Awesome video, thanks posting!

I am just checking on this.. did you get it fixed?

Thank you........finally somone who can intelligently explain each process step by step for installing OPDA.. Your Speaking clearly sure helps! Thanks again.

Great video. However I would highly recommend NOT REMOVING the pin from the new unit, as removing the pin allows the unit to spin freely if it turns there goes the timing..... just use a small screw driver or punch to line up the hole in the old one. that pin is designed to be left in the new Oil Pump Drive Assembly then when you start the engine for the first time it simply sheers the lil plastic pin off. they are designed to do this. Secondly you should remove the original camshaft position sensor from the old Oil Pump Drive Assembly and put in the new Oil Pump Drive Assembly, for some reason the new camshaft position sensors that are coming with the new units are prone to failure.. Good luck my fellow Jeepers

Thank you!

I finally got around to doing this to mine today. I have had the part for sometime. I was really wanting to take it somewhere and have it done, but after watching your video and a few others, I did this on my own with my son. It took us about an hour, and it all went pretty well. I was so extra nervous and cautious about lining up the pin. We checked and checked, and checked it again. There's a little play in the original device, and we wanted to make sure that the max and min in the play was right in the middle. The other hard thing was trying to figure out for sure which direction to turn the motor to get the pin holes to line up, but we figured it out. Why there did an oil change and it's sounding great and there are not CEL issues, as of yet. Drove it for about an hour after and no issues. Thanks for the great video on this it was very helpful, and surely saved me a few hundred $$ by doing it with myself, and some good tool-time with my son.

Saw them at Georgia Theatre in Athens...

BY FAR the best OPDA video on RUclips. Excellent explanation(s) and video shots. Also love the fact (and I'm very jealous) that you've got a RHD. 👍

I did exactly what was done here and the pin seemed to move clockwise about 1hr position. It appears that I am still ok, I think because it would fit only there or 180 reverse of that. If I try to cloch it 1 hr back it will not seat the shaft down properly. Am I correct in assuming I am ok?

Perfect for what I needed , Thank you !

Nice video. Appreciate the step by step. A number of people are having trouble after install....it seems because the new one was more than the 2% or so off in alignment from the prior odpa.....I wonder if it is bc they are not using the plastic rod to align prior to removal.

Thanks for initially showing what it sounds like when bad. I have heard a lot about it....but never heard before. Got it now 😉

somehow I lost tdc

Replace the old OPDA with a Crown Automotive unit, P/N: 53010624AC and use the OEM Mopar sensor. Do not use the Crown sensor as it will throw codes. The Mopar sensor has numbers etched on the sensor face; the Crown sensor is blank.

God damn that thing sounds like shit fuck

Finally found a walkthrough of this. Thank you! One question.... are there any specific torque settings for the hold down bolt?

THE BOLT UNDER THE OPDA IS A 1/2" AND NOT 13MM AS HE SAID IN THE VIDEO. DO NOT USE A 13MM OR YOU WILL STRIP THE BOLT!!!

Did you have any check engine light on?? or why did you decided to change your opda??

Thank you for an elegant solution!

Perfect description, I’ll be doing mine over the weekend. Thanks

Thanks man, Im doing this today on two jeeps, replacing the 04-06 OPDA thats prone to failure, before it fails. Just checked in to make sure I had all my ducks in a row. Great video!

Just bought an 05 TJ, ~90K mi, with the same issue. I replaced the steering gear box and the problem is still there. What did you end up doing?

Thanks for the video - I do have to ask why you didn't show how you placed the plate and bolt that hold the unit in place. That one part was a PITA. And the 2006 bolt is a 1/2" bolt head. Very helpful

I have the same problem with my 04 LJ

Ever figure out the problem?

Thanks! Crown is in with the original sensor and runs great. Timing is perfect. Thanks for a clear video!

Any problems with the Crown?

Great video! Had mine out and the new one in, in about 40 minutes. The hardest part is getting the keeper bolt under the opda out and back in. Used my old cam sensor as I've read the new ones are garbage. Don't forget to pull the white plastic line up piece out once you've installed the new opda. If you leave the cap on you won't see it. I remembered, but I could see how you could easily forget it. Also, I used an open end wrench to turn the motor as it was easier to get on than a socket. Good luck, but it's an easy fix.

I just changed mine today after studying this video. It took about an hour to do it. The hardest part was reinstalling the keeper bracket and bolt due to access. A magnet on a telescoping shaft was a big help. I replaced the Crown Camshaft Positioning Sensor with a brand new Mopar sensor from the dealer, prior to installing the OPDA, so as not to experience the error codes. I did save my old sensor just in case. This is an excellent video.

Thank you for this video. Replaced mine in my 06 and has fixed all my issues! 😁

where are you located at...??...RHD...

should of just added air lift air bag kit for towing.. will solve rear sag and can add 5000 lbs of extra tow weight ... ultimate 5000 or load lifter 5000 call us it would have just bolted in not no stupid add a leaf spring pro-tech service 239-560-3498 www.autosuspensionfortmyers.com

Couple things.... The OPDA retaining bracket bolt is a 1/2 wrench, not a 13... A 13 will strip the corners. Second, you need to mention putting in the new gasket, or you end up with an oil leak....

how much sbacklash is allowable in the gear mesh? I easily have a quarter inch.

Fucking Legend, thank you!

Rope

I followed these directions step by step and it worked like a charm. Very informative video, thanks for posting.

Thank you very much for posting this video. Changed mine out on my 2006 LJ with no problems. My hold down bolt was a 1/2" as someone else mentioned.

the one installed in this video appears to be a factory unit, all the crowns Ive seen didnt have the yellow paint on the gear.

over all not bad a few details like the comments says.

Peppermint Beach Club Va Beach.... let me stage dive for birthday

The durango upgrade will work just need 02 brake hose and re mount the upper bolt.

Thanks for the vid! I'll be installing on Tuesday.

Use to see JQ every time they came to the Mad Monk and Purple Gator. Always stage dived. Good times!

is this a right hand drive???

Is the replacement a Crown unit or an OEM? Is this a permanent fix or ongoing worry. Have an '06 TJ that runs great, but if this is a band aid, I'm trading.

I screwed up, I turned the engine after I placed the new ODPA in, completely screwed the timing, how hard will it be to have a mechanic retime the Jeep on a 2006.

How much does your trailer weight? What type of truck do you have 2500, or 1500? It appears you need a weight distribution hitch. Your ball and hitch don't match the angle of your trailer. It still appears that the front of your truck is nose high with weight on. You shouldn't have anymore than 3/4 inch change all the way around. If your dialed in properly.

Is the video missing any steps? I am not a mechanic and reading all the positive comments I attempted to replace my ODPA following along with the steps in your video exactly. When I turned my crankshaft (clockwise) to line up the pin, it completely messed up the timing on my jeep and I ended up having to take it to a real mechanic. I'm not saying your method doesn't work, it didn't for me and just posting so others know.
