I had a 94 2wd w/5 speed and I could give college kids fits in their little BMW's stoplight to stoplight. I've owned 4, totaled one and it saved my life, they are built very strong and the 4.0 6 cylinder is a beast.
A Jeep that doesn't leak something 😂 now thats a custom job 👍 You went above and beyond for this XJ with all the cleaning and painting ect... Most shops won't swap your engine with love . Now this rig can get back to life once again!!
Hi Dan 👋 👋 👋 👋 just wanted to let you know that the Freeze plugs on the back of your engine needs to be replaced. I see Rust. Hopefully it will work for you.. Anyway don't forget about buying Brass freeze plugs I bought my freeze plugs at Napa auto.
@@ProjectDanH thanks for the reply! just finished my first swap today I did that method but I had to slide a drill bit through the middle so it wouldn’t flatten the pin
I have a 00 jeep XJ and bought a 99 XJ with good motor I’m gonna keep my coil pack not distributor how do I make the coil pack stay on the motor because the bolts aren’t there to mount it ??? Thanks love your videos
The engine was installed previously in a manual and he set it up for an automatic. Gotta remove the pilot bearing or the transmission won't mate. Ask me how I know. 😂
@@ProjectDanH it’s a minor but important detail to look out for. Or replacing/adding the pilot bearing if your Jeep is a manual and going the other way. Throw out bearing is also a good replacement if your in there and it’s a manual.
I used the Dorman dipstick in my 04 4.0 now 6 quarts read 1/2 quart overfull. Did you replace rear main seal? Just curious. put used 4.0 that had no signs of leaks in cousins Wrangler, started leaking 2 weeks after install. BTW, excellent job, my friend.
Hello Dan great series. Have a question on a ZJ 1995 Grand Cherokee. My Digital Heater/AC control blows cold air BUT if I move the temp dial just 1 degree it blows hot air for days. So if set to 55 degrees and move to 56 or set to 70 and move to 71 air blows heat instantly for days. I don't touch the 55 (blowing heat) then in a few days it blows 55 again. AC will blow 55 as long as I do not touch the temp dial. If I adjust the Temp just 1 degree boom HOT air and wont go back to 55, 60, 71 or whatever for days. Have you any solution or things to check?
Hello Dan..I didn't know how to get a hold of you I been watching your videos since I found you ..enywho..I had an accident ran into a gas pump pylon..it smashed in my front passenger side it looks ugly..I have a 2010 jeep grand cheerokee limited hemi..I'm trying to figure out how to pull it off and if I should pound it out or just buy a new one..if you could message me back and we can chat help me out a lil bit since your a great mechanic on jeeps..I've watched alot of different people ..but bro you out smart em..let me know..have a great jeep kinda day!..thanks
Hey, Thanks for watching!!! So sorry about the accident. Depending on the severity of the damage and If it still runs and drives you could start to accumulate the obvious parts first. If you can pull your own new parts yourself you can learn how to do the job yourself. When you have the parts and some confidence dig in!
@@ProjectDanH appreciate it...do you have an email address or some way I can show you some pics of the damage then maybe u can shove me in the right direction..?
@@ProjectDanH ...dude thank you..I'm really amazed you connect with your viewers and jeep lovers..I have so many ?..but my wife has insta and we'll drop you a message...thank you Mr. DanH..

14:39 Hello Dan, and thanks for the screenshot. My Haynes workshop manual doesn’t do the electrical sensor.😢. Finally finishing swapping a rebuild 4.0l I in my Xj classic sport , purchased from USA engines in the Netherlands. Completely cleaned and spray painted al the parts that came of the old engine which had been leaking oil al 😢around for about six years😩. Sandblasted the exhaust headers and spray painted those with heat resistant paint. Today I am cleaning the engine compartment. So hoping to get it running by the and of the week. Keep up the good work and Greetings from the Netherlands.

This 2 part series helped me so much!! Was going down the freeway when a piston head decided to leave the chat. Thank you!!
Glad it helped! Sorry your piston logged off!
YOOOO ME MF TOO😭 my first jeep man didn’t even last me 2 weeks
Thanks for video! Greetings from Odesa, Ukraine! My zj 4.0 needs this procedure some day...but later...
Great job as usual Dan 👍 the best Tutorial videos i have ever seen from anyone on youtube
Thanks brother! I always appreciate your view! 💪
I enjoyed following along Dan. My old XJ is getting up there in mileage so I may come back here when it comes time to replace my engine.
Thanks Brother! come visit anytime!
@@ProjectDanH LMAO I came back to rewatch. Mine didnt like being at 300k miles
Nice one! I did the manifold bolts in the car. Almost made me give up the entire job!
Hahaha, dude! That's rough!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, it was very helpful and informative.
Good series ! Now I know how much is needed to do the job !! Good Vid 🖒
Thank you so much!!! Glad it was helpful!
Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 Dan I just to say thank you for doing a great job on the Jeep. I hope to more videos 📹 soon.

Thanks brother!
Awesome vid dan. 👌🏼
Thank you!!!
Nice job man!
Love your "brakes" shirt though)
LOL Thanks for noticing!! A good ol D&E Collab!!
Fantastic job buddy. Excellent work.
Thanks brother!!
Great video, love the 4.0 👍🇺🇸👍

where can I get that manual? thanks for your videos
Do you ha😮ve a spare oil dipstick tube you want to get rid of its a 2001 cherokee 4.0 please respond
Sorry no but they should be on eBay or any parts store
Dan how did u remove the dowels from the old engine? Struggling right now
Vice grips on the dowel, twist em while tapping the vice grips with a hammer... also I'm strong AF.. lol
@@ProjectDanH thanks for the reply! just finished my first swap today I did that method but I had to slide a drill bit through the middle so it wouldn’t flatten the pin
Is it possible to put it in crooked? None of the bolts index. It's slots and oversized holes all the way back to the transmission crossmember...
good job.... saludos desde mexico
Thank you brother!
Did you replace that hose that goes from the intake tube to the canister on the passenger side. If so do you happen to have a part number for that?
Vacuum lines?? nah sorry no part numbers. Try a junk yard!
Nice job Brother...💪👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
How did you torque the engine back to the transmission? Did you use crows feet wrench heads and a torque wrench or just wing it?
didn't have any Crows feet.. I used a 15mm gear wrench,. Couldn't get a torque wrench on so I used locktite and cranked it down
I have a 00 jeep XJ and bought a 99 XJ with good motor I’m gonna keep my coil pack not distributor how do I make the coil pack stay on the motor because the bolts aren’t there to mount it ??? Thanks love your videos
Thanks brother! you have to put your head from 00-01 on it! Make sure if its stamped 0331 that it says TUPY on it!
Check out K Suspension and the viper coil pack mod. Seems perfect for this scenario.
Great videos. Just wondering - is it possible to pull the engine and trans in one piece?
Nice couple of videos,I enjoyed watching you working.Should I send you a pair of gloves to protect your pinkies from that flywheel?.
LMAO! My poor little pinky! I have gloves but hate using them. Thanks for watching!
Great work Dan! Did you buy an Excursion?
Good job brother!
Thank you Jimmy
Hillman part# 883604 replaces the E12 bolts. I got rid of them.
Nice move Mike! Thanks for the Info!!!

LOL, YEP! Depends on the years the older years are longer and definitely wont fit!

Hey, Thank you for watching! try replacing the AC control unit
Great vid Dan, my question can a wj rear dana hookup with a zj?
Yes, Contact Roy Remick On Face Book, he did it
How many times did you think about a 4.6 stroker (since ima pull it anyways😂)
lol. Every day!

How much time did you have in this swap, or on a typical swap? I know you are super familiar with these so you are gayer than the “average Joe”.
