More for looks than anything else!!!!!!!!!!! He says as he removes the air
intake ballast….I don’t think so Tim!!!! It is an air reservoir so that
when you gun it the engine has air sitting there ready to swallow, it
doesn’t have to drag air immediately though the filter to get going
I agree with blowing the hole with a compressor host first. Get that grit
out of there. A little thing i noticed which hasn’t been commented on thus
far – the vice-grip on the lift strut to prevent accidental closing of the
hood on your noggin. I’d recommend against applying the vicegrips on the
pushrod directly, but instead find a 2×4, cut it appropriately and wedge it
between the engine compartment and the hood for added insurance…!
jbrunsonjr I have to replace a fuel injector on my 06 4.7L Commander. Any
tips or a vid you could post for assistance? Thanks, Mike
its safe to say this video will be closely simular to the earlier 4.7
models 1999-2004, its prolly easily on the earlier models thou
that 10mm he uses is more of a rachet.
@mperu99 – Yeah, I know – tell me about it. Unfortunately I don’t have an
air compressor. I will try and add that step on my video soon…
Follow the bottom radiator hose, normally their at the top but on my 05 3.7
it’s at the bottom. Just changed mine
30,000 miles on my 2006 5.7 liter jeep and I use an ax handle to prop up
the hood. I like the vice grip version.
hes calling .004 “40 thousandths” is that right? i thought .004 is ” 4
thousandths”? so what is the gap? .004 or .040?
Anyone know what size socket would I need for removing a PCV on a 2006
Grand Cherokee 4.7L? The PCV on my Jeep GC model is way back drivers side,
screw in type and hard to get to with lots of stuff on/around it. It
requires a socket for unscrewing/removal according to online posts. What
size socket do I need for this job and any other tips? How deep should the
socket be? This is the new location for the PCV, not to be confused with 05
and early 06 models that had the PCV on the oil filler pipe.
Either that was a GTP or a trailblazer with a typical bad tranny 7:18
Great Vid, Really Helped alot on my 05 dodge dak. What size is that spark
plug socket?
I noticed that the intake box had a clamp where it connects to the throttle
body, my 04 4.7 Dakota didn’t have that and neither did my brother’s which
is the same exact truck and motor I have. I just discovered your video and
I had already changed the plugs on my motor a month ago. I went with NGK
V-Power and compared to the worn out factory Champion plugs, the NGK’s made
the motor run absolutely smooth! You cant feel it running lol. How have
those Autolite plugs been treatin ya?
@wishiniwasfishin27 – Yeah, I realized that after I had done that. I
appreciate the tips (constructive criticism only makes my life easier in
the long run!), so if you have any more, please share them! Thanks for the
kudos as well! I actually have a budget boost lift video that I will be
posting up later tonight, so keep an eye out!
Thanks! I love this Jeep, but really miss being able to drop the top on my
CJ7….
Thanks for the video, it gave me the confidence I needed to complete it.
The back plugs were tricky but I did it successfully.
I miss the old V8s where it was simple! I just picked up my grand cherokee
a few weeks ago went to go do a tune up lol looked for the plugs and I was
lost! Thnx for the video helped me out so much! Is there a cap and rotor on
this motor and if so where? I like to do my own wrenching but these newer
engines unless you have schooling there a pain to figure out! Thnx again
for your help!
Thanks man – it’s all about investing in the tools right off the bat (money
you would have spent paying someone else to do it, then you have them for
life). The hard part is just motivating yourself to do it. If you can, get
a Full Service Manual online (can usually get them for free off of forums)
or a Chilton/Haynes manual and it will walk you through step by step with
all the correct torque settings….
I try and help all my friends and people in the most polite and dignified
way possible. We all can learn and grow from the help given to one another.
I think it is brave and good for you to do these movies, encouraging others.
@MaximD9 no cap and rotor in case you hadnt gotten an answer (i realise
this was a year ago), it’s got the coil packs instead
thank thank thank
You will find as i did on the last plug that is much easier to remove the
piece between the coil pack wiring and the plug if you disconnect the
wiring connection first instead of pulling out of head connected, great vid
keep postin!!
Hey bud I was wondering if by any chance possible you would be able to help
me… I have seen all ur videos pertaining to my 06 grand cherokee 3.7.. My
thermostat is going out and I need to know where it’s located.. Would there
be any way possible you could send me either a pic of where of where it is
located I let me know if it’s hard to do or would I have to go to a
mechanic.. Most of the stuff I have done to my Jeep I’ve gotten insight
from ur uploads. Email me walttaylor05@gmail.com. Thanx!
This is actually the first car I’ve had where I haven’t changed mine out.
Guess I should get to it! 😀
i came by for the halftime show!!! lol good video brotha
My Jeep hood struts are gone too. I’m gonna get me a redneck tool like
yours! Great video, I’ve had my v8 for a couple of months, its my second
Jeep and I’d love to learn more stuff like this
Thanks. My wife’s jeep is due for this, and seeing your video makes me a
bit more confident in getting it done. Thanks for your great videos!!!
How did I miss this one? Everybody loves spark plugs except those of us who
don’t! Sweet! Coil on Plug boots, it was good you mentioned to inspect them
carefully, indeed, on some engines, failures of both the boots and the
coils is common. The Ford 4.6 is certainly one of them. The high
temperatures and lean running conditions mandated by emissions standards
all add up. Good movie here!
Great video it helped a lot
Dude become a mechanic lol!(POOT)
what are your thoughts on the E3 Spark Plugs, also, is this the same
process for a 2004 Grand Limited 4.7??
Rather just pay
We have to replace ours on our jeep and most if not all of the spark plug
caps are extremely difficult to pull out. What can i do?
@Rebel9700 A nutdriver does a better job on those clamps.
You are awesome!!! The shop wants $300 to do this? Insane. Thank u for this*
You didnt blow out the plug hole before removing the plug!.. can you say
debris! now in the engine
Thanks man. Used this today.
@dnl5649 – Everyone has to start somewhere when learning to wrench, and
this is probably one of the easiest things to start off with when learning.
I’ve built a couple of old CJ7’s from the ground up, but just dont have any
project vehicles right now to film, so daily maintenance vids it is for
now. Hopefully next year I will have enough cocheese for a more fun project
to record…
@Rebel9700 – You are correct – sorry about that!
i got a k&n air flow in my truck
Thanks for the props!
What do you do when your coil packs are stuck?
You did that tune up like a pro.
Exactly – tools are such a great investment. Those sockets aren’t very
expensive and well worth their weight in gold!
Finally a video on changing the plugs on a 4.7. I have an 01 Dakota with a
4.7 in it and this is pretty much the same with mine. Ill definitely use
this to help me with changing mine. Tho I don’t like how they used plastic
caps to cover the spark plugs
Thank you for taking the time. Just finished in an hour and half, saved a
buck fifty.
Thanks Howie! I don’t know near as much as you do, but I just hope I am
helping out with what little knowledge I have to all the newbs out there.
Once they realize that it isn’t that bad to work on your car, the better!
halftime lol
