True heat testing is just sitting with the air on. Something you will notice if you sit for awhile, then turn it of, is when you come back to start it, it runs crappy, it’s called heat soak, it’s just cuz after you turn it off, the heat just sits in there and can’t escape, you can elevate the hood or just do vents in the hood. Fun stuff. Easy once you know it all, I’m sure you already know those things.
I was a little confused about the tensioner pulley as well, I think they said that some models had a pulley and some models had the kind of tensioner that works by loosening and tightening a screw. I wanted to stick with OEM parts because I’ve heard that’s the best way to go with these things. Thanks for watching!
Cool Jeep. I miss driving mine as a daily (new company Truck). I have a new head liner just waiting on cooler weather, 106 today. I painted my end caps after watching a Vid on here and they came out perfect, but they only lasted a year or so.
Thanks! I thought about painting the end caps but I figured getting brand new ones would be a more permanent solution and look more OEM, thanks for watching!
ive been looking at the 4 hole injector upgrade for my XJ, never knew anything about the 12 hole injector upgrade. now you got me questioning what i should do haha
@@mattshafer6644 thanks for the info, from what I've seen the 12 hole injectors only seems to "work correctly" with a cold air intake setup. Just what I read on the XJ forums not sure if it's credible.
@@xIrHaxor that and some people had to reprogram their pcm as well, ( not 100% sure why) but was told that the pcm wasn't excepting the new injectors and wouldn't set the fuel mixture correctly.
@@mattshafer6644 hmm interesting, i was originally planning on doing the 4 hole to begin with, the 12 hole looks annoying pre 99 with the wiring and what not which mine is a 96. unless i see someone with a pre 99 do the swap with no issues ill probably do the 4
Yeah the electric fan working on these is insanely important. I just replaced mine again, literally super important and crazy how sensitive these are to one single cooling item not being up to par.
U don't need a head gasket unless it's blown, and it ain't blown or it would be missing or steam out the exhaust that's just a mechanic trying to make money !!!!

Learn Learn Learn!!! These Jeeps are so easy to work on… I have the exact same Jeep.. love it!
I definitely would’ve attempted to do this stuff myself if I had a garage space and tools, someday it’ll happen. Thanks for watching!

Looks like I was getting some heat soak then. Appreciate it!
I'm not aware of a tensioner Pulley on these motors. Gad you got it fixed. OEM parts do raise repair costs.

I haven’t really looked into it at all but I’ve heard of some people doing the 12 hole ones as well
Go with 4 hole injectors, you will actually run into issues with the 12.

Definitely made a noticeable difference after I replaced mine as well
I never thought of the rust from the hose spring, you damn well don’t want bits of spring going through the cooling system damn
Very true
Looking forward to new content 👍🏻
Thanks!
Damn son,for $1200 you could of bought another XJ.😂😂😂
Don’t be giving me any ideas😂
and then he'd have to do all of this again lol
Have you tried driving the Jeep in 4 low in trails at only 3-5 mph, that’s a real test.
I have not. I think it would be fine though
Nice 👍
Thanks!
How come you didn't make the repairs yourself?
I probably would have attempted to do this myself if I had a garage space and tools. Hopefully someday🤷🏼♂️
@@KCars oooo ok yea those would have been cool how to videos.
Agreed
He works on cars naked and can’t post that on TH-cam.
Got OF for that
What kinda mpg do you get?
I’ve never calculated it so I’m not sure
roanoke virginia?
NoVa

They told me it’s just something to look out for in the future since the coolant level was very low when they flushed it
Head is not cracked?
Nope
You need a 180 tstat
I got it replaced with an OEM one and it’s been running great since then
