Another awesome video, I liked the bird house as a wedge 😂
Grab what ever you can lol.....maybe not a bird house
I was going to say the same, I laughed when I saw the birdhouse.
@@EarlSinclair97 I felt a little something silly was needed. Glad to see that others picked up on it and didnt think I was serious lol.
Wow very important video! Thank you!!
Your welcome and thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.
You saved my a$$ today with this video Dave! I remembered watching this exact video after I bought my new 2019 Jeep Wrangler 6+ months ago. Had the oil changed today (~6+ hrs ago) at a trusted “local” mechanic shop (I try to be loyal to small, local owners businesses). Anyway, I picked up the Jeep, & sprayed oil the entire way down the freeway heading home till I realized it was me making the blue smoke. I pulled over into a shopping center & called a tow truck. It was an oily mess.. I followed your instructions to the tee, & even the tow truck driver was impressed, he had no idea how to disengage the transmission. Thank you!!!! 🙏
Love the bird house! Lol. clear concise instructions and no annoying music. Thank you.
Thanks for the great feedback and for watching. Make sure to subscribe
hey david thx for the great work u did on my truck a couple weeks ago,u are truly the best at what u do,i wouldn't trust my vehicle to anyone else.u always take pride in ur work thx again
Many thanks! The support is always appreciated. Always cool to hear from loyal customers!
I was watching a Trail Mater recovery on a JL and saw the orange strap, first time seeing it and came here.
Thanks!
Your welcome. Hopefully you never need it. Thanks for stopping by and for the comment
Who would dislike your video, they guy that got his gladiator repoed already?😂😂
There is always one in every crowd lol. Thanks for watching!
Thank you - you have been a lifesaver - the Jeep Dealer actually sent this video to me to watch. Have a blessed and Happy Easter! :)
I'm a Tow Truck driver, THANK YOU!!!
Always glad to help.
Another great video, thank you for giving us your experience and valuable time.
Glad that I have the opportunity to share what I know. Thanks again!
Another great MCM vid. Knob on dash or push button shifters- Mopar/Chryco always tries to get around stick shifts. But one thing remains the same...drivers fail to understand that P or PARK on a transmission shifter only "parks" the transmission. It is not engineered to imobilize the vehicle. The handbrake/'E'brake is the device that safely holds a vehicle stationary when the vehicle is parked. Driving 101 teaches this on Day One. I'm surprised auto makers don't have a buzzer and/or light to enforce this. Fully loaded 1 ton PU attached to a fully loaded tandem trailer parked on a steep grade with only the transmission in PARK/P position is a fatality waiting to happen. Best to you and yours.
You are correct. Very few people seem to use it ever. I can tell each time I get into a vehicle to pull it in the shop. I might see one engaged 1-2 times a week at the most out of 10-15 cars a day. Thanks for watching Ray and for the comment. Try to enjoy the weekend
Dig your videos Dave! No nonsense, straight forward and to the point! I always look forward to the next adventure in mechanics. Even a simple pulling on a hidden yellow cord! I mean, it could be a decade before that cord ever saw the light of day, right?..lol.. Anyway, loyal fan and follower! Be well!
Lots of thanks ... I'm an auto transporter you know this helped me out and them tires. Strain on my winch too lol .. keep up the good content 👌
Awesome video, beats reading the OM.. All your videos are outstanding and so informative/helpful.. keep up the great work.
Good information, thanks for taking the time to post it!
Your welcome and thanks for taking the time to watch!
Good to know. Awesome videos always!
Many thanks Brian!
Great video, I learned that you can use the roof of a bird house to chuck the tire, lol. When the new diesel comes in on the Ram, can you do a video on it, show us where the fuel filters are and can it use bio diesel fuel here in the Midwest.
I will certainly keep that request in mind. Thanks for watching the latest video!
Great video!
Thanks for the info. I already knew it but glad you refreshed my memory.
Your welcome and thanks for checking the video out Mike.
Great video
Thanks David! Another pro-tip video
Your welcome. I appreciate you watching it and for the comment.
Great video. Keep up the good work and more JL stuff the better lol
Your right. We have a 2019 Chrysler 300 and the transmission shift knob is weird. I miss having a stick shift or something that makes me feel like I'm in control. (ha ha) The bird house was classic.
I dont think the wife knows about it or about my daughters yard gnome lol. I couldnt get the cat to sit still long enough either lol. Thanks Wyatt
excellent video. thks
The birdhouse was brilliant. LOL
I tried to grab the cat but she knew what was up and ran off lol.
Super helpfull. God bless you!!
You are a life saver.
I love your videos!
Great video. Thank you very much👍
Your welcome Daniel!
Great video David
Great info man.
Thanks Jason! Appreciate the comment. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
Saved my day, Thank you
Very nice override feature
Luckily its not tooo hard to get to
Great video keep putting them out. So sad can only give one thumbs up
I wish they would let you as well lol! Thanks for that comment and for watching.
Thank you very helpful
Beautiful rig
Much appreciated my friend!
I took a 2019 Wrangler with 4700 miles on it, for a test srive. Left dealer parking lot, started slowing for a red light. Transmission downshifted real hard, so....I pulled on shoulder and told salesman to drive back. He said it was just a freak thing, they will look into it. I said no thanks on the deal, and left the dealership. I've had 3 phonecalls from the salesman claiming they got it taken care of. If I'm still interested, they will knock some $$$ off for me. The answer is still NO!
Great info!
Many thanks Jay!
"If you can find your owners manual" mine came on a cd for my 2014 Grand Caravan. lol
Glad it wasnt VHS! lol.
Available online. If you have a cell phone, you should be able to access it online.
Birdhouse! Great wheel chock, going to pick a couple of these up lmao
Lol.....I figured someone would get a kick out of it lol
Thank you
Great informative video
Much appreciated!
Well done as always, David. Great info. Now all i need is a couple of bird houses. 😁
Lol.....glad my wife hasnt seen that video yet lol
@@MotorCityMechanic Fast trip from bird house to dog house. 😊
Good to know.
Thanks for watching and for the comment Jeremiah.
I am totally IMPRESSed and thankful that you provide your knowledge and experience with these Videos.
If I may ask a question not related to this video but related to a 3.6L 2013 charger.
The question is about oil pressure at the beginning of the turn on. I noticed that when the engine is first turned on the climbs up to 75-80 psi. and then it comes down to 25-35. Is this typical and if it is why does it do this. Is this some how controlled by some computer system?
Thanks again and keep up the great Videos
I actually had to use this the other day when my Jeep locked up in a busy road. I was unaware of this feature. Luckily the officer that came to assist me knew . Only problem I have now is that after it was moved and towed I’m not sure if it got set back into place correctly. Will this cause any issues
thanks dave, I like the shifter also and the manual valve worked fine hey off the subject...whats up with the oil pressure sensor code on the wrangler ran into it twice but still under warranty so they went back to the dealer
Whats the code number?
You bet I learned something!
Great video! How about a video on removing and replacing the auxiliary ESS battery on the JL/JT?
GBR080R Ive been wanting to do that video for a long time. Hopefully sooner then later
Personally I would love to see both shiftwres moved to push button and then make more storage in that area like in the ram trucks. I
People go crazy when you take away their shifters lol. Trust me....I have read all the comments on the Ram shifter override.....they get mad! lol. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@MotorCityMechanic people just hate change, but change is something that is good. And the jeep lacks storage. The shifter could be placed on the steering column too to make more storage.
@@ati573 I agree.....not too sure why it wasnt placed up there so you did have more room. I guess they assume the 4x4 shifter is already there so doesnt matter at that point.
Apparently tow truck drivers can’t figure this out as they always get dropped off with unintentional neutral codes lol
On the new Key Fob for 2021 JL if fob battery fails. Where is ignition slot to put the actual metal key into to start Jeep.?
Great information can you please show us where the park override is on the Challenger and Jeep Grand Cherokee 8 speed vehicles?
Here is the link in the Grand Cherokee video I have already made: czcams.com/video/5qXbd-eSQL8/video.html . I will keep it in mind about the other vehicle. Thanks for watching Rob.
Well done. As usual. Liked. Subscribed. Bell. Going to Amazon momentarily. Question: any tips on chasing a P000B trouble code? Recently stopped using dealer for my 2015 JK - unfortunately my local mechanic has changed the Cam sensor and the pig tail harness (following technical bulletin) - but that code just keeps coming back - they can't seem to figure it out. Thanks.
Discovered your channel recently, great content, this has nothing to do with this particular video but I have a 2015 ram 2500 diesel 4x4 and don’t have the financial means to get it serviced at a shop, Iv been learning to do the maintenance myself, recently did the 67,500 servicing, your videos were a tremendous help, I now want to upgrade the break pads, Iv seen your video on your 3500 dually, are the sockets and torque specs the same for my 2500? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
awesome video, make some more how too JT video's, super cool, later
I will certainly keep it in mind. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe John.
Whoa!
Thanks for checking the video out.
That’s good to know! I would prefer a shifter myself.
I agree.....I have to be doing something with my hands
Bro, hope you are well. I have bought a 2021 Wrangler Sport on copart. This is a run and drive title. But i have some issues to start on again. The dash show us the key fob not detected, we try to start pushing the start bottom with the key and does not work. How do i know if the shift is locked? Because we use the cable to put it on neutral to get up on the towing, but we dont know if there are something else that we have to do. Appreciate your time
2014 Chrysler 300 has the transmission override at different locations.
Very true.....I actually did a video on that as well. Thanks for checking this video out!
Glad they kept the shift lever when they introduced the 8 speed electric shift to Jeeps. I guees I will have to keep my 2012 300 until they bring back the shift lever and ditch that radio knob shifter like they did the dash mounted push button automatics in the early 60's!
They have brought it back in a few vehicles like the Durango. I think we will see more.....when the people speak, they usually listen. Thanks Kevin for watching! Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
Informational
Thanks Ronald. Glad I could share it. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
@@MotorCityMechanic liked, subscribed already with bell notification
@@gsrious Many thanks Ronald! I ask everyone....just incase lol
Hey David
Thanks for this video.
I have another problem with my Jeep Wrangler JL from 2019.
I cannot get my gear box out of "P".
Is this a fuse that is broken ?
Sorry for my English : I'm Belgian :)
Bruno
Love your videos. But I have a little trouble?2015 ram 3500 4x4 .my turbo activator not working? 23;000 miles? So can I just delete it or buy new one? This is the 3rd time going out? What can I do..thks john w.west coast
Hey John......whats the item that isnt working? It says trombone so I am confused.
Thankkkk u
Your welcome!
Chrysler never fails to introduce things that keep me from buying
Lame excuse
Electronically shifted transmissions are nothing new. Other manufacturers are doing it as well - people don't often realize it, especially if a normal looking shifter is put in the console like in this Wrangler.
It's a jeep ,yea something is gonna happen.lol Good public service video🆒
Very true....most times its not the Jeeps fault lol. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I have a 2020 JT gladiator
And the 4w stick is loose can’t engage to 4wd help?
Off topic but how do u get the new jeeps out of ship mode i tryed the whole holding the up arrow but nothing thanks
On the later models I believe only with the scanner.....number of miles driven might also take it out eventually. just read up on the 2019 and it says hazards on and up arrow for 5 seconds. I havent tried it personally but will try next time I PDI one. They had som many different methods over the years that I just grab the scanner when I can. Thanks for pointing that out
Great video if you can remember. More space shuttle crap...lol
Wouldn’t buckling the seatbelt without you in it also do the same thing?
Are you asking if buckling the seat belt will allow you to take it out of park? If so then no.....the seat belt plays no roll in either starting or getting the shifter to move. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
HI David,
I have jeep wrangler 2021, and I have problem with the gear when I put D Or R the car is not moving. what can I do? Thanks
Dave, I just followed your video - there is no where in the 2019 to use a key - it will still not get out of the locked position. Please send me the fix ASAP! Thanks.
👍 👍
Much appreciated
I learned I’m keeping my JK until I die. No JL or JT in my future.
Consider it filed away for a rainy day...sir
Thats what its all about....I learn more from watching the from reading....explains why I never open my owners manual lol.
When u pull the teather do u put it in nutual
I would assume that pulling the tether is putting it in neutral manually, cable operated. The shifter is really an electronic selector so with no power it' doing nothing when you move it.
Once pulled....basically it is in neutral. But if its 4wd you can place the t-case in neutral.
Why would this happen other than car accident ? My jeep got stuck in park after work for no reason
Why not just use the transfer case? Towing instructions say to tow flat w/ all 4 wheels on the ground or on a rollback. It seems as though the transfer case in neutral would be the easier/better solution (wouldn't it?).
except you don't have one in a 2wd version.
...but why would you have a 2wd Wrangler or Gladiator?
Interesting but why not just drop the tcase in neutral
When it comes to features like this and every vehicle having different options.....I like to do a "one size fits all" type format. What I mean by that is those Jeeps that are 2WD. Also......its a pain in the rear some days to get the t-case in neutral....feels like I am about to break the handle off....got to let the vehicle roll just a bit to get it to easy move and remember the shifter wont move to let us. It can be done but for some people......I would say women but thats not the case most times..... it will be difficult. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Great vid and good to know. However, I'd simply put the t-case into Neutral.
Isn't that electronically controlled too?
@@cruisepix I thought about it, but I think it's a direct mechanical link - at least it feels like it. i'd have to verify.
@@jpboileau5473 czcams.com/video/IhQat3CLITc/video.html
@@cruisepix Yeah it's remote but still mechanical - the engine computer has no say in it :)
Mopar.com for owners manuals
Appreciate the tip! Thanks for watching as well
I hope you put her bird house back in the yard before she noticed it gone. Does she watch these videos??
She says she does but I think not sooooo much lol. Back when it came from and nothing harmed. Its as if it never happened lol.
David,
I need your help. My wife’s 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has chronic radio/Bluetooth issues. The first year was fine. Then all of a sudden I started to hear static/interference when my was driving everyone she calls hears it. It also is heard in the vehicle. Almost like an electric shaver right next to it. Then the radio started to go all static, the xm same. Jeep has done software updates, UConnect support, they said it was a module, that was replaced. That didn’t fix it, so they replaced the radio, all with no improvement. I synced my phone to it, same thing. We had several Jeep loaners, her phone never did that in any of them. Her phone was checked by Best Buy, and certified by apples to have no issues. We are at a loss!
Replace the remote microphone and cable.
cruisepix should I recommend this to the dealer?
@@prankmonkey650 If they just disconnect the jack in the back of the head unit it should let them know if that's the cause. You might be able to do it yourself if you can get to it.
Can’t you just put transfer case in Neutral
You sure can! Great job on realizing that. What I did with the video was to include the 2wd and the 4wd......made it a one size fits all! Otherwise you are correct. Thanks for watching
Now I know where to hide my cocaine!
Lol....theres certainly room for a few things there!
"theres always a chance for it to be towed", all you jeep owners pay attention!
Rarely do we need to use it but you never know....especially once it gets some miles and age on it. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe. Merry Christmas
Just use the 4x4 shifter put it puts it neutral
See the n put it there puts gear box in neutral
Exactly! I like how you put some thought to it. When I made the video I wanted a "once size fits all".....that way the 2wd Jeeps can be included
Great video
Thanks Dewayne!
