hope all is well man. I wanted to say thank you for your videos. I watched them over the years, and recently I had a 4.7l 07 commander drop a valve. all your videos inspired me to go to the junk yard and find a 08+ engine, and do a swap! now the damn thing moves like never before!
If these cars could tell their stories, when I lived in Vegas I use to visit the wrecking yards all the time, happy thanksgiving Martin 👍😁
Happy Thanksgiving. Glad to see you back making cool videos. Thanks.
Thank you I'm glad you like them.
Good to see you back. I wish that Commander would have had both rear view mirrors on it.
Hey Martin, again, glad to see you back!! Thanks for the video!
I'm glad you liked it.
Happy Thanksgiving Martin love the channel. Stay safe
This place is my creativity paradise. Very good Martin!
Yeah, I love going to pic a part. It's definitely worth a dollar to get in.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving Martin. I'm hiding in a spare room from the in-laws watching car repair videos. 😂
Hey, 03' WJ owner from Sweden. Big fan of your videos! It's been a while, I hope all is well with you.
Thanks Martin.Happy Thanksgiving my friend...
Thank you Dan
Hello Martin, love your videos. Very interesting and insightful. I have a 2004/05 Dodge Ram 1500 4dr 4WD with the 4.7L wish there was someone closer to me that was like you. Been doing a few upgrades and updates to my Ole girl. Also looked for you on the ole facebooks but couldn't find ya.
Brings back memories. Im a 30 plus years Vegas boy. When I was there it was dirt. I spent some time at that pick a part.😁
Yeah I remember when it used to be dirt there too.
Us to live in kingman az use to end up in Henderson but now we live further down the way in Rio Rico az glad we got pull a part in Tucson for all my Dakota rt parts
Hello Martin,
Hope you are doing well. Myself and others miss your wisdom. Take care.
Yeah I'm doing pretty good just been busy on the new place. Sorry for the lack of content. I have shot a few videos. Just haven't had the time to sit down and edit them.
Good to see your putting out videos Martinbuilt. How’s the new shop !
Yeah the shop is coming along, it's more about adding insulation by bringing the walls from 2 inches thick to 8 inches right now.
We see XJs all the time here at my local pick n pull. Without being rolled or totaled lol
Same here....there are tons
@@Kolonol1 not for long......
@@will7its why do you say that? There has almost always been tons of them in there
@@Kolonol1 In a few years they will all be crushed. Pick a part only keeps these for a few months. Get your parts now.
Rumor has it Martin built a rocket to rival Space X and was last seen rounding Sweeps-11…
Miss your content man…
gtsy happy thanksgiving
I'm sure that my '99 Dakota tailgate is somewhere in there...Thanks for posting!
What about the rest of the truck?
Lol
@@martinbuilt Worked all my summer vacation on it... :)) Stripped the entire cabin and washed/cleaned everything, sound proofed it with Killmat. Put new Goodrich AT KO2 tires, a Tonneau cover on it...Purchased most of the front steering parts and a new Magnaflow Force II exhaust system that I plan to install before taking it to alignment. The frame is in excellent condition still keeping the original paint and just a few specs of rust that I'll remove and repaint. The hood has a dimple by the grille which is more difficult to fix but the tailgate has a few and it's easier to replace than fix in case I'm lucky enough to find one... Feeling encouraged by the YT videos and your videos I plan to do all the work by myself ..5.2L engine;for its 210K miles the truck runs great and smells "new" inside ...😁
That XJ looks like it got tumbled the whole way there
When you are 50% sure you can beat a train... 😏
My local pic-a-part has them up on stands
Yeah this one they take 2 steel wheels 1 laying down and the other standing up and then they're welded together it works quite well.
Martin, good to see you again posting. You id a video on the 4.7L re-routing the engine vacuum air lines and installing a new oil fill so it didn't get that white gunk. Which video was that?
Yeah, I'm trying. Here's the one that you're looking for.
th-cam.com/video/omr0lfU8LFc/w-d-xo.html
Idk if this is your thing or not but it would be amazing to see you do a wj or some sorta jeep offroad build somtime, your knowledge would be able to help so many of us who are new
I do have my 98 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) that is built for off road.
Which I have owned for over 12 years.
@@martinbuilt oh nice! maybe a walk around on it somtime? if u havnt already done one
Hey Martin, doesn't seem you've been on Facebook in a while. Would love to grab a valve spring compressor!
I am driving a 01 Durango 4.7 engine and was wondering if you know what wheels I can use to replace mine, that is a 6 studs pattern. I was wondering if any other Dodge like the Ram will work for me. Thanks for your channel, I am happy with my Durango and will like to do some improvements to it.
I was thinking about getting the OE 20x9 Polished wheels. I was very hesitant cuz I'm not sure they will bolt on my basic model 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo without any rubbing or having to do any moding. Then I came across your channel with your WJ walk around and you have those wheels and tires, but black. Awesome!
If i get the same rims and tires as you (polished ones for me) will they be plug and play or will i have to do anything?
Thank you and I'll be waiting for your next video.
Yeah, those wheels and tires will bolt right up with just the ever so slight bit of rubbing on the front inter fender well. And keep in mind that my jeep has been lowered one inch.
Thank you for watching I appreciate your support.
@@martinbuilt Thank you for the response. I prob won't lower mine like you did. I have other ideas. I am 55 years old and appreciate your vids. I think at this point your fans appreciate any vids you post about what yer up to at your new shop and anything Jeep. I miss you and I'm new. Lol
Are you doing okay Martin? Long time no see…
Yeah, i'm doing okay. Thank you for asking. I've been terribly busy with the new place. And it's just hard to do any content as of right now.
Great videos appreciate your work. I left you a comment on your jeep crank shaft sensor video- I hope you can help me with.
Hi Martin, will a Dana 44 out of a 87 XJ bolt right on a 97-01 XJ?
Hey Martin I wanted to ask if it's possible to put calipers from WK 5.7 or even the brembos that had the 6.1 from the WK generation on my WJ 4.7 HO
Hey Martin I got a question I'm real familiar with the 4.7 in the 2002-2005 model ram my question the latest 2011 firing 16 plugs would I be able to put this in my truck if I can also get the wiring harness which the guy has my truck is a 2003
Martin I got a question for you. I live in Vegas and just bought a 2004 Dakota. It has no engine light on, but the OB2 has been sliced and wired back together except for 2 wires. The relay is missing too. Do you have the wire diagram? I just went to the Lamb pic a part and got a connecter from there. I tried anyways but failed smog. Im sure they are hiding engine codes once it works.
I do not have a wiring diagram for that, but I suggest you could get another connector with a pigtail and slice all the wires back into the vehicle.
Hey was wondering if you could help me out? I have a 2002 ram 1500 with a bad 4.7 I also have a 2002 jeep grand cherokee overland with the 4.7 ho. Can these motors swap with no problems
What was that dodge on the left before the bird Martin?
Hi Marin, how are you doing? Hope everything is okay over there . . . .
Everything is going well I've just been spending a lot of time trying to fix up the new shop.
Thank you for asking.
Where did you go martin.... missin the videos especially the wj vids
Are you planning on installing a shift kit and Torque converter in the WJ? I just finished doing it and well worth it.
Yes, I am planning on doing that as well. Which torque converter did you go with?
after you installed your ati damper how much higher were your highway coolant temps?
I'm running dual derale fans and its getting warmer than I like. Before it was 185, not I'm seeing 195-200
Do you check your comments?
@@seanpresto5111 I live in Vegas and need a tranny built for my radical 4x4 2002 WJ. Do you know a shop that has experience with these bad boys? Are you for hire?
LOTS more GC's than my yard
Hi Martin, Its been a bit since ur last build. I hope ur well(we all do!). I hva a question from the past...On thw WJ knuckle swap. I hve been recently seeing/reading (w/ball joints) people are not using xj uppers & wj lowers. What I've been seeing/reading (forums/posts) is JK ball joints. Can U confirm this? Is this false. If true are they beefy-er. Thank U, jasonC
@martinbuilt I have a 00 WJ with the inline 6. Is it possible to swap in a v8 or would it be way too compiicated due to the engine computer, motor mounts, tranny, etc?
I'm sure it's possible the hardest part would be to get the correct wiring harness and ECM. You'd also need to replace the transmission as well it may be better to just find another Jeep with the V8.
You can't beat that Is straight 6 for reliability.
@@martinbuilt I appreciate the feedback.. Thanks.. I figured that it'd probably more trouble than it's worth..
When are you going to work ford econoline van , 2011e350 5.4 2valve , supper duty van xlt conversion for the campervan folk ? ?
Are you done ?
Hey Martin do you work on anyone's car? Or just your own? Because I am in need of some help with my 2003 dodge dakota 4.7l just some diagnosing and I would pay you for your help obviously and also I do live in las vegas.
Always #1 cylinder...
I've actually seen quite a few on the number 2 cylinder.
Best way to contact? I'm in LV.
Lost 3rd/4th on 545RFE. Did usual transmission overhaul, new filters, speed sensors (2), governor sensor, solenoid pack, filters and fluid. Same code.
I know this is gonna seem unrelated but you may want to try changing out the throttle position sensor.
@@martinbuilt I've heard crazier. At 200k miles, looking at replacing some items anyways. PM me, moving back to LAS ...
What tools, did you use to rebuild the 545rfe?
@@danielguerra626 I had a shop do it. Process of moving and needed it done ✅.
All the clutches were burnt out. Tranny guy was wondering how it even moved.
@@danielguerra626 Problem is typically one of 3 things 2 are easy, 3rd is a rebuild. The easy items are honestly hand tools. Sockets, extensions T25 torx if I recall. Usual shifting issues are the 3 sensors (helps shifting) and valve body, $300. I HIGHLY recommend changing the pan to a drainable version and using a good gasket (no RTV). Took me 1.5 hr due to 4x4 and getting the cross brace back in.
1. Change the 2 filters and fluid
2. Valve body a) pressure plate or b) replace
3. Burnt out clutches which requires transmission replacement or overhaul.
How common are the dropped valve seats
I would imagine it's more common where the climate is extremely hot like here in Las Vegas and as long as you maintain your vehicle and definitely make sure it doesn't overheat I don't think you'd ever have a problem.
Thank you I been lucky so far 250k miles
where are all the XJs gone ? The value of the remaining ones should move up now 😊
I think they're all here in Pahrump Nevada. I swear Pahrump got the most X j's with around 42k population I've ever seen before.
I would love to get all the XJ owners together here and do a video on just how many there are.
Have a question about my 99 Grand Cherokee Limited
yes whats up
@@martinbuilt should my blend doors have power when my jeep is fully off they are calibrating themselves also when my jeep is running.
Gonna guess all the hemi’s will be pick cleaned
Any SAAB at that place ?
Yeah at this particular salvage yard they put them in with the Volvo's BMW and Mercedes.
I need a nice black right Dakota/Durango fender
Wish I had caught you about 3 days ago...I just sent a set of them to the scrapyard....
I could really use those gray Rubicon wheels…. Would you snag those for me?? Lol guess I’m too late…
Are you ok its been a while
Where's Milo? 0:33
I'm trying to sell 2 sets of HO cams and heads....figured it would be easy to sell them....nope....I can't find anyone wanting them :( I've got 2008 cams in my Dakota and Durango now and don't need the 2004 sets anymore...
I think the hemi killed the 4.7 off probably.....
@@will7its I don't understand why still...the 4.7 is so much more reliable than the 5.7. that's one motor that I'll never own...those are junk...can't wait to get my 4.7 built and back to the track to run some hemis though XD
Them jeeps are way to heavy for the 3.7L
Yeah 4.7 or a Hemi would seem more suitable
When the Durango fist came out they claimed to have a 3.9 as an option. Never seen one ever.
Its sad seeing all those Jeeps sitting there.
Yes, and almost every one of them not once spec of rust on them.
Pigeons are rats with wings.
Yes they are.
