Finishing the install in my 1952 M38. Getting the locking tab and then the star snap ring installed properly was the biggest hurdle. I have agonized over this step and can only hope that the snap ring is in properly. Working under the Jeep up on jack stands was a real pain. Thanks for the video.
It can definitely be a pain. Especially working on your back. I’m sure if you took your time and did your best it will be fine. When I was young I stressed over that snap ring a lot more than a i should have. If it’s in the groove it’s I good. As long as it wasn’t over-compressed it should be fine
These are cool units. In 1970-1971 I drove my dad's CJ-5 with one to school. He had the Warn overdrives on both his CJ-5 and his old Willys. In 1970 the retail price for the kit was $325, so today's price seems reasonable.
The best overdrive installation video yet ! Thank you for taking the time to show everyone the process! If I could I would like to ask you for a very brief summary of how you adapted the the mo617 to a B&W t18? On your CJ5. I looking to do the same.
Thank you! I’m glad you found the video informative. For the om617 I decided to just buy the adapter. It was so cheap I couldn’t justify making it. I got it from Mercedes diesel 4x4. Im not sure they’re in business anymore though. 🤷♂️
When I installed my Warn Overdrive more than 40 years ago in my Willys Wagon l did not have to measure the depth. And the syncro ring was already installed. SBC powered. Rebuilt the T90 a couple of times. No problem removing and installing. The Warn has had no problems after all these years. Just make sure the transfer case has oil. Tapered bearings in the intermediate gear works great.
Measuring is just a good way to check for any major variances in cases. I’ve installed a lot of these and never needed shims. These were a lot cheaper and easier to come by back in the day so not as much case was taken with the install. The design and procedure has not changed. Advanced adapters purchased this design from warn. The part is exactly the same. 👍
Oh, how easy it looks when the trans is out of the Jeep. Whoever designed this Overdrive should have been hung out after designing the locking tab and snap ring method. When under the vehicle it is useful to be a contortionist to get the tab and snap ring installed.
Are you familiar with Swepco Gear Oil?!? They claim reduced foaming, temperatures and extended life of the oil. The Land Rover guys in the UK swear by it. Keep up the good work.
I haven’t heard of them… thankfully I haven’t had any issues with foaming. People (including myself) have been running cheap 90w gear oil in these things for decades with no issues. As long as you keep the levels up they hold up great!

You're a good teacher with excellent diction -- a rarity on YT. Thanks.
Thank you! That means a lot! 🥹
Thanks for the video. Getting ready to reinstall my Warn after rebuilding my T14 and D18 on my 71. Keep up the work!
Awesome! Thanks Baxter! Good luck with your project!

Definitely want to see the demo video.
You got it man!! I’ll work on that next week.

Great instructions and videography. A driving/shifting video would be great.
Thank you! I’ll definitely get a driving video for y’all soon! 👍

Thanks for the help. I'm assuming the kit came with engine plate and flywheel. I will look into that kit. Thanks again.

🤙🧙♂️🐺👍
Thank you!
@@redeyecafegarage7484 U R WELCOME SIR!
👍🐺🧙♂️!!
Would love to see a driving video of it in action!
You got it! Stay tuned!
Can I also get this from Kaiser Willy's
Very good demonstration
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video! I wish there were such overdrive units for my Land Rover :(
I’m almost positive they do make something very similar for rovers.
@@redeyecafegarage7484 probably, but haven't seen one
Google roamer, global and fairey overdrive there were several different OD’s for rovers
Awesome video!! Demo please!!!
Sure! I can make that happen!
I definitely want to get one for mine I got two
You definitely should! You won’t regret it! Use code Redeyegarage10 to save a little money on anything you buy from them.

Yeah it’s definitely easier this way. Filming it properly while under the vehicle would have been rather problematic.
I have a late model 18 ,does it have hi and low range. I really don't know ? Also just subbed, thanks again.
Hi! All the spicer 18’s have hi and low range. 👍 thank you for the sub!
Amazing video steh and Andrea and the kids have a wonderful day God bless 🙏

It looked like there was a neutral between overdrive and direct? Is it?
Technically There is a neutral but I would always recommend using the transfer case neutral…not the overdrive.
Can you let us know where you got that Saturn shifter knob. I cannot find it anywhere.
It comes with the overdrive or overdrive shift kit when you order it from Kaiser Willys
