Welcome to Pete's Place Garage! I try to showcase the projects I do in my tiny little 2-car garage. If I can do it, so can you! I try to be as descriptive as I can, but I'm not a dedicated "how-to" channel, so results may vary. I do try to at least tell a story!
Thanks for stopping by!

Love car . Hate wheels.
@@billygroves8236 I agree! That's why I bought some OEM finned wheels.
Nice project car, it was the best car on the road back when it was new and was the longest coupe at 231 inches. I have a 1978 Mark V , all original and in beautiful condition, drive to car shows and always the only Mark V there. I’ll be watching your progress on your 79. Cheers from Ontario, Canada
Thanks! I love these cars. This is my second MK V.
I live in Calgary & in our underground parking is an absolute beautiful 1978 Mark 5 . Original owner (91 year old) very low mileage , 460 cu in , light blue diamond jubilee. Runs & looks amazing . What do you think this car is worth ? I’d love to own it but my wife ……
@@brianrussell9419 it's hard to tell what the car is worth without seeing it, but if it's clean and runs, at least $10k, probably more.
@@PetesPlaceGarage Thankyou . This car is all original & other than some door dings on chrome around the rear wheel , excellent condition . Now if I could just talk my wife into it …….
Here in Ontario, Diamond Jubilee models are over $20000
I just did this on my 2013 Accord and I did remove the entire throttle body, you see people on TH-cam spraying inside their engine that’s definitely not recommended also the relearn process is as simple as just disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes then leaving the car run for 10 to 20 minutes and the relearn process will be done. Don’t waste your money at the dealer
Not sure why u even made this video. Just to show off you know how to do it. Cuz that video does not help anybody looking to do this.
I made the video because I like to share with my friends and family. I have never claimed to be a "how-to" channel. I'm sorry that you did not enjoy it. May I suggest you search for other videos that will demonstrate how exactly to do this job? I'm sure they are out there, and that you would enjoy them more. Good luck with your search!
How many miles were on the vehicle
186k
@@PetesPlaceGarage I’m at 30k and hunting a bearing noise 🫤
Total hours?
Took a day, including a parts hunt and beer break. So maybe 6 hours.
How do you unhook the electrical?
Nice rig. Can you tell me anything about those rims? I've got actually Ford steelies right now and would like that setup you have.
The only thing I know is they came off a Ford E350 van from the early 2000's
@@PetesPlaceGarage Right on, I was kinda wondering if they were Ford rims. That's bad ass. I'm gonna look for some for my 85.
The background music makes it impossible to hear what you're saying.
any burning oil problem ?
No, the car doesn't burn oil
After using both of them for long period, which do you think is better in terms of quality and reliability?
The older Gen 2 Smittybilt winches are really good. The newer ones are not. The Superwinch SX is really good, and a significant improvement over the SB Gen 3 winch.
@@PetesPlaceGarage Thanks for the quick response.
What size driveshaft does the truck have ?
I don't know exactly. I didn't change anything, really, so I kept the stock driveshaft.
So I’ve replaced all brake components ( booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve, rear drums complete rebuild) I still have to floor it to break. I have to pump it on or off to build pressure (in park) I try to bleed it but no pressure stays. What can I do ?
Also I bought the truck with the abs pump valve disconnected already and rerouted , do I replace the abs module box or disconnect that too ? And try bleeding the brakes
I had to completely remove the ABS module and run the brake lines straight to the MC. It doesn't work if you don't do that
This is a good video, I found this helpful. 2 years later, how is it holding up? I'm thinking of getting one of these for my 2013 Toyota 4Runner, in the 10K rating.
It works great. I love this winch
What’s mpg on that suburban with 8.1.
Here's a tip for everyone, since you have taken off the air filter box with the MAF sensor attached, get some MAF sensor cleaner and spray the sensor (not the outer part of the sensor where the wire clips on) and inner parts of the air duct.
So is there people that acutally clean it without removing
Explain the part where you said if you wait to nothin works
So how long does this job take removing abd installing
Working ac??
130.00$ seems cheap instead of this.
The whole job took under an hour from start to finish. But certainly, if you have the money and not the time, it makes sense to take it to Honda. Keep in mind that the $130 is Pre-Inflation. It will probably be more, now.
This is the hard way to do it. Key in ignition, brick on gas pedal and spray TB cleaner on a swab or rag instead of taking the whole thing off.
Did you not have to notch frame. Could i get a complete parts list to make this happen. Next summer my k30 will get an 8.1 or 6.0, whatever is cost effective.
@@PetesPlaceGarage I've got a year to find it lol
Thanks Pete....
My 98 xj was just diagnosed with #3 cylinder broken valve spring and bent valve. My Jeep mechanic is based in Clearwater so the new cylinder head came from Clearwater. I’d appreciate any input. Mechanic hasnt officially quoted me yet, just sent some pictures. What questions should I ask? How much is too much to pay for repair? At what cost should I cut my losses and look into selling? I paid about 1600 for my xj 2 years ago. Other than this issue and broken water pump that was replaced I haven’t had any issues. Ive replaced cat converter, spark plugs, Cps, o2 sensors, new belts, etc. plus had like $2000 worth of repairs/upgrade when I first got her. Sorry if some of that info is irrelevant..I’m a girl new to the world of xj. I wish I had a father who knew vehicles like you I would have loved to work on projects like you and your daughter do… knowledge about vehicle mechanics is such power…I wish I knew more
Im having the same problem where the rear passenger window doesnt work.... i checked and it's not the motor because it work's when i connected or to my cordless drill battery... i may have to try this....
Part numbers ?
How did u run power to the switch I’m trying to figure this out
I used the existing wiring. It is in decent shape
Have you compared coolant temps with and without the rad shroud now that you have added more cooling with the extra fan?
Also, the electric fans were never the right choice for this. A little later I decided to ditch the whole electric setup and went back to a mechanical fan. That instantly solved my issues. The truck has not gotten over 200 degrees even while towing uphill since I made the change. th-cam.com/video/5Yj6AW6ndMU/w-d-xo.html
Hey bud what kinda distance have you gotten on that remote
That music is horrible. You cant even hear you over it.
Relax buddy, you can hear him clearly. Maybe time to clean your ears?
Why couldn't you use the Allison transmission just curious because I'm about to do the same swap on my square body suburban but I know the truck I'm pulling it all out of is a beast of a four-wheel drive. With that truck I have yet to get stuck or find anything I can't pull out figured what better combination than to put in my suburban that has 40" swappers!! Thought she would for sure be unstoppable.. is there a specific reason why it can't be used or is it just your personal application..thought I'd inquire before I get too deep into the project lol.
@@PetesPlaceGarage thanks for that info good to know but how's your 4L80 do in comparison to that Allison cuz I know when my 01 Chevy truck today .1 and that Allison are unstoppable at least so far. And just figured if I'm going with my 40 inch super swampers. So I'm curious of how the 4L80 holds up in comparison I don't mind doing the extra fab work if it's worth it in the end. But as with anybody else if it's not I don't want to do that extra work if it's unnecessary LOL but again thank you for the info I truly appreciate that Intel...
definitely thinking about doing this to my 1987 420SEL !!
LOL it's supposed to be at the junkyard in the sky 😂 good ol Ford
I bought one of these used from a wreck but it was just the winch, no solenoid, wires, fairlead roller or remote. Do I have to buy the expense Smitty solenoid or are there cheaper options?
To get the best result you should always use the correct parts for the winch, but with enough ingenuity any modern winch solenoid pack could probably be modified to work. At the end of the day, it's just making sure that power gets applied to the motor correctly.
Hey do you know the identification number for this transmission? Needing mine replaced and the shop needs the number. If you do, thanks. I’d appreciate that more than you’d know
Sorry, when I replaced it it was just a random 2wd 700r4 that I bought off Marketplace
Hey love the video. Do you by chance know the identification number for the transmission? Needing mine replaced and the shop is asking for an id number for this same tranny you got, if it’s 2wd. I don’t have my tranny anymore so I can’t go out and look. I know it has the “md8” but believe they need the actual id number/ vin whatever you call it lol. If you got the number I’d appreciate it
Did you have to end up putting in a proportioning valvd?
Did you use the original metal clips that fit into plastic housing( where wire conects to switch)? Or how did you conect wire to switch?
I soldered the wires onto the terminals. That connector was wasted and it took a lot of work to repair it to a point where it was usable.
this is actually helpful dont listen to these people who needs lil baby steps just the knowledge of getting that side of the hose by removing the battery was enough info to make this job easier
I tried replacing the fuse and that did not work. Where did you order the solenoid / control box? I find a universal control box but do not know for sure that it works on the Smittybuilt winch. Thanks
still liking it after a year?
Yep, it's a great winch. Once I got my power cable issues sorted out on my jeep, that is. But it performs well, and I love my wireless remote.
I used cheap e bay electric gauges on my ‘73 c10 when i put a LS in it, i was able to make them fit in the stock bezel and got all custom gauges for under $150 or so…but yeah i was gonna do the torque app with a tablet as well but i couldnt figure out how to link the damn thing…..awesome build you have there ive owned 2 of them square body suburban 4x4’s one a 1500 and the other a 2500…both 350 small block trucks … personally i liked the 1500 better….but im sure had my 2500 had a 8.1 swapped in it my feelings would have been diffrent….for the record my eagle 230 eliminator (boat) has that same vortec 8.1 in it, and it is an 80mph boat all day, as long as i have my trims dialed in….i love it!!!
im doing the same swap. where did you hook up the fuel return on the 8.1?
I used the stock feed and return lines. I ran them through an Automotive return style fuel regulator. So feed in, regulated supply out, and return through the bottom return port. It works well, but the fuel rail has to be bled if it runs dry. I had the returnless style fuel rail. If you have a return style rail, just hook it it to the stock return line.
@@Petrella82 The feed and return lines on my suburban (it had TBI EFI) came up from the top of the trans tunnel on the passenger side. I cut them and added AN fittings. For a return style fuel rail, I would have just routed the feed and return lines to the correct points on the fuel rail.
Did the other door switches work before you replaced the driver switch?
None of my switches work other then driver passenger and it only goes down
Needed to see the wiring connections...took mine apart ¬ sure of all connections. Can you do or show wiring connections inside box?
Can’t you clean it with someone stepping on the gas pedal then reaching inside with a rag?
Ok say i take it off and then put it back dont i need to get programed? Bcus its electronic
@@danv6920 you have to take it to the dealer for the re-learn on the 2013 and up. But high idle is either a vacuum leak or the throttle plug didn't get reseated properly. If the engine already wouldn't start before you did the cleaning, then it's already too late and it has to go to Honda.
@@danv6920 where's yours idling at? I just cleaned my daughters and it had a idle vibration that went away. I forgot to check the idle before cleaning, I believe it was at 500, now clean it's idling at about 1000 but no more vibration at idle, idle was worse when ac/heat was on but gone altogether now..
Did your castle nut and cotter pin come off at the y link while driving because mine did… luckily I was turning into my driveway when it did happen
You wouldn't happen to have the part numbers for the AC and Alternator brackets? thanks
