As an owner of a gen3, gen4, and gen5 v8 engine, I can say without a doubt the gen5 is the best. So much more power, fuel economy and refinement. They’re all great but gen5 for the win.
Have a Motech LT1 6.2L with 10 speed on 1tons & 40" tires. Love the power. Although with all the power keeping it around 65mph on flat ground it runs smoothly at 1600rpm's, 80mph around 2000rpm. So much different driving experience!
i purchased a 2024 JL style replica grill that fits the JK. Works VERY well. Still have the plastic OE ductwork and the MOTECH upper radiator cover too. This grill is much more open & less restrictive than the stock JK; looks new and stock. Ive seen a few degrees improvement in coolant temps going up hill, AC on, in hot AZ desert conditions.
Great video! What V8s do you offer that a 6 speed manual will work with? If the new inline 6 Hurricane doesn’t offer a 6 speed manual in the wrangler, I’ll never buy another Jeep again. I’ll keep my JKU and stuff a v8 in it to work with my 6 speed manual. Instead of buying a new Jeep, I’ll just spend that money on my old JKU hard rock.
‘ Excellent channel. ‘ Curious to learn if your team has ever executed a GM L8T 6.6L ( non-turbo ) engine refit. It seems that such an engine paired w / a 10-speed would be perfect for overlander rigs equipped w / 37s & upsized axles. Thanks, for your consideration.
So, you're able to adjust the pressure and shift timing by changing the value of the gear ratio in HP Tuners without actually changing the gears? I wonder if that works in a GM vehicle or presumably the speedo would be way off.
If I had only known of MoTech a year ago before buying a new Jeep. Just take my money. I am sold on your amazing conversions and well thought out work. 3 years after this video came out and wondering if you have moved forward with a module for newer Jeeps yet or ever plan to?
Very helpful thank you. Been having problems with wobble and so far have replaced everything (some things twice) and just pressed on teraflex ball joints as a last ditch effort. If it doesn’t help I’m worried if using the tape measure to adjust my track bar wasn’t precise enough. But in the end it seemed like there were only two options at 180 degrees putting it about 1/8”off in one direction or 1/4” off the other direction
Question. With the late model 8L90 you mention needing the T87a TCM. What ECM are you runnning? Will the T87a TCM program to an earlier model ECM (GM Sierra 2016 for instance)?
@16:05 you point to the "Mass Air Flow Sensor" but that is not the sensor, that is the intake air temperature sensor. The actual MAF sensor is a small wire inside the body at the top of the tube. This is important because someone might watch your video and use a MAF cleaner on the temp sensor and not clean the actual MAF and thus not resolve their problem.
