LS Swap Playlist: • Jeep Wrangler LS Swap
With the 5.3 LS Engine wrapped up, its time to pull the engine out of my 2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ!!
The inline 6 4.0 lived a good life, and its a great engine... However, the added power of the LS is going to be amazing. Going from around 190 Horsepower, up to around 360 Horsepower is going to move this Jeep with ease!
For those of you who are new to the channel, i am doing a budget 5.3 LS swap into my Jeep Wrangler. So far, the project has gone very smooth. But now its time to get to the nitty gritty!
In this video, we remove the 4.0 engine from my wrangler, remove all the unneeded stuff for the swap, and talk about what all we need to keep from our wiring harness.
A big fear for people in regards to this swap is the wiring... How do we wire the LS engine to work well with the Jeep components. Luckily I have Ben here to explain what all will need to be done with the LS swap wiring. We will make a video going further in depth in regards to wiring in this TJ LS swap.

You guys are awesome! I wish my wife would help me like that with my Jeep. Thanks guys for the instructive entertainment.
Let her pick out a few small upgrades and let her install them with you!
on a good note, the Transmission fluid looked nice and clean. LOL.
For anyone interested in that transmission, the fluid looked pretty good.
“Now that the floors covered in coolant I thought it’d be a good idea to mix oil in with it.” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That's funny, I was about to quote that also! I've had two projects recently where I'm constantly dealing with oil and coolant. Totally sucks. I'd much rather deal with rusty bolts on control arms:)
Basically every time I am messing with fluids in my garage lol.
I spill fluids all the time. I use saw dust over kitty litter. My floor is bare concrete so having sawdust always on hand is a must.
You have now become the most bad ass jeep channel on CZcams
Pulling out an engine while wearing crocs.. now that's a bad ass 👍
I have been looking forward to the engine swap videos . I would love to have the old LJ transmission but mine is an 03 so it wont work. Looking forward to the next video installment . Take care and be safe guys.
Oooo, the carnage has begun. There’s no going back now
What you need is a 3 engine vertical rack,welded up with 1x1" steel tube, then you use engine picker to mount them.
Once, when replacing the transmission on my LJ, we had fully drained the fluid and my buddy didn't notice the pan right behind his head when he laid down under the Jeep. Let's just say ATF-4 makes an interesting shampoo/conditioner LOL.
Hahahahaha “Who said we should drain the transmission fluid” love it.
Wow! I can’t get my wife to even add washer fluid to her car! I’m beyond impressed!!
I asked my wife to pump the brakes on a classic car I have....not for a bleed, just to check something. Pumped them like 3 times. You would have thought I told we were moving and she had to do all the packing. My wife has never put gas in a car. She let's me know when she needs gas and I use her car that day. I hope I don't predecease her.
@@willb3018 oh man... If mine would have done this it would have been the last time she parked on my driveway. She's not a garage queen but not afraid to get dirty when it's time to do so.
I love that you guys Jeep together. Keep on Jeepin on.
I know that since you moved you haven't put out as many videos... It so sad... You have lives and children! 😅😂😭
But seriously, I love the dynamic you both have. The love for your Jeeps, upgrades, quality and having fun!
While I'll probably never do a 4.0 to LS swap....(never say never) this is absolutely amazing!
Keep driving those 'ronas, Ben! Cheers to 2021
It’s coming together guys!!! I’m looking forward to the LS going in!
Love your content
Can’t wait for the wiring video. I want an in depth like Ben’s axle video pretty pleaseee. 🙏
Happy New Year Cassie and Ben !! Hope you'll post so many videos in 2021 :) I'm hurried to see them ...
I’m loving what I see. Hurry up and get it done and let’s go wheeling. LJs rule
I’ve done video production in the past and I know how much of a job that alone can be. Thanks so much for everything you guys do. I am enjoying your channel immensely! I’ve said it before I would rather watch you guys than anything on TV.
No joke she’s sooo easy on the eyes...🥰🇨🇦
So excited for the next video in this Ls swap series, I've got an 05 tj that I want to do this to soooooooo badly! Love watching your videos!!!
Hi guys now I can wait to hear that Jeep On... I can't wait for D other video. It's looking very good very clean
Awesome Job! Happy New Year!!
Loving the videos. Keep 'em coming. Thanks for making a more comprehensive video of an LS swap. Novak would sell more parts if they did something like this.
Love the videos guys, keep up the great work!
Hi Cassie,. I'm a new subscriber...I love your videos... Very informative... I just ordered the TrekPow car battery charger , after seeing your video on it. 😊
Great Video as usual Cassie, You need to open up your own shop! Keep Jeepin Classy Cassie!
Love the crocs. I use mine all the time
Put your shopvac in wet mode. Drain the rad via. As you pull the lower rad hose jam the vac into it with it on. Pretty low mess
The wiring harness connector is near the rear drivers side shock and the fuel tank.
Nice work! looking forward to seeing this pan out. Ive thought about putting a V8 in several of my jeeps over the years. Never had the guts. Maybe you'll inspire me :D
Happy New Year
Good stuff keep it coming
nice work guys
Great video
8:20 Been there before... its amazing how far that spreads, haha!
We’ve got a bleeder! Great video!
Nice removal wit only the usual hiccups. :)
You can’t make an omelette with breaking a few eggs. 🛢🍳
Great content! 👍
Happy New Year. I’m anxious see your fuel mileage improvement. Hopefully you logged the MPG since you upgraded your axles and went with 37’s.
Had me LOLing! Thanks for that.
I hate transmission fluid 😅 it stinks you guys are awesome 🙏🏼🤙
Cat litter is good to clean up fluids. Just grind it into the stain on the concrete with boots and it will be less noticeable.
At least we know the trans was healthy and not full of dirty fluid!
I’m doing my LJ at the same time. What’s the odds?!
Anytime I take on a job like this I get a cheap tarp from harbor freight and lay it down and also have a bucket of cat litter in case of spills. Makes clean up a lot easier especially if the floor is uncoated concrete.
Ben just standing there watching the fluid run out 🤣
Swap is gonna be SWEET! A mess is always a fun experience, no going back to clean 😂. May as well watch it
Hahaha...4 second in and I am busting into laughing out loud...let's see where this goes hahahah...oh and ben...get the dang buck man don't just stand there going "oooooo" hahahahaha. Keeping it classy hahaha
Right!! He just stood there filming the mess, the damage was done😂
Protip: always have oildry handy at all times. 2 reasons: 1) clean up oil easy, 2) for the cases you actually get stuck in mud, will help to get you unstuck.
EDIT: 3) extra weight if you live in a snowy area - like KS
I can feel dexter getting goosebumps.
You’re gonna have to get a big vacuum to scrub them floors clean
Great video you guys make me laugh.
That's Cool,Woman that can Wrench her own Ride,and Cute Too!👍😊
Where can I find a woman that likes to drink beer and work on vehicles that’s wifey right there
for the win
My keeps been down for over a year now, kinda stuck with it. Story is, I was headed to work and it just gave out at 60mph. Engine Erving with no go. We just got my Jeep refinanced too. Got a loan on it, paying for a vehicle still, that can’t be driven... struggling to find a transmission. now I just sit in it, and dream of driving it again..
im not sure if it get mentioned, but if your AC system is still working, make sure that you have a shop evacuate the ac system
Nice. And a really hot ass mechanic.
Edge insight 3,for tach oiltemp pressure and anything else u wanted to know about engine.
I've been leaning towards the 5 7 hemi so I'd have just one PCM and no adapter for TC to transmission, no emulator, etc....
I'm in Texas too, and I must have it 100% emission legal. The cesspool of Htown
That's a lot of Transmission fluid...I got to bring my WJ to the dealer for a small leak today. So hopefully it was just a bad seal.
Love this! Question- Which one of you thought about removing the bumper/ winch ? As soon as the grill came out I’m like “that which has got to go! “ lol Thanks so much for these awesome vids : )
Me! Lol. Ben was being optimistic and hoped we could leave it😂 definitely needed to remove it to pull the engine and transmission out.
That's what floor dry is for 👍
You are really worried if you have enough space ? Would kill for a garage like yours
Just subscribed. Great content! I'm starting on an engine swap in my Comanche presently. One burning question though...how do you stay so clean?!? I mean me, even with gloves, hats, coveralls.....I still come out of the garage looking like a coal miner! What's the secret? haha! Keep up the good videos!
Lol Ben and I could be doing the same project, and he always comes out 9373839 times dirtier😂
The 6.4 hemi jeep wrangler rubicon is supposed to come out soon this month at dealerships it will be available on a rubicon wrangler v8 option
77k
Y’all make it look so easy 😭
Ben... Shouldn’t we drain all the Fluids? ... Ben ... Why ? 😝
It's not an engine swap unless you get fluids all over the floor lol. I'm a mechanic by trade and I have never done an engine swap without spilling something. I'm looking forward to this swap.
Your smile betfful
I’ll take the engine for my 87 wrangler
At least your fluid is clean hahaha
Next engine swap.....get done kitty litter on hand. It’s great for cleaning up spills.
The forbidden sweet 'n' sour!
Get the kitty litter!
Nice! :-)
On the trans, we may need to talk. my 01 tj clutch is on last leg and considering going auto...I might be in the market soon
Sadly this trans won’t work. It’s only for the 04-06
@@JeepGearGadgets There ya go. Thanks for the input, I had no clue.
Serious question, the 4.7 engine from a 2005 cherokee laredo can be fitted to a Tj
The best way to prevent a mess like that on your garage floor is a kiddie pool
CC. Strengthening plates for the V8 swap might be necessary as you're doubling the power and torque dear ? Could one just swap for the stick shift as I'm sure the 6 speed is strong enough ! V.
How do you like the badlands Apex winch? I just got one. All the reviews and specs look good.
So far it’s been good!
If you sell the cats I would like to buy those. Im needing a set.
Forbidden Gatorade
How do you not have a bag of speedy dry in the garage?
😎👍
I keep most my old parts
You did take the transmission fluid out in the end tho.
So what are you gonna do with the 42RLE?
I need a trans for my TJ!! 🙋🏽♂️
It is for sale
How did you make your guages work
Selling old 4.0 engine or parts? Would like to get your cats you just put on...
Big 😳
I'm Hector from Brownsville TX, are you going to sell your 4.0? I'm interested for my jeep tj, I want a 4.0 or 4.7 I'm looking for something at a good price
I know two years have passed. But, may I have the old engine and transmission?
5:21 that’s why you have bruises on your arms! 😏😏
Where did all that fluid come from? Transmission & transfer case are both sealed
The transmission output seal rides on the input shaft of the tcase.
How many miles are on the trany?
Getting drunker as the video goes on!!! Hahaha!!!
Lemme guess. All the paper towels in the house were used up. Time to hit Costco.
Would rather have the LS engine myself
are you guys in texas where are you
