Immediately run to the garage to make sure Zulu will not have the same problem....1 hour later bracket fabricated and installed. You are a Jeep saver!
thanks Dan! your the second subscriber that immediately had to fix the problem! what a horrible design... crazy man
Nice rust prevention 🤩
Fixing the problem at the side of the road gives you so much satifaction 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Iol! I definitely slept well that day 🤣
Got the same thought 😀
That bracket looks nice! You could put a slice of the rubber line to avoid metal to metal contact that might break it again in the future.
Thanks for the tip! I never thought of that 👍
Nothing like those side of the road repairs...lol...Nice job Dano ...
Haha! I was covered in spiders! I hate spiders. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks buddy!
I thought that Milwaukee was going through your palm dude... had me scared!
Me too! 🤞
I had a similar problem in my XJ a few years back before I put my new suspension on. It had so much play that when I hit a bump hard enough, the trans lines smacked in the suspension and broke them. As soon as I felt it slip, I pulled over and shut it down, got out and saw trans fluid pouring out. I had it towed home, repaired the lines and did a flush. This was atleast 50,000 miles ago. The AW4s are quite resilient as long as you keep them flushed. Shifts just as smooth as ever
heck yeah man! I love the AW4. blows the 42RE out of the water
My transmission line blew well I was on i95 in the fast lane in my ZJ. Sketchiest shit ever LOL. Did a full-blown "Jersey merge" to get off the highway
Haha! The Jersey slide! LMAO across all 6 lanes of traffic! Super Sketch!
I'm trying to learn from you great video. Please remember to not use acronyms for some of us that are trying to learn.
Gotcha brother! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments 💪
This is why I used a steel line on the high-pressure line all the way up and to the transmission . Great save on the General but Jeeps don't like regular ATF it will kill the clutches in the transmission so I'd get some ATF +4 and flush the system out . Now the question is what's the new wheels for ??
It would be optimal to run all steel lines, unfortunately I modified them for a trans cooler. New wheels are an option for the XJ build 😊. Couldn't pass up free!
It is always raining when your working on the Jeep!! LOL!!
The show must go on!
Same thing happened to me while I was road tripping down in Orlando a few years ago. Bad water pump bearing slung the belt off and flung it around the engine bay. An 18-wheeler took pity on me since I was in the far left lane and blocked off 4 lanes of traffic while a few people jumped out to help me push. Luckily I broke down right in front of an Advance, haha.
Wow. The Big man was looking out for you! You had backup and landed near a parts store! Great story!
I still cannot understand why Jeep put the transmission dipstick in such a lousy location for the ZJ ONLY. Similarly equipped WJ's (4.0L and 42RE trans) have the dipstick tube on the passenger's side like the XJ's have. On my "to do" list is retrofitting a WJ dipstick into 98 ZJ and the Mrs .97 ZJ which are the same color (PJ7) as the General. By the way, he looks very handsome with the new tires.
I thought it might just be a weird 42re design. the sticks are pressed into the pan on the AW4... weird
I just put these same tires on my WJ. So far I thoroughly have enjoyed them. First day was pouring rain and I was definitely doing 15 over on the interstate with amazing traction. Sure glad they changed that dipstick up though.
My 42RE has the dipstick on the distributer side. Really easy to get to.
You see a catastrophic oil leak soaking the bottom of your engine... I see accidental fluid film application.
Now that's looking at the glass of ATF half Full!
That was just the grievous way of saying “hey Dan change my fluid”.
Lol. There was only 3000 miles on that fluid!
Project Dan H lol but jeeps choose when they want things done to them
@@Bulpar you can say that again
i was excited to see another dan h video so fast since the last one...until i read of the disaster...congrats on the roadside fix...your disaster was entertaining to watch if thats any consolation...i see that WJ still there...cant wait to see what youre planning to do with it!
🤣 I was excited too until the disaster.. WJ is on hold till I can get a title for it 😐
Sometimes you just have to go all MacGyver. Nice job!
Lol! Macgyver is my spirit animal 🤣🤣🤣
You can wedge a funnel between the airbox and fender for just this kinda time.
Also, ever thought about doing the 99+ intake manifold upgrade? RockCrawlingJeeps have a good video on their channel.
Great tip! Yes! I have a manifold ready to go! I just need the time 😲 lol
When you get into it... Consider extending the booster hose vs splicing the wires.
@@SuncoastCreate gotcha 👍
Glad happened at day time.
Good attitude.
YEs! Thank you
Well there are better ways to get a transmission flush. But I guess the general wanted to be dramatic
LMAO! Seriously! 🤣🤣🤣
@@ProjectDanH hey at least The General isn't a Karen about getting over priced cheap Gas station ATF.
@@cravenadventures LMAO! I gotta flush her and get that quality +4 🤣
Same thing happened to me but it was a radiator line hitting the ac compressor
Dang man! That's a bad one!
Good vid. I liked your home-made bracket. Also, anyone else notice the blue graphic decal on the Honda at 8:24? 😄
Thank you! I saw that in editing and was really Hoping someone would comment on it 🤣
That is one way to rust proof a vehicle. LOL.
HAHA! True!
I need to go look at the cooler lines on my ZJ now.
scary right?!?
@@ProjectDanH Yes, mine are zip tied to the lower radiator hose but even then they're about a 1/2 inch away from the fan...horrible design....thinking of trying to re-route mine somehow.
@@wildbill23c yea man. I'm guessing my zip tie broke. A ticking timebomb
@@ProjectDanH Definitely. They really just chopped off the cooler lines as short as they could instead of routing them safely away from the fan, going to have to do some modifications to my lines I don't like how close they are to that fan, and zip ties don't last very long in heat/cold conditions anyways, let alone out in the open elements under a vehicle.
I just had an idler pulley failure a few weeks ago that caused a broken serpentine belt and parts and pieces went through the radiator, as well as caused a blown head gasket, about $1300 later in repairs its back on the road but I'd rather prevent stuff from failing than let it go now that I know what those lines are close to YIKES!!
@@wildbill23c OMG.. you went through the mill! Im Glad I could help you avoid another disaster!
Murphy's law...transmission fluid line "snafu". Glad you got it figured out boy scout style. I like the JK wheels and free is a bargain, lol. Attitude determines altitude. Jeep, My Life, lol. Btw, backspacing on those wheels are 6", if they are 18 x 7.5. You may need a spacer/adapter if you bolt pattern is 5.0 on 4.5 on ZJ's and as you probbly know, the bolt pattern on lugs/axle on a JK is 5.0 on 5.0. Bora custom makes the 6061 aluminum, spacer/adapter you may need. In order to get the stance you want and clear brake calipers and lower control arm, etc. You may find that 2.5- 3 inch thick, hub and wheel centric 5x4.5 to 5.0x5.0 will most likely work. Good luck, Gods speed.
yep! you know dave! thanks for the solid feedback!
That's some fancy rust-proofing! I'm currently chasing a PAS leak that is trying to 'protect' my engine bay!
LOL, protect away!
z j are not supposed to break down best jeep ever
LOL. Very funny
Ha! My Ryobi Pressure washer does the same thing.
LMAO! It's such a pice of crap but it gets the job done. I feel like it's gonna crap out any day 🤣
Mines totally different! I have a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee we had to change the transmission lines completely but problem was that the line was disconnected
oh wow! glad it's all fixed!
project dan... does the lower line from radiator back to trans lines connect to upper trans line and vs???.2001 grand cherokee laredo WJ I did not take notice when I removed them .. when i replaced the radiator. THIS IS WHER I am stuck. I worry so.. jeep has been sitting. help a girl out
I'm glad I ran my trans cooler lines under the motor mount for my ZJ. Although on the 5.2 they connect on the passenger side. Btw, I just picked up some 5.9 door panels and the speaker mesh is kinda rusty. Do you know off the top of your head what color spray paint will match? Figured I'd pick your brain before I go shopping.
Hey Rob,. it's ac real easy fix. pop out the speaker grills, the infinity logo, then you can scrub em down and hit em with some semi gloss black 👍
@@ProjectDanH I was more thinking the stock grey, but I could do black.
@@robertgrauman8602 the sky is the limit with paint! Do your thing buddy!
Bad luck on the transmission cooler hose breaking. Good luck on having such a nice ZJ.
Thanks bob 👍always blessed in a Jeep 💪
I ike your show! Very helpful! Greetings from Europe
Nice side of the road fix
Had the help of a good buddy!
Great frigging emergency tranny funnel idea. MacGyver award worthy.
Thanks man, MacGyver is my middle name!
Dan I like your outdoor workbench! Did you ever do a video build on that? I want to build one! 👍
Thanks Brad!!! Sorry no video, maybe I'll showcase it soon
Atf have some mild detergents in them so technically your jeep cleaned it’s engine bay and the parking lot
LOL! Yes it did!!!
Your beards look good my brother 👍
Thanks homie!
I have a pair of Milwaukee scissors and man they cut threw almost anything
Yeah Bro! I'm a total believer now!!
Cool...from Arkansas.
Greetings!
a clean zj yea
Haha!
On the positive side your parts got oiled up everywhere.
🤣🤣🤣 jiffy lubed!
Well, ATF is a detergent so think of it as a really messy way of getting your engine clean :o)
LMAO! So true!!! It's beautiful now 🤣
Hey Dan, my VIC on my 94 ZJ stopped working. I have already checked and reflowed all solder joints but still no luck. Any chance I could send it to you to check for me. I know you have had luck with them before. Thanks.
Unfortunately it may not be the solder Joints.. sometimes they just crap out. I can't test yours because I have a 98... 98,97 and 96 are different then yours 🙁
Dont you have to use Dexron 3 or special atf +4 fluid? MY line sprang a leak took, it took 12 qrts at 5 bucks a piece!
ATF+4 Is the replacement for both
At about the 10:19 mark it looks like you have 3-4 cross bars on your roof rack. Why so many? I assume you pulled them from a pick a part?
Yep, 4! lol I put 4 on all my Jeeps, Even the XK has em now lol. Got the ZJ ones from my "parts ZJ" before i junked it
👍удачи и успехов вам!
thank you!! 💪
Run those Rubber Trans lines on the other side of the bottom Rad Hose Dan.
she's all better now 👍
I hope you see this.. and can help me out
how did you do it can you share with me , thank you
Easy!
Yeaaaaah General
rock n roll baby! 🤙
Have you done the sunroof yet? I have one sitting in my garage, it would be nice to see how to change it.
lol, not yet
Have u ever rebuilt a double carden joint?
Nope, not yet!
Did you ever fix the slipping issue or did this fix it? Also any suggestions for mine? When i get on it it will lose its grab on a gear. 98 4.0 42re
Turns out it was slipping because it was out of fluid lol.. I filled it with ATF+3 and used a half bottle of lucas stop slip... Good as new. Thankfully this trans line mishap was a non issue.
Sell me the general!!!!! lol
Want it?? maybe in the spring of 2022
PLEEEESE
That is a TOUGH way to go bug. ATF... YUCK!
So Gross!!!
What year is this Jeep. I have a '98 and it is the first year the stopped putting auxiliary coolers on them. I have a leaking line and the clamps on mine are totally different.
1998 ZJ special edition
@@ProjectDanH mine is a laredo and it is the lower hose from the radiator that is leaking. Do you need a special tool I remove the metal part from the line?
A threaded fitting*
@@brad300ZXS16 yes. They make special line removal tools
@@ProjectDanH I put a new clamp on it but the hose could still probably use replacing. I will look around and see if I can get one. Thanks.
What a mess lucky it had enough you had enough spare line
yea right? I think ironically the solution was also my problem... what a paradox 🤯
If anyone have a jeep problem call super Dan
Haha! Thanks bro!
its a 6 cyl 4.0
First brazil
