you prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Otis Clyde instablaster =)
@Ray Bryson thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ray Bryson it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Otis Clyde Happy to help :D
The comment section here is 90% ridiculous. Who cares if the radio is on? He's not trying for production value. He's just give step by step on how to put it 4 low and how to put it in 4wd neutral (so you can be towed and not have the drivelines turning). Pretty straight forward. Leaving the mistakes in is actually pretty informative. Shows what happens when you do it wrong.
Thank you for leaving the mistakes. That way if anyone else makes the same mistake it’s easily realized. Don’t concern yourself with the retake video guys. They obviously never take it upon themselves to learn new things.
Thank you young man great video on how to I'm buying an 05 this is most helpful. ☺
Thank god I just tried this AND IT WORK
Ty man I almost didn't make it to work
so you put the gear on N then pull the T to activate 4lo the out to D and drive?
Nice ... looks like a crd... where in Canada?
17 JGC trail hawk trans issues with jolts when shifting at gears 1/2/3. Live in Silver Spring MD and Took it to local dealer in October. They agreed is a power train issue at 35k miles. I’m pretty close to pass the warranty powertrain mark at 5yr/36k miles.
They gave my car back after 2 weeks stating they replaced a gasket. And still get jolts especially at higher gears now 4/5/6. Also noticed a leak under the car after it being parked assuming trans fluid because of the location of the leak. Took it back, they reopened the issue and it’s been 3 weeks with no update. Called yesterday they said they are still waiting for a valve body part. Right now I am concerned it getting across the warranty line and something major happening… fingers crossed one of two things happen. Value body replacement and no issues. Value body replacement and issues continue past the warranty and the dealer accepts faulty prior warranty deadline and they fix it for free 😐
You will have to talk to the service associate and make it clear that you want a permanent fix and not a bandaid fix to get you past the warranty period. You may need to talk to somebody at the national level...look on the forums to see how people have gotten this sort of issue resolved.
You should re-film this...
Yeah, he did not show how to shift the transfer case at all, just the dash reaction. At least I learned this can be flat towed.
@@BenjaminHansen Uh.. you pull the 4low "T" handle when its in neutral. Cmon guys, this isn't rocket science.
Please, how can I put it in neutral mode?
Great video, so that procedure to get the transfer case in N will live both axles full disconected, right?...so you can pull it with a truck with all four wheels down and a tow bar?.
That should be done in P or in N ?.
Thank you!
Shift transmission to neutral, shift transfer case to neutral, shift transmission back to park and set parking brake, hookup the Jeep to the tow vehicle then release the parking brake and you need to leave the ignition switch in the off, not locked position so that the front wheels can steer with the tow vehicle, leaving the ignition switch locked will cause damage to the steering wheel lock mechanism, plus cause excessive wear to the front tires as they won't be allowed to turn left or right as you go around corners and make other directional changes as you are towing it.
They must be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground following the instructions in the manual. If you want to use a dolly you have to remove the rear propeller shaft. The benefit of doing that is that you will have trailer brakes helping you.
Hello, my brother, I have a problem with a 2005 Jeep Cherokee. When it goes at 60, emergency mode appears, the gear sticks at 3, it says check engine, and when the engine is turned off, it returns to D. What is the solution and what is the problem?
So when I use my 4 wheel drive I can Feel & Hear the car shift, & it is loud. I was transporting some wood & when I made it to me distinction I seen that the handle was lift up some. I have haven’t use it in months & the light just came o on, why do u think it is so
It is possibly you had something hooked on the lever and accidentally shifted into 4lo. I would put it back in 4hi and see if it happens again.
Missed what you said due to your two way radio or scanner?
Im confused, what exactly are you trying to do? put it in N for towing? and what is the tiny pen button even for
Like a tow/recovery mode. Lets the tires spin freely without turning the drivelines.
Quadratrac 2 I have quadratrac one
Can someone help… what does it mean if the “n” is red next to the 4WD lever???? And how do you turn it off!
From what I have seen in other videos... shift trans into neutral... stick an ink pen down in the hole beside the N by the 4 wheel low lever... and hold it for 6 seconds. Your tranfer case has been shifted into neutral when light is on
Dude , why you got your scanner blaring ? LoL
Does the vehicle normally engage 4x4 when off road without putting it into 4 low
Hi Emma, all of the Jeep Grand Cherokees with the silver lever are full time 4wd and can not be put into 2wd.
Awesome information thanks so much! I just got a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 4.7, is yours the same?? We got it with 106,000 miles with detailed on time service history and just replaced all fluids, belts, water pumps and filters. Nothing wrong with it yet... I've heard even If you take really good care of them they still very unreliable... was that true for you?.
@@emmawideman2450 not true as long as you take care off it it will take care of you
@@emmawideman2450 I just walked away from an 05 Laredo, 180,000 on it and blue smoke coming from the exhaust. It's older than yours but same generation I think.
If you are a DIY'er the engine bay looks like a nightmare to work on. Hardly any room and a bunch of wires everywhere (which can be said about all new cars I guess). IMO you could sell it for a loss and get a 4runner or Tacoma with locking rear or center differentials, and Torsen limited slip differentials come standard. (LSD's for Jeeps are in the "quadratrac-II" system, in more expensive trims). This Laredo trim right here behaves more like an all wheel drive than a 4wd from what I've read. Just my 2 cents. That 05 also had oil leaks, valve covers and rear main. Hopefully those gaskets were replaced too.
When i shift into 4low i get a grinding noise every 8 seconds also when i put into manual mode would you know why??
So I have 06 grand Cherokee the neutral light is on on the transfer case but I can still shift just fine the light is on i admit not bright as in the video but in darker areas it can be seen, would you know the reason? Or how do I go about finding the problem?
The computers are pretty powerful on these jeeps. You could use a good scanner like Blue Driver to see if you have any codes. JeepForum is a good resource.
@@SteveRivett thank you I'll definitely try that
Did you find the problem? I have a 05 Limited and as i was driving home last night noticed the little red N illuminated. Car has been throwing check engine light on and off, not shifting well, shaking when accelerating/after shifting up to 2k RPM, and has some weird/faulty electrical issues. Not sure how long the red N has been on or how it even got shifted into that position. Only 134k miles on my truck but it has been nothing but problems for the past 5 years.
@@SteveRivett any ideas? :(
@@Mon-kv8tv no unfortunately I haven't
Can I wheel lift it, once I follow your steps to put the transmission on neutral?
I am not sure what you mean but you cannot tow these vehicles on a dolly. They need to have all 4 wheels on the ground or all 4 wheels off the ground.
@@SteveRivett ok thanks so well
Just remove rear driveshaft to tow on a dolly. Better have a propane torch handy though... to loosen the lock-tight those bolts have on em.
My Jeep is stuck on 4 wd I don’t have issues switching gears is this the same problem
These vehicles only have 4HI and 4LO.
I guess that's why that jewel is stuck in 4 wheel drive!! Lol!! Bwaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha.....
Im about to buy a 05 5.7 jeep grand cherokee. I take it these are full-time awd?
What is a "2008.5'" Grand Cherokee?
🤣
mine just says to service 4wd system when i try
could be a wheel speed sensor, or the actuator in one of the differentials. if you pull the fuse for the ELSD, cycle the jeep from P,R,N,D and reinstall the fuse it may help also
277k miles?
I have an 05 every time I try to put it in 4x4 it says service 4wd system any help please
You need to reset your codes using something like the Blue Driver I have listed in the video description. The "Fuse Trick" may also help. ruclips.net/video/-9-1MWzfbbE/видео.html
Big problem with Final Drive Module Control (FDMC) which has to be reprogrammed by Jeep. If they've already re-flashed it, then you likely have a problem with the transfer case actuator. I suggest you go to the Jeep Forum for the topic as this is a huge issue with jeeps....and likely expensive.
I'm not sure I'd be taking advice from someone having difficultuy shifting from 4L to 4H.
Do these Jeep’s come with 4 high?
From my understanding, they run on 4 high at all times like an AWD vehicle and there's no way to switch to 2WD.
@@stancetv2005 there’s a way just take the front drive shaft off duh 😂
With quadra-drive or quadra-trac there is no 2WD position, only 4-All Time 4WD, the vehicle is in 4WD all the time, but as far as what many think of as being 4 high, the transfer case has a clutch pack that variably sends power to the front axle depending on traction loss detection, it can send up to 100% of the power to the front axle if needed to maintain traction, where a regular part time 4WD system sends 50% to the front and 50% to the rear all the time regardless of traction. Selec-Trac and Command-Trac 4WD (not found in modern Grand Cherokees only 1st gen early model Grand Chorokees had the Command-Trac option, and only 1st and 2nd gen Grand Cherokees had the Selec-Trac option) both have 2WD, 4high, neutral and 4 Low modes....the Selec-Trac 4WD model adds a 4th position 4high full time, which can be left engaged year round regardless of traction conditions, the transfer case has an open center differential in 4 high full time mode allowing the front and rear axles to turn at different speeds allowing for being able to make sharp turns without causing any drive train binding that would occur with a part time 4WD system.
Quadra-Trac depending on the year of Jeep had 2 different transfer case designs, early models had a viscous coupler in the transfer case that transferred power to the front axle, and had a 48/52 torque split front/rear. Later models had a clutch pack which gave 100% power to the rear axle until traction loss (speed differences) was detected between the front and rear axles, then the clutch pack would variably lock up to transfer power to the front axle.
Quadra-Drive used the same transfer cases as Quadra-Trac but in the WJ Grand Cherokee (1999-2004) they had front and rear limited slip differentials, which in theory would keep the Jeep moving with only 1 wheel having traction. In 2005 and newer Grand Cherokees they no longer have a front limited slip differential but rely on the traction control and ABS to apply individual brakes to eliminate or reduce wheel spin and transfer power to the other wheel on that axle.
@@theredheadredneck1781 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼
@@wildbill23c wow! you know more about the Jeep trannys than i do!! thats impressive!!
How can I contact you? I want a four-wheel drive button
Fuckkkkkk tyyyyyyyyyyy
did you say 2008.5 jeep grand cherokee? whats a 2008.5? 0:08
Some of the 2008 CRDs were actually 2009s and came with 2009 owner manuals. They had to sell them in 2008 because they didn't meet 2009 emission standards so they are referred to 2008.5s.
@@SteveRivett before 2009 without DPF...right?
When shifted in 4 low i get a grinding noise why??
Mine did that when I first got it but hadn't been put in 4lo in the past 10 years. You could read your codes and consider changing the fluid if the sound is worrisome.
Shift transmission to neutral while rolling forward slightly, pull shift lever into low range quickly and firmly without stopping in neutral. You will most likely hear a slight grinding noise and it is normal. The gears in the transfer case are not synchronized, meaning they are not spinning at the same speeds to easily mesh, so rolling forward very slowly while shifting the transfer case to and from low range helps complete the shift procedure, but the grinding is normal.
I don’t even have that T bar thing what’s going on
That means your transfer case only has 4-hi or you have a 2wd model. You should look underneath.
@@SteveRivett 3.7’s are a simpler design.
Someone broke in and stole that jewel. Darn thieves!!!
In this video, I'm going to show you blablabla.
Then, let me read the instructions.
If you don't know how to do it, why post a video about it?
My channel is not rehearsed. One take and that's it regardless of which direction it goes just like life. :D
Still, read the instructions then do one take.
Shit. It is hard to use. Have to stop and change every time
Small hint, when posting up an 'informative video, turn your fri%@ing radio OFF
Entitled much? Just be grateful that someone spares the time and effort to help you out, for FREE!
@deadastronaut2440
The video didn't explain $hit either!
More information on the radio !
@@rickshaw2425 Watch it again. He shows/tells you how to put the QDII in 4 low and neutral mode. Honestly if you can't get how to do it from this video, you have bigger problems.
Not very good at all. Does not show what he is doing with the shifter, very confusing.
You see that "PRND" changing on the lower left there? That's what he's doing with the shifter.
