Customer States: Engine barely runs and has a severe lack of power. It also has the occasional no start or long cranking before it starts. So far I've found vacuum leaks, clogged ports, antifreeze leaks from the water pump and the electric fan is damaged. I had the fuel pump, filter, spark plugs, ignition wires, and a distributor cap and rotor. It also has a new coolant temp sensor, O2 sensor, MAP, intake temp, IAC and throttle position sensor replaced. The ECM / PCM has been replaced too. See part one.

PASSENGER SIDE SEAL: Yes, you DO have to remove the locker in order to service the seal, but it's actually super easy (barely an inconvenience) because once you get in there, you just use the same seal driver you did on the driver side.

I thought those plastic caps on the drag link were supposed to come off before installation, they were only on for protection during shipping that's why the threads didn't protrude the castle nut, and the cotter pin didn't fit.

@jimlaredo87 Год назад

That piece on the axle is called the “center axle disconnect” it is just a vacuum diaphragm that slides that ring over to lock the two half shafts together when you shift into 4 wheel drive. It’s very simple to remove/replace. There’s just a gasket behind that plate with the 4 bolts. The seal is in the axle tube there because that ring and fork need gear oil from the differential to stay lubricated.

@mattstephens8887 Год назад

Michigan here - had a 2003 Highlander that needed suspension work. I spent 5 hours beating heating and impacting. Family member came over with his mobile semi repair truck and broke out some giant tools (and he’s like 6 foot 7 so automatically a lot more force there than me). Dude put the longest breaker bar I’ve ever seen and was lifting himself off the ground trying to break something loose. It never did get replaced. We sold that Highlander like a week later disclosing the suspension issue we couldn’t fix. The guy pulled the engine and trans and whatnot and scrapped the vehicle. Because he couldn’t get it apart either….

@unavailablenumbers Год назад

Hey Ray, that's not a 4WD 'locker,' that's the front axle disconnect. You'll want to go back in there. It's less agonizing than you think. Four bolts, gives you a big window, just pull the solenoid and the engagement arm as a single unit (easy with the axle out,) pop the seal in same as you did in the diff, add some RTV or gasket tack to the crappy cork, and you're done. It has to be done outer halfshaft out though because you need the halfshaft ring out to do the seal. You DEFINITELY want to get in there because it's a major failure point on these. The cork gasket (JUNK) loves to leak, letting water in, and the oil seal is on the OUTSIDE of the disconnect. So those leaks get into the shiny new diff. Not good! Denny's Driveshaft has you covered. Replace the pads (621059 "clip for shift fork",) both E-clips (620979 and 621097,) and the oil seal (you may have the wrong one - there's an 84-86 and an 87-94.) Costs about $10. For everything. Those E-clips are very important because they ARE single use. But again: add gasket tack or RTV to the cork gasket! Super light because it serves a spacing function, but also it loves to leak. This owner clearly loves to offroad and mud it, and that's the big weak point in the front axle for water intrusion. Be super careful with the diaphragm though - that's a $160+ kit if you need to replace it! As folks have mentioned, there's a special tool for that seal. Pfft, screw that. Grab yourself something like a wobbly C-clamp, some flat metal, and you can do the math. ;)

I used a piece of all thread and "machined" out a tool with a chunk of 1/4" metal. run the allthread thru the metal install tool out to the end of the axle and drew it in. Took longer to grind down the metal to make the tool than it did to install.

It has another 2 grand in parts just to make it reliable (rock auto prices).

If you do much bearing work, a fry daddy with synthetic oil in it (higher scorch point) works well to heat up the bearings to slide onto shafts without setting up a press every time. I also made long punches out of rebar which is softer than puppy poop and has the grippy stripes on the outside for oily hands. It's cheap enough to bend as you need it to go around corners.

@W3BZSL1NG3R Год назад

It's kinda like a bicycle or motor cycle. A bigger rear sprocket with increase low end torque and less top speed. While a smaller rear sprocket will give you a faster top speed but less low end grunt/pull/Torque. Usually 1 tooth = 5mph +/- Opposite with front sprocket and each tooth = 2 teeth aka 10mph. I always go smaller on the rear for more top speed. Because most motorcycles, ATV's have enough low end pull, to move/take off well.. Hope this helps in a way. Cya, W3BZ 🤟😁👍

@W3BZSL1NG3R Год назад

And a taller tire will take more torque and distance to make 1 rotation. So a lower gear ratio would help take off acceleration/ torque

Here's a little tip I'm sure you know and forgot: if you twist a fastener backwards you can feel where the threads line up and avoid stripping stuff. That's what you need to do with plastic screws, it might help on some car parts too.

Rule to live by #72: If it has moving parts or you plan on using it more than once, don't buy it from Harbor Freight.

Don’t you need limited slip additive along with oil in the diffs??

@TXAG81 Год назад

Not if you use gear oil with the LS additive already in there.

@peterwill3699 Год назад

@Charles Bondy It would cost a fortune for 5 gallons of that,if they make it.The additive cost 12.00 dollars a pint.

Was that plastic cap supposed to be left on the Pittman arm ball joint at 49:28?, as the plastic cap wears and falls apart won't it cut up the rubber boot beneath it?

The caliper would fit a lot easier if you clean the rust off the edge of the disk. A damper is what you fitted, a dampener is a device to make things damp.

@@terryhayward7905 it's actually 99% of the time cultural misuse. Oxford and American dictionaries both use the same definition. That IS the proper term and to call it anything else makes you incorrect. America is really bad about that kind of thing. Somehow a word misuse grows in popularity and sticks around, people just accept it and never question it.

@hot_wheelz Год назад

Hey Ray, I know that others have mentioned it in both this video and previous Project Jeep videos but have you remembered to change the speedo gear yet to match the new diff gearing and larger wheels / tyres?

@outseeker Год назад

idk the maths but isn't that why you change the gear ratio after adding several inches to the wheels? or that only made it worse?

@hot_wheelz Год назад

@@outseeker no, he changed the diff gear ratio to allow for aftermarket limited slip diff.. The speedo gear is a different issue and at least based on what we've seen in the videos has yet to be addressed.

@InsanePacoTaco Год назад

How does that work anyways? Something driven off the transmission output shaft with a changeable gearing set somewhere closer to the speedometer?

@mrray55 Год назад

@@hot_wheelz changing the ratio in the diff will in turn change the rotation of the output shaft of the transmission in turn changing the speedo reading. He only needs to change the gear for the speedo if he didn't calculate for the rotational change to the wheel size. If he was leaving the stock tire size then the speedo would be off with the gear change.

@eaglerider1826 Год назад

Back in the 70's , whenever we got a speeding ticket we would change the speedo gear then take it to my buddy's shop who would certify that the speedometer was off . Take the certification to court and have the speeding ticket changed to improper equipment charge which was half the fine and no points on your driving record .

Don't blame the tool when you use it incorrectly, the Harbour Freight would have worked had you used the correct pivot hole (the lower one). I face palmed the moment you started tuning it.

@williameldridge9382 Год назад

He didn't use it incorrectly. Even if he had used a different pivot hole it wouldn't have worked, it was bending. It shouldn't be bending. Using the other pivot hole would simply have caused it to bend sooner. Harbor freight tools are made from junk materials.

@miceinoz1181 Год назад

Two suggestions from my experience. It is often easier to remove the pitman arm from the steering box if you need to remove all the linkage. Much better access for a puller. Secondly, when you use those horrible things that load the top of the ball joint/steering end, once you load it some, give the tapered fitting a bit of hammer (as you did with the LH outer tie rod end). It generally falls out due to the load from the tool. Bet your HF puller would not have broken that way. This has worked well for me over the last 53 years.
