•4" x 10' PVC poop pipe - Qty 1
•4" PVC poop pipe caps - Qty 4
•Door/Drawer/Cabinet handle - Qty 4
•Bolts for all handle holes - #12 or 1/4" by 3" or whatever size fits the handle best - Qty 16
•Nuts for handle bolts - whatever size fits handle bolts - Qty 32 (or 48 to sandwich washer)
•Washers for handle bolts - whatever size fits handle bolts - Qty 16
•1/2" x 12" Eye bolts (mine came with one nut on each eye bolt) - Qty 4

I made pulled pork for Super Bowl Sunday

I recently picked up a Pit Boss Pro 850 pellet smoker and it's awesome. I'm using their Competition blend pellets. The 8.5 pound pork butt was removed from the fridge and rubbed down with Meat Church's Honey Hog BBQ Rub (link below) and let sit for an hour to sweat out. Then it was placed in the smoker uncovered fat cap down and it stayed in there over night at 200 F. After 7 hours I sprayed it...

Grand Cherokee OWNERS: Leaking water pump? Replace it in your driveway
Did a new rear diff in my 11 Hemi overland GC, and a new locking motor, 4x4 light returned 2 months later, so my mechanic ran different voltages though the wire got the motor to work, but thinks it’s a bad wire, so getting the wire checked by an electrical engineer next week
how did the jeep feel aftr changing the fluid ? better shifts?
Finally was able to change my motor and scanned it after clearing and got no codes. Scanned it again to be safe and I have the diff position sensor circuit and actuator code. No dash lights yet but did you try scanning after you replaced just to see? No codes were thrown?
Does it drone on the FWY?
Man, you explain this so perfectly bro! I was struggling with my rear wiper blade on my 2014 Grand Cherokee, until I watched your video. You are very clear on your explanation and showing us how to do this. Much appreciated man! I immediately subscribed to your channel.
Sounds good 👍
Definitely not soending $450 for a mopar one when they only last 60k miles. Going with the Gates $100 one this week. Meets or exceeds oem.
Do they leak? My 2020 charger 5.7 passenger side is leaking
Awesome video 😎 👏
I was out running errands at the store when your notification came through and I got the biggest laugh and smile from your user name. Thanks for the smile and the pick me up Rusty Zipper! 😆😁
@@iambigsteveo - lol, people take themselves too seriously nowadays!
Thank you!
Now thats its two years later have you had any problems with this? everything still doing fine with running the system at a lower level? Any shock problems and bag problems? Any problems with bottoming out the bags at all while driving?
Hey James Bond, I sold the Jeep almost two years ago now, I did however have the lowering links in a long time prior to me making the video and up until when I traded it in. I had no issues with the air bags, really “dippy” bumps like bridge interchanges at highway speeds sometimes bottomed out the rear struts because it being in aero mode, but honestly, no issues came of that.
@@iambigsteveo Perfect, I don't want to go that low. I would just like the Exit mode all the time, so I think this would work for me. Thanks for the reply.
Yeah dude, it’s a nicer look, makes aftermarket wheels look cleaner, you’ll be happy going this route.
Steve, I have put a spiel in your previous post. A HellCat oil pump will give you a 12% oil volume increase. The new Melling 10452HV would give you a 20% increase, the way to go. I would be cutting open your dirty oil filter to check for metal shavings. I gather you are getting the oil examined. If any metal, the engine sadly is doomed. All the best with this.
I have just purchased the same vehicle, only 22,000klms on it. From Summit I have ordered a Melling 10452HV oil pump. This gives 20% extra oil volume, essential at idling speed. I will also be using 5w-30 Penrite 10 Tenths racing oil, changing it every 5,000klms. Low oil volume at idle is what kills the lifters. I have researched this thoroughly on the web and my mechanic who is ex Chrysler told me straight out, "the oil pump is the problem". This will not fix it, but I would expect to get a long use out of it. Vehicles used by ambulance and police get the lifter failure around 30,000 miles, due to all the idling. With every day standard drivers, their vehicle may fail atound 80,000 miles, some later and some can go on forever with no probs it seems.
I'm actually jealous at how clean and rust free your undercarriage is. Here in the great white north every single car is a rust bucket.
It wasn't too bad before I got rid of it. I did do some rust control on the underside so it didn't look as bad as it could have been.
@@iambigsteveo Well I wish the ones I did for mine work because the car just smells like coating for a few days then rust still takes place. One of the reasons why I got rid of my stock exhaust cause it started ticking so bad lol
Thank you so much for showing me how to do the rear wiper blade. I just bought a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited & I just couldn't figure out how to get the blade itself up.. lol.. You got a fan for life...
I’m about to try this. Are you still happy and no leaks?
Still no leaks! Everything that got wet prior to this fix is still dry as a bone from after the fix. Definitely do it!
Pan change? Ridiculous😐😭
Don't believe the hype change your filters. Change your oil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
WHAT IS THE WHITE STUFF?
It’s a cloth tape with an adhesive backing. You apply this to cracks and seems and paint over it with the paintable rubber to make a leakproof seal. Without the tape, there’s nothing to assist bridging the gap of the rubber.
Hello. So, I have a 2012 Overland. After 3 days of non-use of my Jeep sitting on a slight inclined driveway, the rear of my jeep sits very low. I can barely put my fist in between the wheel well (if that's what you call it) and the tires on the rear. I have checked with watery soap to see if there are any leaks on the rear bags or elbow fittings of my air suspension, but I don't see anything. Do you think maybe the height sensor has anything to do with this low sitting?
Ahhhh...Stellantis.... Not exactly a step forward in quality improvement on Jeeps.... But this tricky little rear wiper replacement was made easy when I realized, due to your video, that there was a hinge cover at the base of the arm.... Thanks for that!.... My buddy just had to spend $2,500 on his Korean made transmission for his Cherokee, with only 60,000 mostly suburban paved road miles on it ?!.... Jeep used to make really good products.....
Where did you get those instructions
Scour the comments, I shared a link in a reply somewhere in here.
Found it haha thanks 🤘🏽
💪🏻💪🏻
Why would you sit a filter on the ground
It’s fine.
I just mounted the all season plow and the first pile of dirt i hit, same problem. Did you stick with this solution or did you change anything?
It held up fantastic for the remainder of that winter season. Worked like a charm. I suspect this would help tremendously with pushing dirt and of course snow!
@@iambigsteveo parts ordered... Here we go
At 100,000 miles I asked my Jeep dealer to change the transmission fluid on my 2018 Grand Cherokee and they refused to do it. It’s meant for lifetime service and changing it may possibly cause transmission slippage. That’s just what they told me.
Hey man, have been wanting to replace my chrome trim along my fog lights with some nice matte black, what would you recommend is the best way to go about getting the fog light trim out? I tried earlier today and was prying and pulling but did not want to break anything. Thanks!
Thanks. Well appreciated
I've never seen concrete so dry
I’m just following the directions.
That is some dry concrete mix.
I thought so too, but it was what the instructions called for.
you made my day ;-)
The relay you opt'd for would be nice with there rest of the parts list. In my case, the lights i bought came with looms, relay and switches altnough i cut them off and used different ones. Thanks for the ideas
Stainless steel worm gear hose clamps work too
They work in a pinch, but have the tendency to spin loose with vibration leading to the issue to come back. This is a more solid fix.
Thank you lol
Hello from France, how many pints did you use exactly? 7 or 8 Thanks
Why did you feel the need to change it?
Did the light ever came on
It never came back on after this job. I sold the vehicle July last year.
I don't want to do it anymore. Too much headache to do it on the driveway.
what’s the website?
CarParts dot com
Bro rather smell farts then gear oil, weirdo
I fart so much dude.
Thank you for sharing this I was getting very frustrated and about to try to somehow force it off possibly damaging the wiper arm until I thought about checking for a post on it

How come you guys never use headlamps? Grab yourself a Petzl that comes with a rechargeable battery. A little pricey but ive had mine for over 5 years and use it daily.
I have a good headlamp now, but not at the time of filming this video. They're very helpful!
Having the same issue / codes with my 2017 GC Summit. Has anyone had any luck with a EBay China brand? It’s WAYYY more less expensive.
I have the same noise in my 5.7 Hemi. Had it for a few years and always thought it was in the timing cover. A few weeks ago I did some testing because it has become more pronounced. I started killing fuel to each cylinder one at a time by disconnecting the fuel injector for a few seconds. When I killed cylinder 1 the noise was gone indicating either a rod knock or wrist pin. Valve train defects like lifters or cam would continue when this was done. I plan on pulling the pan and inspecting the bearing. If the crank is not scored I will try a new bearing. If not I will pull the motor. Good luck, hope this helps
Any news?
Not yet. I picked up bearings and the oil pan gasket and plan on pulling the pan next week to investigate. I will update you as soon as I find out.
Thaaaakssss 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What about filling it up with an electric pump that would make a lot more sense and it would go in a lot faster but great video
I literally cannot get the old motor off. I removed the bolts but it’s completely stuck. Any tips? I even tried popping it off with a separate jack
It’s likely “rust welded” onto the diff case, more specifically corroded onto the case. Try soaking the mating surfaces with pb blaster and let it penetrate for a bit. If you have a replacement motor already, just smack it with a hammer once you have the 4 long bolts removed.
@@iambigsteveo I’ll try soaking it! It almost seemed like it was one single piece. I have the new motor I just have been trying to get it off for months 🤣 thanks!
@TonyTomecko22 soak it and hit it with your purse! 🤣🤣
No wonder this guys got problems self induced
Thanks for the insightful comment.
Probably a stupid question, but are the spring hats clocked, and how do you clock them? I'm takling this, but went for all new components and taking to a shop to do the springs. Just want to ensure they're put on correctly and I'm not hosed when I go to swap everything.
I honestly can't remember what the top hat looks like, but I know the shock has a spring perch with a notch so the spring sits correctly. I remembered fastening the top hat down without a struggle and nothing looked out of norm. The same amount of threads where showing once I got the spring set on the replacement shock with the top hat in place before I started tightening the nut down to hold the top hat in place. I imagine if I didn't have the top hat sitting correctly, it wouldn't have looked right. I hope this helps!
@@iambigsteveo I ended up finding some guidance from the Raptor forum and calling TSW. There is one stud on the hat that is offset further from the other two. That stud should align to the hole in the lower strut mount. Then the other side assembly, the hat will be turned 180 degrees from the other one already assembled.
