- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2017
- Part 2 - WH Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD vs HEMI, 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel OM642 versus 5.7L V8 petrol. This video was filmed at Menai New South Wales Australia and is the second installment of this series. For those that haven't seen Part 1, here's the link to it: • Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x... or you can click on this video at the ending screen after watching this video.
This trail is rated as medium difficulty.
Here's a little bit about the vehicles, they're both equipped with factory QD2 system, which incorporates the centre diff lock, as well as the front and rear, made by Eaton specifically for Jeep Grand Cherokee WH models (or WK in the US). The HEMI sports a 545RFE transmission and 3.73 diff gears. The CRD is equipped with NAG1 transmission and 3.55 diff gears. Both running a 4" Superlift lift kit, somewhat modified.
Both are running 33 inch tyres. The CRD is running 33x12.5R17 Atturo Trail Blade on +10 offset rims and the HEMI is running 285/70R17 Buckshot XMT Mudder with 1.5" spacers. So both end up with similar total offset.

Aussie Four Wheelers i can hear the crd purrin
One of the best off-roading video. We can learn a lot. Excellent camera shooting.
“You’re imagining things” that killed me 😂😂
LMAO 😂😂😂
Those trials kick ass. Good stuff here looks like a blast. We’ll make some snow videos for you guys this winter.
Wheeling with you Aussies looks like it'd be one hell of a good time! Awesome videos, too.
Thank you very much 👍 Let us know if you ever come for a visit.
Great videos guys. I look forward to watching each new one that comes up. Good luck in your future trips..
Thank you very much 👍 Glad you like our videos 😊
I've just got my first Jeep, 2006 WK Grand Cherokee with Quadra Drive II. Such a relaxing car to drive, much more comfortable than my current electric daily driver.
I just bought one, super clean. Hemi, limited, QD2 and it keeps amazing me every time I take it off road. I am in love with this thing, just waiting for it to start letting me down :-)
Enjoy 😊
Have the 3.0 it’s awesome
awesome vid, not quite your usual Patrol on 40s lol. BUT love seeing these stout Grand Cherokees out driving some beautiful terrain, and doing what most people wouldn't think they're capable of conquering as well. Nice driving skills helps as well. AND love the QD2 locker fix in part 1!
Thank you very much watching the video and leaving a comment 👍 Yeah, a bit different to the 40s beast, but still fun nonetheless.
Great Video. Excellent examples of driving off road. Good to see people that don't flog the crap out of their 4x4s unnecessarily and drive at good speed, following good lines. Yes the CRD had tyre issues; but overall, as far as the CRD Vs Hemi goes; I think they were pretty evenly matched off road. Both had capable drivers and both didn't need to be over-revved to achieve their goals. Yes, the Hemi sounds awesome, but the CRD is no slouch, as most diesels have proven. I'll call it a tie based on the capability of both vehicles including ride height/clearance and torque being up to and achieving the challenge. Once again, good to see some respect for the vehicle without doing damage.
Thanks for this great comment 👍 Glad you liked the video.
Once again a fantastic video.. You've made up my mind, I'm buying a wk. l have a low miles wj I just gave to my son, and bought a new wk2 to replace the one he wrecked. I'm going to start shopping today. Thank you.
Glad you liked it 👌
Too bad the 4" Superlift isn´t possible to get anymore. Any tips regarding lift kits?
Absolutely AWESOME video once again guys! Love your work, and makes me wish I owned one..... Look forward to the next Jeep adventure! 😎 👍👍
Thank you very much on the compliments 👍 Glad you like watching our videos 😊
Love it. I've got a wj diesel, which gets plenty off road action, using an Aussie lokka, goes everywhere. I bought a black wk overland diesel after watching this video. Love em. Black ones to nice to off road as of yet..
Thank you 👍 Hope it serves you well.
Nice!! I love the wk footage
Thank you very much 😊 Glad you liked it.
damn now those are trails I wish I could take my ZR2 on those great work guys I love the sound of that hemi to
Thank you for watching 👍 Glad you liked it.
Any rubbing issues in the rear? I'm planning on running 33s on my WH.
Great! Keep it up!
Thanks 👍
Great to see the Jeeps out.
I'd be interested to see the fuel use comparison if fully tanked up at the start 👍
The HEMI chews twice as much fuel as the CRD.
Good flick mate 👍
Thanks mate 👍
Отличное видео!
Спасибо! 👍
nice vids! what kind of 4x4 systems theyre on? quardra drive?
plenty of rock steps there guys
Great video guys - is the Hemi running some aftermarket mufflers or a full system. Sounds great. The diesel is nice too - my father has a black CRD, stock - geez they bloody move too. Cheers
Thanks bud 👍 the HEMI is running an aftermarket high flow muffler instead of the restrictive stock Chrysler one. Yeah, those CRD's pack a punch.
Hey man love the videos keep em coming. Have a 5.7 wh myself but want to know if you have stock uca's and any ball joint issues?
Yeah, they are stock UCA's. That's what you use with the Superlift. We've only replaced the ball joints once, so no issues besides the normal wear and tear.
J'adore les grincements vraiment caractéristiques du grand Cherokee !
do you have any luck finding skid plates? looking to get a wk but i cant seem to find much aftermarket support for them.
I made my own back in 2010.
Love the run out audio snippets on these filums. So, we never really decided which was best of the two did we? The CRD has "shit" tyres (hahaha!), but seemed to work most of the time in spite of that. The HEMI sounds amazing, and seemed more "relaxed" about the stuff it was pointed at. So for me, HEMI win.. Thanks for making these, I get quite excited when a notification pops up!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a decent comment 👍 Glad you're excited with the notifications 😉 Also glad you like the end screens, they certainly put a smile on my face if I can hold myself from bursting into laughter 😂 Yeah, in regards to the CRD's tyres, we noticed after the trip that his rear diff solenoid wiring connector was disconnected (probably by the HEMI driver - jokes) 😂😂
Precioso video chicos rockandroll! ImI
Gracias amigo 👍
Salut les pneumatique sont bf mud sur le 5,7 et le crd ??? mis a part bilstein quel autres ameliorations ? svp merci
Ressorts résistants, élévateur de quatre pouces (Superlift), entretoises de 1,5". Le CRD utilisait des pneus Atturo, maintenant Nitto Trail Grappler.
Are you running the stock diffs on the nv245 still?
Yes, stock Chrysler QD2 3.73 on the HEMI, 3.55 on the CRD, both on stock NV245 2.72 ratio.
Love grand Cherokees r one of the best SUVs out there
I just bought 1. 4c4. 05 3.7 liter and I love it
Good luck with it 👍 Hope it takes you on many adventures.
@@AussieFourWheelers thanks I hope it take me to Mexico in December
But first I gotta put new parts sonos ready to go.
Do yall disco the front sway bars or rear..is long travel control arms in the rear worth it without the front being RCV
Yeah, both front and rear are disconnected. Not sure how much you want to achieve with the long arms, but with the QD2 diffs and a few wheelies, these things go pretty much everywhere.
Another awesome video. What did the drivers think about the downhill trip? Was there a difference? I loved the spotter saying "Slowly, slowly." I thought I had clicked the wrong sort of video. Did you fix that solenoid connection properly. The Hemi driver just looked a bit shifty. (jokes) And seriously? I think 'tracks' is a bit of a stretch. The only difference between the bush and these 'tracks' is a lack of trees. (left hand down.. Ohhh $hit!)
HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 I so *LOVE* your comments. Was just sitting with mates and reading them from the earliest videos you started commenting to this latest one, and having an awesome laugh 😂 Thanks for that 👍👍👍 *LEGEND!* Really appreciated.
Well, you give me such awesome material. I can't let that go to waste... hehe
If you read this I hope you have a good life
Amazing drivers. I enjoyed video very much. Apart from disconnecting front sway bar, lift kits and wheels/tires what other mods do you have in your cars??
Thanks!
Both have catch cans. The HEMI had adjustable trailing arms with Johnny Joints. The CRD since this video has the front Saguaro bumper with a winch, custom rear bumper with recovery points, separately wired front and rear locking diffs via switches, Nissan Patrol trailing arms bushings, rear coil retainers, removable mud flaps. To see some of those details, watch this video: ruclips.net/video/NNEVTpkGytg/видео.html
@@AussieFourWheelers Thanks ! your machines work very well. How about mud? Do you suffer weight of cars on slipper terrains?
We avoid mud as much as possible 😂
@@AussieFourWheelers Hi what locking diff did you get for the front or did you rewire the existing front diff?
Still got the jeeps? Any problems with maintenance so far? I'm up sunny coast and thinking about purchasing a CRD.
Yeah, still got them. Still going good.
Very nice climbing! what is the dimension of the tires on the CRD? Thank you
Thank you for watching 👍 The CRD is running 33x12.5R17 size tyres.
Great video mate!
A quick question. I am getting a new Jeep and my dilemma is between WJ 2.7CRD and WH 3.0 CRD. In terms of reliability and repair costs, which one will be better?
I reckon the WH 3.0L, but the WJ would be easier to mod.
@@AussieFourWheelers Ive got a 4.7 V8 WJ and absolutely love her. Had no problems with her so far.
I like the stance on them mate, what size wheels and lift are they running. Cheers
4" and 33s on both
Hey mate what track is this on and we're is it at if you don't mind. Cheers love you videos and love all the rigs you guy show 👌
Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it. This was at Menai.
Does the V8 one had a diff lock on front ? amazing grip, 2 wheels always spinning :O
Quadra drive 2 is fitted stock on these models. They use eaton ELSD's which will fully lock automatically when required
@@ox2115 Ok, works amazingly great !
Are both Wk’s front sway bars disconnected?
Yes.
I love those vehicles.. Was thinking about getting the crd but I've heard that they have a lot of problems, especially electrical problems...is this true? Have you had any issues with them? Keep up the great videos
crankbreaker I have CRD Limited 2005 reg. No problems at all.
crankbreaker It's a Jeep of course it has a lot of problems. It's part of the ownership. This model had quite a few issues.
Konnor Kendrick where did you get this ? 😂😂😂
How is the long term reliability of these two rigs now?
Still going good, both of them.
That's all very nice but my question is how did you guys put your fender flares on the back doors?
Just with button-head self-tappers, then grind the ends off on the other side and cover the cut off side as well the head with dabs of black silicone.
Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD),
Thanks Aussie FW, I'll give that a go......
Diesel just fucking sound great
Those Merc V6 diesels do sound mint 👌
what size lift and tires are you guys running?
Pretty sure it's all in the description, have a look.
What has the hemi had done to it's exhaust to get the nicer note?
Upgraded the muffler to a high flow one :)
hi what size are your tyres on the two trucks .
Hi 👋 full details are in the description. Both are 33's.
I can know the measurements of the tires and the wheels, I would appreciate it very much
Hey buddy, please see it in the description. Thank you for asking.
HEMI Because OLD SCHOOL Gas N/A Engines make me Rock Hard and they sounds so good(My 4x4 have Crdi engine Tho😢) BTW Good Spotter.
yea but the price for second hand here in Europe is almost double for hemis :/ 5k for diesel 8-10k min for hemi
@@pyshing How about 4.7s? they are almost powerful as hemi
@@iMernerner uhhh that mid I hate the most ... :D Its almost like the perfect wife (5.7/6.1 with luck) its mid range ... I never liked mid ranged :/ High class top model or economy :)
@@pyshing it is most reliable engine&transmisson package for grand cherokee! 4.7 is iconic
@@iMernerner hot garbage
Looked like CRD's tire pressure was too low.
Ohh now i need to sell my mitsubishi montero 2.8 disel and buy a wh/wk 5.7 hemi!! Tnx for the video from israel!
It’s the QuadraDRIVE II that makes the bug difference between these and lesser SUV. Wish the WK2 had it (WK2 has no front end limited slip)
I think alot of these videos is a little biased towards the CRD because he seemed to have a better spotter and we all know the better line you get the easier the obstacles are
cool videos as always. why he said CRD tyres are shit ? are they bad for rocks or too wide or something else bad with them ? that hemi just sounds so sweet , but any of those cars are great for those kinda things i guess.
Glad you liked it 😊 He said they were shit because had no traction, without knowing the rear diff wasn't locking. Now that we fixed it, he's keen to give it another go and see what difference it'll make.
How did you attach the flares on the rear doors? Need help!
They are side fix flares and have a lip for the screws. We then put black selastic over the screw heads so they're not visible. Here's a link of the flares: www.ebay.com.au/itm/274315584792
@@AussieFourWheelersthanks mate. I ended up going with 75mm to suit my massive offset
What lift is the 5.7 running
Both are 4"
Whats size tires crd ? Thanks🤟🏼
33s on both
The sound of the HEMI V8.... gah dam
You need more ground clearance. your IDP Suspension is getting in the way. But other than that it should be a pretty capable truck.
Ho la stessa non si trova piu niente per riparare il diferenziale
i think those cars look great, no bullshit hanging off them, just a lift and tyres. i had a wj crd with a front locker, rear lsd and 32" tyres, the thing looked like a street car but was really capable. i'd take the diesel any day just for the fuel bill.
Thanks for commenting bud 👍 Definitely the diesel, half the fuel consumption.
I've been trying to figure out where or in which video you made the lift. I'm getting the hemi soon and will be putting a 2" ome lift. what lift you used on this hemi? and any recommendation for tire sizes? I'll keep original rims... cheeeeeeeeers
Rami Ay both cars are running 4 inch super lift and 33s
Jason Patterson can u send me a link i can see/buy/understand more what parts does this 4" kit include
Here's the video of the Superlift install: ruclips.net/video/Uz-flFuVQHQ/видео.html
What are the three your running make and size??
Assume you mean tyres??
Yes tyres stupid auto correct lol
Have a 2001 wj 4.0l
HAHA. The CRD is running 33x12.5R17 Atturo Trail Blade and the HEMI is running 285/70R17 Buckshot XMT Mudder.
i like jeep
fuel consumption must be 15l/100 vs 40l/100
Pretty much HAHAHAA
what year is the crd?
Both are 2005
@@AussieFourWheelers thank you
?can you tell inside the car when does the lockers kicks in
You could usually feel it, otherwise best to install some LED's for front and rear to tell you when the computer turns them on and off. But even better to make them fully manual.
у crd резина лысая, зацепа нет, но hemi хорош, видео отличное!
Спасибо 😊
На здоровье,комрад =)))
Aussie Four Wheelers Красавцы, респект из Канады!!! Почему только нет защиты(skid plate)?
Seriously looks like the hemi has rear lockers at least. And diesel just brake distribution system. Unless that's a LSD that works as good as a locker....
Both have locking LSD's but the CRD ones were playing up. Should do a rematch.
@@AussieFourWheelers so it's a LSD that locks??
Open diff with clutch packs and a electronic locking mechanism ?
Yes, LSD's that lock up 100%. We've modded the CRD with manual switches inside the cab rather than relying on the ECU, so it's heaps fun now. You can try unlocked, front or rear locked (one at a time) and twin locked. So much better than having the factory ECU do the thing.
@@AussieFourWheelers
Hi, Gr8 Jeeps and Vids, Cheers :-)
Any chance doing vid on a how to to do the manual locker switches?
Just got my first wk/wh crd after many yrs haven a moded wj 4.7.Looken at a 4inch superlift etc...:-)
Ясно одно, отличие только в звуке выхлопа😊
wow.. that bearded bloke can drive just about anything jeep, nissan , toyota... he doesnt even need diff locks or lower tyre pressures😂😂
gullf1sk your not wrong
HAHAHA 😂😂😂
It’s Jesus wheeling with his disciples - he can walk the vehicle over water too🤘🤘🤘
Güzel video, CRD sürücü acemi galiba, lastikleride çöp.
But ...at the end of the day I'd rather have a CRD .. which I do.
Cool 😎 Enjoy it 😊
Steering wheels on the wrong side
Who is giving these 'instructions'. 6.35 'go go go' (sounds like a Patrol or Landcruiser owner that hasn't spend thousands on diff locks - each of those you really do need to 'go go go' without modifications) Meanwhile the Jeep just crawls up it.
Who? The other Jeep owner lol
I think the diesel is the better off road, looked like it idled over most of the obstacles but the girl driving the Hemi is better behind the wheel. Maybe next time have her drive the diesel.
Lol 😂 you can identify and be identified how ever you like these days 😂😂😂 great comment!!
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😁😉
По такой дороге любая лифтованная тачка проедет, это вообще не показатель.
