Bro this video was amazing thank u
I have been watching your channel for 2-3 years. I saw my TJ in the video. If I had seen you, I sure would have hollered at you.
Not sure if I'm coming up there next year. If I do and you see me ... for sure gimme a holler!!
Thanks a lot for sharing this, Chuck. It's a shame most shows don't have many oldie but goodies anymore but it is what it is.
You are welcome! I agree, I was hoping for more YJs and older rigs. Still a fun day out with friends.
🎉
❤😊
Well done sir
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helps!!
And if the gauge does not move?
Then you need to check the gauge its self or start tracing the rest of the circuit for the issue.
It doesnt make a difference to torque them down while the valve is open /closed?
Nope, it doesn't matter at all.
Cool thanks 👌
Nicely Done! You covered everything I needed to see to make this repair without screwing up the dash pad and vent. I also appreciated your use of tools and sense of humor. We're kindred spirits 😊
GOING TO A JUNK YARD MAKE GO NUTS / WHEN YOU SEE A RIDE YOU ALWAYS WANTED THE PROBLEM IS YOU SEE 10 PLUS RIDES YOU WANTED / AND CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT / GOOD LUCK FINDING WHAT YOU NEED
I can just browse junk yards all day long!
I just bought a used 2010 F 150 that has this problem. Your video is the first one to show there is an upgrade replacement part vs a Micky Mouse repair. The part you mention is out of stock on Amazon but they have a very good upgrade which I ordered. Thank you again for a helpful and quality video.
What year is this truck I have a 2004
Its a 2005
Got a pair for $40.00 at the junk yard like new fit perfect 😊
You got a great deal!! Hope you enjoy them and hope the video helped you.
What are you running for differentials? Lunchbox in the front and limited slip in the rear?
I'm running (the YJ) a Ford 8.8 limited slip rear and D30 Spartan locker front with the CAD collar locked in place with hose clamps. Some people talk smack about the hose clamp mod but I've been running it for years like that with no issues. I'll eventually do the solid axle swap when I feel froggy but the hose clamps work fine so I haven't been in any rush.
@@Poweraddicts yeah man people talk all kinds of nonsense. I’ve been wheeling for years and have seen that done without issue on many rigs. I did one for a friend by moving the small snap ring on the fork rod and it worked great for years. I have a 94 and the vacuum system is still actually working! Hahaha..can’t believe it but it does. Keep the videos coming 👍
My shifter feels loose . It will go in gear fine but in gear you can wobble the shifter back and forth. What’s worn out? Thanks
There is a plastic bushing below where the shifter bolts into the transmission, it could be worn. Its pretty easy to replace. Just unbolt the 4 bolts holding the shifter to the transmission. Pick up the shifter from the transmission you sill see the bushing. Unsnap the old ... snap on the new and reinstall the shifter and boots.
@@Poweraddicts thanks!!
You went through some deer and turkey country
Hmm I need some more deer in the freezer 🤔. I'm getting low 😁.
Looks like a fun day!
It sure was!!

Was the frame on jeep ok
I've got a slight crease in my skid plate, but still doing just fine. Thanks for checking out the video!!

Chuck that’s all I’m running on my yj is 31
With good driving technique you can lots of places with just 31's. Thanks for checking out the video!!

Any problems that could happen with me. Taking this thing out. I have to strip out the whole vehicle. All the interior is out now.- So I can get the Mouse nest out of it. A lot of work to get to the air vents
I've take a several airbags out AFTER disconnecting the cables from the battery and haven't had any issues. In the playlist where this video resides as well I have videos removing all the dash stuff. The airbox can be a pain to remove because the studs that co through the firewall can start turning as you turn the nuts. Here is the playlist, hope it helps! ua-cam.com/play/PL8Fz_3RM9QXaeVAK84OWYtSl1ObNR70FQ.html
Excellent video! I've been struggling with those brake caliper bolts. Next brake job I'll remember this video. Thank you very much for a great informative video!!!
You are very welcome! Glad the video helped.
'04 WJ threw a piston skirt and, after 3 JEEPS, I'm DONE and on to a more reliable vehicle family: Toyota. You Jeepers just keep on Jeepin'!!
I am a big Toyota fan as well!! The era of the 22R engines ... those trucks are a beast!! Stack transfer cases and you have a rig that will climb walls!! I'm not a fan of any V6 Jeep engines, they have so many design flaws in my opinion. Now, the straight 6 Jeep engines .. I have beat those engines hard and they just keep going!! Have fun with your Toyota, I'd buy one as well if I come across one for the right price. I'd love to have a Samurai as well. I need therapy .. I've got a off-road rig addiction. :-)
This guy is sooo cool, Thanks fort the education, Easy peesie, and I wont forget to not get froggie lol
A welded up differential is called a "Lincoln Locker" named after the red welding machine. 🙂
Yep! That would be the correct answer! That big red welding machine is the old Lincoln AC-225 stick welder, also known as "The old Tombstone" welder. Thanks for taking the time to answer the trivia question!
I am reassembling and the plate shown at 10:12 spins when the ignition pin drops. Any suggestions on how to get it to stay put?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for dropping in!!

Glad the video helped you! Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment.
Mine would have been even faster if the last owner hadn't broken the dash bezel! Thx for the vid.
Some people just get in a big hurry and break stuff. You are welcome, I hope the video helped!!
I have never seen a Detroit locker come in a 14 bolt, I have had 3x Gov lockers and about a dozen open over the years of flipping trucks and building off road rigs. Orb of traction.
I've never found one in the junkyard yet. I've seen one in a 76 1-ton SRW, I was told that it was in there from the factory. From what information I've found, Detroits were only available from early to late 70's 14 bolts. After that it was open diffs and Gov lockers.
Your video saved me! My yj has been acting up a bunch lately. Might be TJ time soon for me
Hey Chuck I I got a f250 when I back up or turn hard slowly I hear clicking is that a locker
Very well could be. An open diff doesn't make any sounds. Only way to know for sure it to jack up the rear axle and do the test I showed in the video..
@@Poweraddicts yep I just been lazy an have not did that
Funny and cool abut that tin can speaks 😅, I actually had enjoyed the video, very informative. Thanks a lot.

aren't you required to have a fog light on a trailer in the US?
Brake, tail, and turn is all that is required in my area. I can't speak for all states, but in Tennessee I'm good to go. Thanks for checking out the video! Have a great day!!
Word-- SPLIT LOOM for ALL wires running under the trailer. The wiring insulation is never meant to be a wear barrier. That job belongs to the split loom.
I know what split loom is. I've got rolls of a few different sizes. Split loom works great under the hood where everything is protected. I have severed split loom with sharp metal cutting it. Split loom allows water, mud and other debris inside the split. I want to throw junk cars, Jeeps, motorcycles, raw steel supplies ... whatever ... on it and get the job done. I'm going after a YJ frame in the morning. That trailer has been dragged through many grown up fields to get cars and lots of other beat up junk. I've had sticks snatch the wiring harness from under it while in split loom. I don't want to have to baby it looking after some thin plastic cover. Running the wires through tough flexible tubing allows sealing each end to protect it. The thick tubing protects it from cuts and abrasion. Thick tubing can be clamped solidly to the frame with metal cable clamps. I use split loom inside the interior, under dash, or even under the hood where it is pampered and protected. Not under my trailer or my Jeeps where they are subjected to rocks, sticks, water, mud and who knows what else. But .. thanks for the suggestion and thanks for checking out the video.
@@Poweraddicts I recently rewired mine and actually ran the wiring through electrical conduit bolted tightly to the frame. I had the luxury of setting the trailer on its side to better access everything. Put a new floor on it, too. Treated the wood with a used oil/desiel mixture before installing. The old pressure treated wood only lasted about 5 years. Good luck with the YJ.
@@research903 I've got about 80 feet of electrical conduit. I needed my trailer asap so I really didn't have time to do that. That is a very good idea, it would protect the wiring very well. When I first got that trailer the wood was rottening out and was missing in some places. I put that steel floor in and never looked back. Thanks!!
Great how to and tips. Thanks for the video!
You are welcome and glad you enjoyed the video and tips!!
Good work! Thank you for sharing. We did an engine swap on our 95 YJ a few years ago ill never forget!
Most of the time they go fairly smooth. Then ... there are those other times like this video .. wheew!! Thanks for dropping in!! Have a great day!!
I want to add one accessory fuse box for leds and such, if I have it connected from the battery, will it drain my battery when lights are not in use? Sorry if it's a stupid question.
Nope .. its a very good question. If you put the LEDs on the "switched" circuit it shouldn't drain your battery. If you wire the "constant on" fuse block you will have to add switches to your LEDs to prevent draining the battery. Hope this helps!!
@@Poweraddicts thank you, it does help.
This is great for separating switched and constant power. Would you use dedicated relays for the different accessories as needed?
You can just keep the total load in mind to prevent adding too much to this added circuit.
Thanks for the great video. I recently purchased a 92 YJ 2.5L for $300 that had been sitting for some years because some bozo tried to steal it and broke the barrel lock. I repaired that and have begun trying to bring this old rig back to life. I replaced plugs, wires, cap & rotor etc. I also siphoned a bunch of old bad gas out of the tank but would like to do this to get it really empty. I set this up using your instructions and it worked great for about 15 seconds before the fuel pump quit pumping. I'm still getting power at the 30 pin, but no action at the pump. Any idea what I am doing wrong? maybe the fuel pump is flaking out? I'd love your insight before I drop the tank and swap a pump for no good reason. The sender does not appear to be working so maybe the pump/sender unit is kaput?? Thank for any guidance.
Question can I fill my transmission fluid from the shift stick , bc I can’t take out the filling plug
Yep, I've done it a couple of times.
My Speedo was squeaking, badly. I just took it apart and greased it up. Noise went away.
Glad you got it fixed!!
This is exactly what I needed. I was stressing over having to recharge my a.c. This made my day. Thank you
Its kind of a pain, but saving the freon makes it worth it!!
