice video as I am doing a similar install on a CJ. I wonder if those front speakers will be prone to damage due to their location right under the sill?
1 year and 13k miles later, the dash speakers are performing very well. Helps that they are "Marine Rated"
Appreciate your help. I watched this just before setting to diagnose my 98 and you led me right to it in about 15 seconds, rubbed a hole under battery. Not a big leak, just enough to kill cruise control and retard the blend doors. Love these easy trucks.
Happy to help
Great video- thank you
Glad you enjoyed it

how did you find that leak? can these be found with a smoke test?
I found my leaks with a visual inspection of all the vacuum lines, however, a smoke test could be used as well
