Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover? What About Judging A Jeep Engine By Its Looks! 

Hey man I find it hard to sit down and eat a meal without checking for a new upload on your channel. Best content out there man, you can always tell a good ole boy when you see one

You got to hit those lug nuts with a 20mm and a mallet harddddddd. The steel lugs fuse to the alloy. It’s called Galvanic Reaction. You need to break that before you try and turn the lug. I know it looks like it’s rusted to the stud but it isn’t. That’s why it snaps at the point that’s connected to the wheel.

Oh man, the two in a row rear lug freeze. Wild. I'm sure glad you have a liquid wrench. I dont know how tf i would even start to deal with a problem like that. Yikes.

Dex! The light blue Zj is rare af. You oughta build it up and make it nice lol

Dex keep the videos coming brother. Enjoy them all. Props to an Honest man.

Air Filter: I left the air filter off, and the front breather hose wide open my 1996 XJ 4.0, for years. All back to stock now. Can't see that it damaged anything. 379,000 miles.

"Man, It runs good!" Dex - 2024

You need to have one of your beat up rigs in the background.. and a caricature of you saying " man it runs good" haha... cracked me up Around the 32:44 mark.. No Jeep words in sight so you're good.

Some people don't understand how the cooling system works. I am a auto mechanic for 20 plus yrs and a big jeep guy and I have seen that same cooling tool used my self more times than I can ever count. It's a great tool too own,have and use! Great too use too bleed the air out of cooling system

I think someone took cut your fenders for more clearance too literally

the loader backfiring in reverse cracked me up 😆 great vid as always Jeep master Dex!

Awesome video Dex!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for your service to the Republic!

Another kickass video! Video idea for you : If your Jeep XJ doesnt start checklist/diagnostic procedure. Keep up the great work! '95 XJ

Knew nothing about cars besides they where explosion machines that turned that into movement until about 6 years ago. Bought a old zj straight 6 to make it up our gravel driveway in the winter months, I think I bought it for 600. Got hooked and the 4x4 bug bit me. Acquired 2 more zjs both 5.2s, sadly only one is in working condition, but it's been useful to have another vehicle to steal parts from and double check if everything looks the same. Slowly over time watching videos like these I've picked up small things that actually I remember out of no where when working on my jeep, or I remember just enough to google more about the problem and actually solve it.

I use an air lift and then the funnel like you have on everything including tesla , if you know you know. The air lift is necessary on EV and hybrids and the funnel is extra security

I dont think I have ever seen the 4wd linkage listed did not even think there was a market because the cable shifter is an upgrade in everyway

I have a wrangler 2.5 that has a oil pressure above 40 while driving but sumtimes drop to 20 at ideal and # 2 piston broke about 3 months ago but replaced the piston

What’s your opinion on recap tires ? Are they worth it ? I have a couple of rigs Jw and a Tj both daily but definitely not scared of scratches. I appreciate your hard works and efforts and mostly the wisdom and passion for Jeeps .

Yes. Had a 95 zj with 231 whatevertrac (not selectrac)

New floors look nice

been up just watching all these videos

Hey Dex, I have 2 ZJs that have 231js in them

Keep making these i hope it makes you enough to live off these videos are a public service

I traded a alienware laptop for a 99 jeep grand cherokee WJ with the 4.0 straight 6 and that mf is crusty, rusty,crashed, doors fcked up, tail lights busted. Literally looks like a derby vehicle but ya know why I traded? Because she RUNS! Almost 200k on it and there is absolutely no piston slap going on and she purrs like a new kitten 😂 But yeah everything else on it sucks💀

1st off let me say love the content you put out . 2nd what relay or fuses are you jumping to get it to start ? I find this very useful when a feller is working on it by himself.

Learn stuff from every one of your videos. Need more dog though in videos.

i have a 94 zj would a bad crank sensor make the asd and fuel relay tick like crazy

Hello, I have a 1999 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0. keeps blowing the p.c.m. would you think the coil pack or fuel pump.

Hopefully you will see this and give me some direction 1991 jeep xj 4.0 it stumbles and bucks when you floor it no check engine light I replaced the fuel pump and filter i put a mopar tps on it I bypassed the fuel pump resistor still no change I ordered a mopar cps havnt had time to swap it yet and the same time this started the speedo started being jumpie and off by 15 or 25 mph always over I don't think it's connected to the stumble/ bucking put I thought I would mention it

Dex i over filled my trans on my 93 Cherokee about half quart maybe little more..On phone trying to multi task..It was up to the curve on dipstick..Would that been a issue.. I pulled drain plug and got it back to top of hash mark..Just curious if half quart over would blows seals..Google says cavitation blow seal so on..Need put that wolf on chain gang.😂 ❤

Do you have any 05-06 jeep liberty’s with a good auto transmission? I was going to say it’s in reverse, noticed the second time you started it.

Hey Dex, you might be my only hope for a part I need for my 99 WJ. Rear Glass Hinges? Hopefully

Do you take on in-frame "refresh" work or only sell engines? Got a piston slap in my beloved ''01 XJ, presumed cracked piston, and would make the drive to have a 4.0 expert have at it.

I need a late model 4.0 block. Do you have one available and where are you located?

❤❤❤❤❤

Great Vid - and ‘them- there’ rims on the driver side is the besties - ahh the 4 Oh life . .

it takes a lot of effort to kill a 4.0 I bet the low oil pressure is probably a bad seal in the bottom end

How much is your transfer cases. I need a 242 for a 96 zj

Gone Fishing...

Why are we talking so much about lying this video? You ok man???

How in the heck do you start the jeeps from the fuse box?
