I just replaced mine. Fortunately, it wasn't leaking into the harness but it pegged by oil pressure at 99 #. I replaced it along with the oil temp sensor. I also fund a cracked lower intake so I updated my lower intake to 17+ as well as 8 hole injectors. Runs great. I have never seen a oil leak into the harness before though.

Still doing these? I'd be interested

I believe it if it was mishimoto. their stuff sounds like the most amazing concept for jeep jks . they answer viable needs in a niche jeep performance sector for models which there aren't a lot of solutions out for ( oil senders, coolers, radiators, fans, caps, etc.) so garner business; the thing they fail so repeatedly miserably at is execution. everything , everything they make develops a fault somewhere down the short road. I admin'ed a forum for Jeep JKs for 10 yrs - trust me, I have heard so many failures of Mishimoto parts) . I actually have their silcon radiator hoses on my 3.8l and from the fist mile have had a folded shop towel under the neck of the upper radiator which seeps occasionally

Nice update JSS (keep the videos coming)… At first glance, you would think… Oh Wow, an Aluminum Oil Cooler! That would be Awesome… But very rarely is it the Housing that Leaks. It’s the O-Rings that have gone bad. And the Aluminum is a terrible at Heat Soak, and will run Hotter, and stay Hotter longer than the Plastic Factory one. And I had seen this before, and it’s hard to believe that the Oil could run through the actual wires… But it can, and does 🤔

Mopar sending unit only. And o-rings for the 14+ only. Felpro or mopar.

Had the same problem with the 3.8 oil sending unit. But lucky caught it before any major issues since it throw a check engine light.

What year GC shifter are you using?

Aww sh*t...don't tell me that!!! Lol I literally just installed that same Mishimoto oil cooler like a week ago. But I did tighten the sensor a bit because I didn't feel like it was tight enough when it was sent. It was sticking out a but more than the stock one I took out. So I tightened it until the threads showing were about the same as the old stock one. How many miles did that customer go before he noticed the leak?

Now that I’ve replaced half a dozen or more and worked at a shop seeing others do them. The metal oil filter housing has the sensor already in it when you buy it. I personally have a 15 jk and last housing I did was metal I tightened the oil pressure sensor a good 3/4 to full turn before it was Tight I think maybe some leave the factory not completely tight and unchecked maybe?

A local shop in OKC saw a similar problem with a GM v8 swap .A oil press sensor allowed oil to be sent through the connector into the harness …

Junk

Yeah...best to use the actual Dorman oil coiler with Mopar sending units. This customer tried to go cheap and paid the price.

The challenger shifter is not exactly perpendicular to the centerline of the vehicle. It’s cocked a bit to the clockwise rotation. That bugs the crap out of me. Thanks for all your hard work on these videos. So much information and you save all of us garage wrenches a lot of time and money.

Why didn’t the JL/JT shift body work? What if I pulled the whole Tranny and shifter out of a JL and bolted it up. What was wrong with the shift body?

Love the swap planning on doing the same thing ? What wiring harness did you use like what company if you don’t mind ?

Hi, do you have these custom LPE controllers in stock? Looking to buy one for my Jeep build and need to confirm before I place an order. Thanks.

That shroud looks sturdy as hell. Great work!

You both are the best! - Jed

Nice video. When I bought UD60s for my JK I was stuck deciding between 4.88 and 5.38 gears. I went 5.38 to support running up to a 40in tire in the future and didn't have plans for an engine swap. Currently running a 38in Nitto. When I had to make that decision your 8 speed swap wasn't out yet and had it been I would've gone 4.88 and then done the 8 speed. If I ever have to change the gearing I will go higher (numerically lower) to 4.88s and then can set sights on doing the 8 speed swap. From what I gathered following you these past few years, the Jk 3.6 with the 8 speed and 5.38s would not be good combo or at least would not be much better than what I already have. The 5 speed NAG1 w/ 5.38s makes using the jeep for daily tasks a less than ideal experience as it is.

Awesome find

This is why I love Jeep speed shop

I have seen that a couple of times. When i saw it the insulation had got really wet, dropped down, and did the same thing. Jeep should really just cut that area out on the pattern to avoid that. Either way, great info and I really need to get ahold of you guys and get your kit for the 8-speed swap, lol.

I haven't had that hood insulation since I bought my Jeep with about 50,000 miles on it. I guess the previous owner or a shop had removed it.

Simple fix. It's awesome to see you all were honest about the problem and didn't just take the customers money. 👍👍

It's not the fenders that causes that. I've seen that happen many times with the factory fenders. There has been about a half if dozen Jeeeps that I've just cut that part of insulation to fix that problem in the pass.

That is sooooo much better looking.

Thanks Tod do you finance

What gears do you recommend for a 40 inch tires and the 8 speed

I ended up using the Challenger shift assembly with the JL knob and it works like a champ. It's a little bit lower but it doesn't bother me and looks fine. If it were a manual, that would be a different story but as an automatic shifter, it works good and looks fine.

Need more vids on 8spd with 4spd atlas setup.

Really clean looking Todd good job on that insetting the shifter indicator module looks clean

Is this something that will currently work with the 8spd or hemi/8spd swap kits or something that will need some work to later become an option?

Looks pretty good

I'm running a dana 35 with 58" Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires. What ring and pinion ratio do you suggest?

I get this, the challenger shifter is actually very nice, it’s just but ugly and odd looking in a JK.

I did the Challenger shifter with a HURST handle and a new boot with a gear indicator pod...!

I would just stick to what works the best Go with the challenger/charger shifter and just do the Barton Pistol grip conversion It still keeps the stock shifter head, but it hides inside the boot

Thank you for the explanation. Now I know why the shop that did my gears gave me a 3 year 36k mile warranty on parts and labor for 4.88 gears, and said if I went over 5 then it would only be 12 months and 12k miles.

i have been messing with the same, I have a grand cherokee shifter like you waiting on the bench, but it needs different pcs programming indeed. Do you have the flash already?

2013 ram 1500 4x4, Looking to get rid of my 6Speed RFE. Would I be able to use my stock ram 1500 Column shifter for the 8speed? && would I be able to “plug and play” with a different rams 8speed of the same year ?

Would an 8HP70 from a 2020 Dodge Durango work? It is AWD

I wonder if gun drilled axle shafts would help reduce shock load on the ring and pinion?

Yep, I just finished replacing the ring and pinion in my D 44. I went with 5.13 again but when I do a ,one ton setup I'll stick with 488. Last set didn't even last a year . 40" tires 15.5 wide 750 crank HP. Tho the pinion might not have been set up correctly the first time. Great advice.

$$$if sold ???

This is pretty cool actually

how do i just buy the harness and computer

how much for a swap i need shifter and all srt8 300

I get it, the charger shifter is nice and it says what gear on the handle. I don’t understand the thought process. This is for a jeep, you don’t want circuit boards. Cables and simplicity is what you want in a jeep. How well do charger shifters hold up to water? It’s easy to get the floor inside a little wet. Cables don’t mind that, circuit boards don’t

What is the difference in the truck 8 speed vs. the 8 speed in my wife's JT Gladiator? I was looking for the late model Jeep 8 speed for ease of installation in my 17 JK. I was hoping I could use the JT shifter as well? If the truck tranny is better then I will look for one of those. Not sold on the looks of the charger shifter. My OCD locks up when I see it not completely perpendicular to the drive line...lol. Thanks for all your awesome videos.

Is it possible to just swap the whole console to get the Jeep knob with the console indicator lights?
