Mine has been in the shop since the end of July, 2024 for the cylinder 3 misfire (582 km remaining on the power train), I am not even doing the work and I got anxiety. What an amazing video, and it really puts things in perspective as to what the Techs are probably going through.
Awesome video man. I have a 2018 JL slowly losing coolant and got a P0304 code. Tested positive for exhaust in the coolant res. I don't know much about cars but am about to try and do this.
22min 43sec How exactly? When you take the cam caps off the valves push the camshafts up which effectively removes any slack you gained when removing the tensioner. I had the same thought and pulled the cam caps and the fuckin cams are locked in place and the chains tight. Yes I started with cyl 1 at TDC. Wtf. How did you do that
@timcarter9893 and @everythingchannel690 , if you folks don't know, and are asking how to discharge an AC system, with all respect...you probably shouldn't be attempting to replace head gaskets on your own. That said, I'll still tell you. There are several ways: the "right" way is to have equipment to evacuate the system. A couple "at home" ways are to either hold a wet towel over the port as you depress the schrader valve with a punch or screwdriver. Another way is to have a set of R1234YF AC gauges, connect up, and then discharge through the vac/fill hose into a bucket of water (thus scrubbing the refrigerant as it comes out).
I got the full engine gasket kit from partsology which includes every gasket you would need. If you don’t want to use theirs you can get them from the mopar store.
Amazing video!

Is it possible to leave the AC parts in place without evacuating the Freon and just working around them?
How were you able to lift the camshaft with the chain still tensioned? Did you use a special tool?
@@tlegier I didn't. Chains came off. Then cams came out.
is there a quick description of how to D/C the A/C system? Tim
I’m currently doing the same job and wondering the same thing!!

@@NiXFiXhow did you discharge the AC to unhook from the condenser? Currently doing this same job.
Hey man. Do you have the parts list for the gaskets needed to do this job. Thanks!

Bro ! just saved me a poop load of time and $
WOW!! You're awesome bro. Just curious, what does a job like this cost?
Unfortunately, I don't know what a shop would charge for this.
How much would you charge me to do mine
Woooooaaahhhhh!!!! Lol
