@@ismaelquintero3403 One of the RZR forums stated that Cometic will make a thicker gasket. I thought about that route as well. Definitely would have been less expensive.

@@ismaelquintero3403 Yeah, there is so little information. After doing all the research for this video I decided to go for it. I bought the full rebuild kit from Kalama. I was still worried about the 12:1 compression so I bought some 11:1 Wiseco pistons. Even with 11:1 I worry a little about detonation so I got a 180 degree thermostat to let it run cooler. I'm still waiting on everything to arrive but I'll make sure to post some video's as soon as I can. I've also got a power commander 5 that came with the RZR but was never installed so I'll be installing that and adding a Pressure Guard oil pressure regulator and a oil pressure gauge so there will be some great stuff coming up. Time to get it all done will my biggest hurdle 😉

⁠@@guntherferguson2369what was the overall cost with the pressure guard and wiseco pistons? I might keep get the kit and just run an octane booster. I have a lot of touch up to do on my rzr. Thanks for the quick reply.

@@ismaelquintero3403 The kit was just the beginning. I found a kit from Vito's performance with a cam for $1,299.00. Great price! But then the extra pistons were $343 directly from Wiseco. Knock off Pressure Guard from Amazon $30. Thermostat is an actual Polaris brand part from Amazon for $40. New oil pump and water pump impeller black friday sale from Rez 6 $200. I don't have links right now but I'll include them in my next video. If you decide to use the 12:1 pistons you should definitely get the pressure guard, 180 thermostat and the upgraded impeller. And get your radiator fans to kick on a little earlier. Those things will work together to protect your engine. You might not even need octane booster with those upgrades if your riding in elevation above 4,000 feet. I'm still not sure I really needed to change the pistons. I just felt a lot more comfortable bring my compression down a point.

@@guntherferguson2369 i was looking at the vitos kit also i noticed it was the same kit for less. Thank you for all your help I’m going to be ordering my parts next month. Can’t wait for the next video 👍

I finally got all my parts together. Holding the Wiseco 11:1 and the Kalama pistons side by side I have no idea how Kalama gets 12:1 compression. They are nearly identical other than Kalama is about .5 mm taller but Kalama has a deeper dish in the piston. If anything I would think the Kalama would be lower compression than the Wiseco. . . ? Hopefully I'll get to edit and post the video tomorrow.

Your comment seems slow

@@damianosplay9457 That's awesome that you got it running though. Kinda brings your grandpa back to life in a way.

@@rickyulman Did anything get ruined on yours?

@@guntherferguson2369 Caused a gas leak and needed to replace the carb

It’s all fixed now!

Mufflers. It's all mufflers 🙃

I've really liked mine but it's definitely not perfect. Common problems are broken exhaust manifold bolts, water pump, ticking lifters, and the TIPM (fusebox.) I've personally had all of those problems except the lifters. For me they are easy fixes so not too big of a deal. With an Overland you have air suspension as well. I'm not sure if that has any problems or not since I don't have it on mine. As long as you're at least a moderate mechanic and have some decent tools, especially a good code scanner, I would say go for it. It's one of the easiest engine bays you'll ever work in. But if you have to take it to a mechanic for everything it might not be a good idea. I know a lot of the electrical gremlins were solved with the 2014 and newer models. Plus you get an 8 speed transmission with 2014 up. But no matter what year you get make sure you change your oil religiously.

@@guntherferguson2369 man The 2012 is more my price range. I did look at newer models though jusy based off the air suspension

@@snoozinatthetop I still have the Jeep in this video. It has 101,627 miles on it and I haven't had anything major go wrong. Just the little things I mentioned but they were cheap to fix because I did it myself. I still love it after all these years. I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon but if I did it would be with a newer one with an 8 speed. That transmission is awesome. My girlfriend has a 2014 Durango which is mechanically the same except without a TIPM and it has an 8 speed. She has 132,00 miles on hers also with nothing major. It needed a water pump at 60K and that's about it. The radiator and the transmission cooler leak a little but that's because the lady who had it before her liked to run into things. Neither the Jeep or Durango have ever left us stranded. But with used cars you never know. Just take a lot of time looking at the Jeep. Chrisfix has some great videos on TH-cam about checking out used cars before you buy them. I would definitely recommend his channel to anyone who works on the own cars.

@@guntherferguson2369 you have been great. I really appreciate you.

@@snoozinatthetop Oh, I also had to fix the radio. On the Mygig radio's (the one with the 5" screen) it's relatively common for the hard drive to fail. The Overland will have that radio for sure. It's way easy to fix if it fails but costs about $120 for a quality disk drive. I made a video on how to do it but have yet to edit and post. I work two jobs and my woman takes the rest of my time so I never get to it. .

I'm glad it helped! I'm still driving around without the rear mufflers 4 years later lol. I put them back on for awhile but it was just too quiet. I took them off to repaint them and just can't bring myself to put them back on. It's funny because when I made this video I was disappointed that removing the rear mufflers didn't make enough difference but once I put them back on and off again I realized just how much that subtle difference matters. One day I'll get a real exhaust on there.

I really need to video more projects. I've done some stuff but I'm always against the clock so no video gets made. The Jeep is still running great. I'm about to hit 100,000 miles. I had to replace the original battery last night. 8 years ain't bad for a battery lol. Thanks for asking!

No you won't. The inlet is up high and so is the air filter. Water would have to fill that entire box to get to the filter. The box has drain holes so that is very unlikely. You would have to be completely submerged to suck water into your intake. That little rubber piece isn't a seal. It's just a blocker.

I think they meant for it to be a seal but water can't really get in there. And any small amount of water that does will just go out the drains at the bottom. it's really just an unnecessary restriction. In fact the Durango with the same engine and air box doesn't even have that piece. Making it even more obvious to me that's it's just a waste of rubber and glue and should be removed so that you can get mor e air.

That's all it does is restrict air. I think they meant for it to keep water out but there is no way enough water is getting in there to cause problems unless you're submerged in water. If you are submerged that seal isn't going to save you lol.

That's how it goes sometimes when your garage is a kitchen. Lol!

There is more than enough space between the air filter and the bottom of the air box. You would pretty much have to be submerged for water to get in there. That seal is just a restriction.

engine temperature in my grand cherokee 2012 rises to 223°F

@@henryperez3922 check wiring under fuse box . Blower motor our just caught on fire a week ago . Water pump , thermostat, radiator cap, sensors, hoses lower and upper . Changed all but blower motor and we paid the priced for it . All our wiring is shot and locked .

Julia O did u check heater core? Im having overheat problems as well but found out it was heater core

My 2012 runs at 215-219 consistently. Ive changed out my thermostat twice already.

2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I did that first but then the spare is wobbly. I chose to remove the foam and flip it because it gives a couple extra inches clearance on top to fit my tool set on top..

I see what happened Guenther. You have the space saver spare and I have full size spare. That is why you have a doughnut and you can take it out; no doughnut for me. On reversing the spare- it is well worth it also because you can check tire pressure with the spare reversed. My tire only had 20 psi when I checked it.

No it's not a problem. The snorkel goes into the bottom of the air box. The filter is all the way at the top. If there is enough water to fill that up to the filters level you have bigger problems to worry about.

Does it affect if I have a cold air intake dont want water getting the intake to wet

You should make a better video and post it

Did you end up doing it? Did you like it?? I thought it was great. Made gooood noises. A few months after I made this video I was able to find a K&N intake for a great price. The K&N is a little bit louder. I love it!

How we do in West Valley : )

JonP227GT you are the ricer

No matter what you call them there are too many mufflers/resonators in my opinion. The SRT intake is a good Idea. I was concentrating on free mods for this video but that would be a good cheap mod for sure. I definitely need another project.

SRTJeff 618 your correct these have a mid muffler and 2 rear resonators.
