Love car . Hate wheels.

Nice project car, it was the best car on the road back when it was new and was the longest coupe at 231 inches. I have a 1978 Mark V , all original and in beautiful condition, drive to car shows and always the only Mark V there. I’ll be watching your progress on your 79. Cheers from Ontario, Canada

I just did this on my 2013 Accord and I did remove the entire throttle body, you see people on KZbin spraying inside their engine that’s definitely not recommended also the relearn process is as simple as just disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes then leaving the car run for 10 to 20 minutes and the relearn process will be done. Don’t waste your money at the dealer

Not sure why u even made this video. Just to show off you know how to do it. Cuz that video does not help anybody looking to do this.

How many miles were on the vehicle

Total hours?

How do you unhook the electrical?

Nice rig. Can you tell me anything about those rims? I've got actually Ford steelies right now and would like that setup you have.

The background music makes it impossible to hear what you're saying.

any burning oil problem ?

After using both of them for long period, which do you think is better in terms of quality and reliability?

What size driveshaft does the truck have ?

So I’ve replaced all brake components ( booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve, rear drums complete rebuild) I still have to floor it to break. I have to pump it on or off to build pressure (in park) I try to bleed it but no pressure stays. What can I do ?

This is a good video, I found this helpful. 2 years later, how is it holding up? I'm thinking of getting one of these for my 2013 Toyota 4Runner, in the 10K rating.

What’s mpg on that suburban with 8.1.

Here's a tip for everyone, since you have taken off the air filter box with the MAF sensor attached, get some MAF sensor cleaner and spray the sensor (not the outer part of the sensor where the wire clips on) and inner parts of the air duct.

So is there people that acutally clean it without removing

Explain the part where you said if you wait to nothin works

So how long does this job take removing abd installing

Working ac??

130.00$ seems cheap instead of this.

Did you not have to notch frame. Could i get a complete parts list to make this happen. Next summer my k30 will get an 8.1 or 6.0, whatever is cost effective.

Thanks Pete....

My 98 xj was just diagnosed with #3 cylinder broken valve spring and bent valve. My Jeep mechanic is based in Clearwater so the new cylinder head came from Clearwater. I’d appreciate any input. Mechanic hasnt officially quoted me yet, just sent some pictures. What questions should I ask? How much is too much to pay for repair? At what cost should I cut my losses and look into selling? I paid about 1600 for my xj 2 years ago. Other than this issue and broken water pump that was replaced I haven’t had any issues. Ive replaced cat converter, spark plugs, Cps, o2 sensors, new belts, etc. plus had like $2000 worth of repairs/upgrade when I first got her. Sorry if some of that info is irrelevant..I’m a girl new to the world of xj. I wish I had a father who knew vehicles like you I would have loved to work on projects like you and your daughter do… knowledge about vehicle mechanics is such power…I wish I knew more

Im having the same problem where the rear passenger window doesnt work.... i checked and it's not the motor because it work's when i connected or to my cordless drill battery... i may have to try this....

Part numbers ?

How did u run power to the switch I’m trying to figure this out

Have you compared coolant temps with and without the rad shroud now that you have added more cooling with the extra fan?

Hey bud what kinda distance have you gotten on that remote

That music is horrible. You cant even hear you over it.

Why couldn't you use the Allison transmission just curious because I'm about to do the same swap on my square body suburban but I know the truck I'm pulling it all out of is a beast of a four-wheel drive. With that truck I have yet to get stuck or find anything I can't pull out figured what better combination than to put in my suburban that has 40" swappers!! Thought she would for sure be unstoppable.. is there a specific reason why it can't be used or is it just your personal application..thought I'd inquire before I get too deep into the project lol.

definitely thinking about doing this to my 1987 420SEL !!

LOL it's supposed to be at the junkyard in the sky 😂 good ol Ford

I bought one of these used from a wreck but it was just the winch, no solenoid, wires, fairlead roller or remote. Do I have to buy the expense Smitty solenoid or are there cheaper options?

Hey do you know the identification number for this transmission? Needing mine replaced and the shop needs the number. If you do, thanks. I’d appreciate that more than you’d know

Hey love the video. Do you by chance know the identification number for the transmission? Needing mine replaced and the shop is asking for an id number for this same tranny you got, if it’s 2wd. I don’t have my tranny anymore so I can’t go out and look. I know it has the “md8” but believe they need the actual id number/ vin whatever you call it lol. If you got the number I’d appreciate it

Did you have to end up putting in a proportioning valvd?

Did you use the original metal clips that fit into plastic housing( where wire conects to switch)? Or how did you conect wire to switch?

this is actually helpful dont listen to these people who needs lil baby steps just the knowledge of getting that side of the hose by removing the battery was enough info to make this job easier

I tried replacing the fuse and that did not work. Where did you order the solenoid / control box? I find a universal control box but do not know for sure that it works on the Smittybuilt winch. Thanks

still liking it after a year?

I used cheap e bay electric gauges on my ‘73 c10 when i put a LS in it, i was able to make them fit in the stock bezel and got all custom gauges for under $150 or so…but yeah i was gonna do the torque app with a tablet as well but i couldnt figure out how to link the damn thing…..awesome build you have there ive owned 2 of them square body suburban 4x4’s one a 1500 and the other a 2500…both 350 small block trucks … personally i liked the 1500 better….but im sure had my 2500 had a 8.1 swapped in it my feelings would have been diffrent….for the record my eagle 230 eliminator (boat) has that same vortec 8.1 in it, and it is an 80mph boat all day, as long as i have my trims dialed in….i love it!!!

im doing the same swap. where did you hook up the fuel return on the 8.1?

Did the other door switches work before you replaced the driver switch?

None of my switches work other then driver passenger and it only goes down

Needed to see the wiring connections...took mine apart &not sure of all connections. Can you do or show wiring connections inside box?

Can’t you clean it with someone stepping on the gas pedal then reaching inside with a rag?

Did your castle nut and cotter pin come off at the y link while driving because mine did… luckily I was turning into my driveway when it did happen

You wouldn't happen to have the part numbers for the AC and Alternator brackets? thanks
