Sup Fam! Top 5 mods for any vehicle: 1)Window tinting including windshield 2) Interior light change to LED. 3) All weather mates 4) Exterior accent change i.e wrap, paint or chrome delete if applicable 5) Rim/tire package Currently on my Jeep SRT All of the above mentioned item plus lowering kit, custom exhaust, color changing LED headlights and SRT badge.
For me the first few things I have to do its window and taillight tints, followed by swapping out all the factory speakers and radio. Now with the 2015 JGC I just got I have no choice but to keep the 8.4 Uconnect. But I plan on getting a Pac Audio Adapter to get the out puts to my amps. I like to try and get a lowering kit. Which is why I'm glad you made this video gave me some new ideas. And lastly I like to get wheels but that's last thing on my list unless I get them for a good deal. Those factory spider monkeys you had. If I had paid attention more to the page I would have jump on them!!
Window tint is first thing I do. I prefer dark tint so always do 5% all around even over vehicles with rear privacy glass and also full windshield 70%. Love the videos Ron.
Definitely good tips. I don't have a SRT but do have a dash cam with battery hardwired. I would like to add from your suggestions to have some counter measure device like a radar/laser detector. Awesome videos and Happy New Year!
For my SRT GC it will be lowering springs, 22” wheels, ppf and ceramic coating, tinted windows (absolute must here in fl) weather tech floor mats and cargo mat
Have the 5.7 and it was Corsa exhaust, car tracker with fuel cut off {Secure 1st), cold air intake, & dyno tune. Thanks for the Carlock tip, be a good back up
#1: window tints #2: headers, pipes, exhaust #3: paint protection #4: Catch Can #5: SRT grille light badge #6: remove "grand cherokee" from the doors #7: Dashcam #8: Radar System #9: Rims #10 Lowering Springs #11: AFE air intake (i tried to do a top 10 and failed)
So many mods I havnt heard changing stock spark plugs to uridium when changing exhaust pipes muffler cold air intake throttle body spacer why stop there changes to larger intake manifold . Try the diablo tune very nice results! pedal commander is a mind blower must do. High performance Radiator and fan and loose the engine cover they make a scoop hood yes it gets pricey especially when you talk about rims and tires not to mention 4.5 " lift combo with oldman emu and rough country and OEM leveling kits . Some one mentioned limo tinting full al around go get exemption letter for your state and hopefully your is 4x4 get a curved 50" lightbar if you want more light do it body armor skid plates oil pan rear and front there is no top 5 but if there was would be 1) Diablo Tune 2) pedal commander 3) cold air intake with throttle body spacer 4) rear axle upgrade change muffler something 5) esthetics such as led headlights, 20% tint, wheels light bar. Figure on dropping 5k minimum for my top 5
I'm super different then everyone won't see another one like mine........99.9% Stock ..... have catch can only❤😊 and don't race it .........well sometimes mild pull from a light......lol 😊 2016 jeep grand cherokee srt.
All great suggestions. I plan to do all that when I pick up my srt. Just wondering how exhaust, wheels, lowering springs will affect the factory warranty or maxcare warranty I plan on purchasing.
Don't have one yet. But one thing I do with any car I own is a window tint. I hate having that glare from the sunlight in the car. Love your videos man. Hopefully I get to meet you at cecil one day. When I get mine
2 years later but the catch can reasoning is because the PCV system is usually a legal requirement for emissions. A catch can generally circumvents this system.
Incorrect. It doesn’t circumvent the system. Rather than forcing that oil back into the intake to be burned off it’s collected in the can. It’s not maliciously stealing oil from the system. It’s preventing it from ruining your engine over time. Oil isn’t meant to be burned off like that. The reason the EPA mandated that system was due to engine designs of yesteryear having drip lines to get rid of that oil blow by. It would drop onto the ground. Sadly that was before people realized oil getting into the soil seeps into the ground water contaminating it. Catch cans solve this problem and prolong the life of the motor with this high tech “drip line” to get rid of that gunk
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Nah I agree with what you're saying but the PCV system is in place to help divert gases back into the combustion chamber from the crank case, The PCV system itself is there as a requirement for emissions standards. Catching the oil is definitely a good idea.
@@tomh894 I just explained that. I just told you WHY it’s there, and why a catch can is important. Engines weren’t designed to have oil shot back into the intake manifold. The EPA forced engine designers to do that because oil dripping from the old drip lines fouled ground water. Has zero to do with emissions. Use Google to look up the history of this design. They didn’t do this to help emissions
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Combustion gases being vented into the atmosphere is why they designed the PCV system. And a catch can with a breather vents these gases back into the atmosphere (yes not all have breathers). Oil dripping onto the ground is polluting as well, sure. I understand and agree with that part. However in many countries that have EPA/Environmental standards when it comes to vehicle emissions, bypassing a manufacturers system to manage those gases could technically be labelled defective by police or an EPA officer, if you come across a highway patrol officer here in Australia that woke up on the wrong side of the bed you could be stung for it. Same way a DPF filtration or Adblue system on diesels not working properly is looked at. Anyway aside from that dude lol, i enjoy your content, thanks for replying.
THANKYOU!!! Death to the automatic bonheaded notion of aftermarket wheel being heavier. People love to talk with no knowledge nor research and it's silly
I dare you to put your SRT or Trackhawk against my Laredo with the first generation stock, unmodified 3.6L Pentastar with the leaking oil cooler assembly and the 17 inch wheels, I DARE YOU 😝😀😃
First off, love the vid's. I don't agree with you on oil causing carbon. Oils are made with additives to prevent carbon build up. So if you have direct injection motor and you install a catch can you will have more carbon build up on the top of the valves. They have done many studies on this and found that motors last longer with a little oil running through them. Lubricating valves and cylinder walls is never a bad thing. The catch can will improve performance but will not increase longevity of the motor.
What "studies"? There is not one study that agrees redirecting oil back into your intake manifold to be burned off is a good idea. There are studies and evidence to prove that carbon deposits still build up due to the closed EPA mandated PCV System. Many articles agree on this. www.motor.com/magazine-summary/carbon-deposits-cleaning-up-whats-left-behind/ www.knowyourparts.com/technical-resources/engine/how-to-prevent-engine-deposits/ Just Google the problem and practically every article or tech page is pointing to carbon deposits that have built up from being redirected into the intake manifold, and in our case, having a high compression engine, we get more of it than other types of engines. repairpal.com/loss-of-power-due-to-oil-and-carbon-build-up-in-intake-manifold-432 Seriously take the time to click these links and read them. You can disagree with me, but the evidence is overwhelming, blog.wiseco.com/common-causes-of-blowby-and-oil-consumption
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Sorry o get involved in yours battle… 😌 I have a question about, Do I need to install - Catch can to my 2015 3.0L diesel engine Jeep Grand Cherokee? Thank You.
@@RazorSharp163 No man lol.. I meant if fuel is your concern, sell your car and buy a V6 model. You should only use premium and nothing else. If you bought an SRT, is the extra $8 per fill really going to put you out on the street?
Well coming back to update my reply , found my track hawk ... mods done so far , oil catch can , cold air intake , pulley and a tune , exhaust. Not sure what I’m going to do next , but I’m thinking a set of wheels and suspension. I’m not sure how it’s going to be in 2 feet of snow but I’ll find out.
Forgive my ignorance related to vehicle mods, other than sound, are there any benefits from adding an after market exhaust? I just got the 2020 Trailhawk yesterday.
Hey Ron, My name is Scott, and I'm new to your channel. Very cool and great info!! Two Questions, I've got an '18 GC SRT and I'm also thinking about lowering the truck as well. Did you just put the new springs on back, or in front too. And also, is there a certain height that you recommend? Want to get that look but don't want to sacrifice ride quality. I know you mentioned it wasn't really an issue, but just wanted to check. Thanks much!!!
Scott Lang You’ll want to get a set of Eibach Pro springs. The kit comes with front and rear. You won’t need anything else and the drop should be 1” in the front and 1.5” in the rear. You won’t even notice a difference in ride quality. Joe Solismo at solisracinggroup.com can hook you up. That’s what I had on my SRT and will be putting on the TH
So I've only got a Grand Cherokee with the 5.7L Hemi. Just wondering what you opinion would be on adding a oil catch can? Do you think it would beneficial?
Yes, It's a cheap "mod" that will help prevent blowby gasses from being redirected back into your intake manifold. The 5.7L is still a high compression engine, sO my answer would be yes.
Can you link to the catch can? And to the people you used for ceramic coating? Just got a Trackhawk I’m definitely gonna wanna do those two things when I get mine
I will have to jump on the "bandwagon " TINT !!!! lol , I want to get my taillights tinted a nd rear fog light kit …….does your " support team " work on Sundays ? I'll be in AC in a couple weeks, my daughter has a cheerleading competition first weekend in Feb ( 2/1-2/3 )
Hey Ron do you have tints on your SRT/Trackhawk? If so what percent all around and was your windshield tinted? If so did the dashcam have any difficulty recording through tint
Has anyone ever provide a full video review of the functionalities of the JEEP SRT. For example, audio, navigation, engine, steering (driving in straight-line), body inspection, memory settings, wipers, and etc. I have completed some research, and I have never seen so many SRT for resale (Whether JEEP or Dodge). I did made some phone calls to sellers, and did get some feedbacks regarding functionality issues. Let me know what you think. From what I understand, these are all BAILOUT vehicles. Safety is a concern.
This is a Trackhawk, but as far as that in-depth I don’t think there’s anyone doing one for any car that in-depth. Reason is that each vehicle has so many variations in options. You can’t compare all audio when they offer different options for audio.
This is a late comment but that’s also why I’m posting it because the original comment is so stupid I felt compelled to simply say that, “the original comment is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard here.”
I had the SRT Procbarged and tuned, yes. Had it done at HHP (High Horse Performance). They also did the Trackhawk and are building me a complete short block next month.
Maybe they're good tips, but for GOD SAKES!, cut the chitty chat and get to the point. This could have been a 5 min video instead of 21 mins. I couldn't make it past halfway through mod#3. I was looking for your mod suggestions, not a comedy act 😩
Andrew_Dudinetz Since we’re talking about a Trackhawk and not a Wrangler. That’s the gayest thing anyone’s even suggested for a Trackhawk. A little lift? Why not throw in a bag of dicks and plan a camping trip to Brokeback Mountain? You don’t lift an SRT or a Trackhawk my friend.
