****EDIT****
When I mention a Timing belt I mean the SERPENTINE belt! Your vehicle will not run without a timing belt! Thanks for watching!
Oh! You totally freaked me out when you stated to "run your jeep without the timing belt! Not! Not! Not! possible. Jeep 4.0 Liter from 1983 - 2002 uses a Timing Chain. Only years 2002 - 2006 used a Timing Belt. Misidentifying the fan belt to be the timing belt or to tell someone to "run the jeep with the timing belt removed is just a silly statement. Continue to love Jeeps and Carry On!
Yeah I have no idea why I kept calling it a timing belt. 😬
ran to comments to check... because.... That would be a real bad idea.....
Yup 😬
I have owned a Jeep for > 20 years, and this video is very good at discussing common Jeep issues, like the clicking engine sound and the frequent check engine light related to the evap code.
I'm glad to see you still making videos. I've been following your channel for the last 3 years. Keep up the great work. It is appreciated!!
Thanks for being patient with me! More videos on the way!
Without the diagnosis tool, your tj can tell
You the codes. All you do is turn the key to ACC, but dont start the car, and you do that three times without starting the car, and the odometer will show the codes. Very simple. Also, P1281 is a common code, which is thermostat problem
Problem is that there's ALWAYS a code of some kind popping up keeping the check engine light on. After AMC sold out to Chrysler and the others who worked with Chrysler, the Jeep went to hell in a hand bag. Heated seats, heated steering wheels, double din radios with internet are the things Soccer Moms need in a Van, not a Jeep. And then there's those morons who insist on an Angry Eyes grill or some other dumb bolt on shit, and need at least 20 sq.ft. To showcase their Friken Rubber Duckies.
That's a good lookin jeep! Great video man
🤗 thanks man
Great video. Keep em coming.
Appreciate that! Will do!
Thanks man! Keep em comin!
🙏
thx for your interesting facts - especially for the O2 sensor: the original NTKs are almost impossible to get in Europe
That’s interesting! Thanks for watching Bernie!
Thanks for sharing. I've had my TJ for 15 years. Good info can relate...
Appreciate that!
I’m an original owner of a 1997 “spec-ordered” TJ Sport.she now has a tad over 151k on the clock. I’ve had the frame recapped, and both front fenders and windshield frame replaced. The Jeep has been with my family since 1997-all my kids learned to drive “stick” on her….and she’s been on adventures from the Outer Banks to the White Mountains of NH. I have a new Tacoma, a classic Porsche…the wife’s Subaru….but I typically prefer to drive the Jeep! Im giving serious consideration of a complete “frame off” restoration! I want to update the seats and electronics and lights and….etc! We will see, I guess. Great video…thank you.
Love these comments! Thank you sir!
Awesome Jon
😂
Jeeps leak oil in general 😂
Part of their charm.
The TJs ran on the old AMC in-lines. Not tractor motors.
My '97 (original owner) always runs on synthetic.
Ed. Marvel Mystery Oil and Seafoam work great on these old engines.
Awesome video!!!
Very True! Glad you enjoyed!
great vid
Thank You!
I know your video is titled for TJ's but dont forget that the LJ is just a longer TJ but can tow 3500 lbs. Good video, tho 👍.
Yessir, thanks for your comment!
Good info. Could've been a bit more detailed of a video but still good. I love my TJ. I've had her about 5+ years now
Thanks! I do like the green color of your jeep a lot. Really pops
Good stuff .. thx for the info !! GD Tractor
Thanks Adam for being honest with us Dan from Arkansas said that
Appreciate you watching!
Good Job - from Stevensville, Montana
Thank you sir 🙌🏼

You ever wonder how OnX has the money to partner with every TH-camr? One of my recent commenters said he found out OnX partnered with the insurance companies and are giving them info on our driving habits (comment is on my OnX vs GAIA video). If true, that’s wild. Anyway, good stuff here besides the OnX ad 😉
I like your lifter tick picture
😂 thanks
Thank you 💁🏽♀️
All you!
Hi. Thanks for sharing this video with us. Just a question, you called it the timing belt, but did you mean the serpentine belt? TJs have a timing chain, and you don't want to run an engine without a timing belt/chain even if for a few seconds, right?
Yes, serpentine belt, thank you for correcting me on that! Thats my mistake!
tolerances in my TJ is too loose to run synth. Pisses it out on driveway. Went back to oil based snd most of that stopped.
Exactly my point! Not worth running synthetic in these older rigs the majority of the time
You have bad seals/gaskets. 240k on 04 4.0 running 5w40 synthetic. After valvecover gasket and oil pressure switch, no leaks.
@connor3288 That is also possible, but practically speaking, that"s how it reacts. I have a long term project to replace them all.
👏🏻🎉
🤗
It’s a serpentine belt not a timing belt. The 4.0 liter uses a timing chain.
Yeah I realized I misspoke and corrected myself in the pinned comments.
I came across a 2015 unlimited 4x4 6sp man with 89,000 miles. I really want it but is that too much to pay? I had to sell my 95 that I had for 18yrs because the frame rotted out. I'm really on the fence about spending that much money.
How much money are we talking?
@@Montanaoffroad1 17.900
I’m a purest at heart and would rather one a TJ over a newer Jeep personally but if it fits your needs and you can afford it, the price doesn’t sound bad.
@@Montanaoffroad1 I'd be getting 7.500 for my trade so actually be paying 10.000.
Without knowing anything about it, it sounds pretty fair. Jeeps are a blast!
I need a meme here...lol
Not following you 🤣
I mean job
Thanks you sir!
I love my 2004 TJ, but this thing has been nothing but trouble with the crappy electronics they used. I'd love to pull the engine, trans and transfer case and all the wiring and install a AMC 304 cu. In. Engine and 4 spd manual transmission with a Rubicon transfer case. The Jeep I really wanted is a CJ7 with the described drive train I'd swap into the TJ, full doors with crank windows and hardtop. Dana 44's front and rear with 4:56 gears and Detroit Lockers and chrome moly axles. 33 or 35" tires are all I've needed for years and I've owned several Jeeps that went off road a lot. Suspension seats and if possible, A/C. The problem is the cost. I've contemplated buying everything I'd need to build a completely new Jeep. New EVERYTHING ! No computers of any kind except the one used with the Holley Throttle body injection system. And yes, it would have the leaf spring suspension. But, that is my dream Jeep and will probably never happen for me.
Sorry to hear about all of the issues! I haven’t had much of any problems from the electronics perspective but I do know what you are saying! Sounds like it would be an awesome build!
What electronics?! I had a pcm go bad on an 04 wrangler 4.0 5spd, stopped firing #5 injector. Easy to diagnose. Other than engine, don't think ecm is linked to anything else on tj's with a manual trans. Pretty basic electrical system compared to 07 and later ones.
