Dude...I've had my X now for two years, did all kinds of work to it, watched all kinds of videos and this is the first time I have come across anyone talking about this. I just thought they didn't put as light in there. Not only that but I've had an under dash light kit for awhile and could never figure out an easy way to hook it up. This opens possibilities. Thanks.

I cannot advise running pure water in a cooling system. Water will corrode your entire system and it’s not a good day. It’s ok in a pinch, but do run some kind of coolant to properly protect your system. Not to mention it provides lubricity to your water pump

Thanks so much for the detailed video, very helpful. I wanted to share one small help I learned which seems to work: When burping the system, squeeze the upper radiator hose a few times because it's the highest point of the system and there will always be air there. Just 4 or 5 or so big squeezes should do it. Thanks again for sharing!

I think that is the most quiet 4.0 engine I’ve ever heard. Is there a specific engine oil you use?

Great video !

Regular water pump? No aftermarket E-fans

Tee-stat... tee sensor. Thermo was one too many syllables for this wordy commentary. Jeep did a crap job designing the XJ for servicing the radiator and the radiator hoses.

I am going insane my jeep stays on for 5 mins and it doesn’t sit in the funnel it shoots out like a volcano so I have to turn it off!! Not sure what’s going on

10:25 The fan clutch with the threaded end is actually not for the 4.0L ZJ. The "ZJ" fan clutch in your video appears to be for the WJ as the 4.0 on those have threaded shafts. The clutch body is identical, though the 4.0L ZJ fan clutch has the same shaft with the 4 mounting holes as the XJ clutch. I think you had the correct part number, just the wrong fan clutch in the box. As for lower radiator hoses, I just transfer the spring from the old one to the new one.

Match it

Love that rig

What kind of light bulb type does the shifter need?

You didn't show replacing the fluid in the overflow tank.

nissan x-terra the best

He seemed to know alot about that clutch but not enough to know that the belt doesn’t need to come off and taking the fan shroud off is the easiest way to get the fan out, otherwise you risk dinging the radiator trying to wiggle it out another way

Awesome XJ... I just picked up a 98' in stone white. How are the road manners of your beadlocks on the highway? And did you use balancing beads in them? Thanks.

Thank you so much....I can't believe it was so simple...I was worried it would be much more complicated....changed my window motor and rear window motir wiper...but this was worrying me all these years...lol..go figure

Awesome, thanks for making a video about this 😬

Thank you so much for this I have a 1998 Jeep kind of like yours I love my Jeep but this is going to help more to take care of my baby thank you so much appreciate it😊👍🙂

Today I learned there are supposed to be lights there.

Why didn't you show the install. Smh

You can add water to dexcool, but it has to be distilled. I’d recommend adding distilled regardless of type but its important with dexcool.

Lose a little bit of braking... Yep, 30% of your braking... if you could stop in 100ft before, now 130ft... Not smart on a 1000lbs rolling down the road..

Excellent tutorial! You made this old woman's day! You saved me the $160 the dealership wanted to charge! ❤

Do you have part # for lower radiator hose with spring I couldn’t find it on Napa website

Got a 98 cherokee that i lut in a .motor but still can't get to run right. It will start and run but its really rough and tack jumps all over the place. Put in top dead center wirh timing mark on zero. Took it to good mechanic and he couldn't get it so i brought it home and trying to figure it out. Anything you could come up with why it won't run.

We have very high temp during the 65% of the year, in Mexico border ,my XJ 2000 never receive a good maintenance during my last 5 years of use ,the cherokee the last year support during 3 hours running trap in high traffic without moving, 5:30pm at 38-39 C , this event and others histories make me see with proud this warrior, after that invest on it to take more care , i dont use A/C in my personal vehicles, but the truck have mounted the system, i decide remove the ac radiator , and runs very vey fine reduce easy the heat more than 1/8 of temp. An under the capo,and have a good fast capacity to cooling when running, the old radiator was dirty and reduce the capacity to refresh ,actually the activation of the electric fan was reduced,🫡💪🏻👍🏼😎 of course you need to be crazy ,to leave the A/C but is not imposible. God bless you .

Thanks Jeremy! I just bought my 2012 Xterra 2 weeks ago & noticed that the shifter light was out. But after watching this video I was able to easily replace the bulb and I didn't even need a screwdriver. Great video, so helpful. Appreciate you! 😁🤙🏽🙏

Great video sir

I worked at a dealership for years, the best flush is the starbright marine grade descaler, I use it every 36 months, and I'm always shocked at the crap it removes from my cooling system, FYI, my engine never gets hotter than spec.

A run a 210

I saw a video of ppl saying you want the fan to spin when you replace it and that an old one if you try to spin it with your hand it won’t spin. I have an old one I’ve been wanting to replace because it makes noise, advice??

What about the coolant reservoir

Thank you very informative

You need to let the man doing the assembly do all the talking

Getting ready to do this on my wife's 2005 glad you posted this video thanks.

Thanks

Awesome info, doing this on my Jeep now. Great video, thanks so much!

So how's it doing 2 years on? I'm having oil pressure issues and think a rebuild is in my future ;)

Thanks for this video. Gonna rebuild a working XJ engine with my kids, investing in the future kinda thing. This is a great start, a wealth of info.

Jeremy! Thank you for this awesome video. I put in the new bulb with the help of your video. Very clear and concise. I'm a 65 year old non mechanical woman and I did it with ease. Thank you! 2011 Xterra, 187K, 4x4, original owner.

Is it a known problem with jeeps running hot

I will admit, when I lived in Moab and a friend came out with an Xterra I was impressed with what it could do the trails we did (me in a Hummer H3) he kept up. . As for Hell's gate, a Kia Telluride did it. It's not as bad as it looks.

H2OH?????? H3O?????

Water is not the best option boiling point is 212 operating time is most of the time 210 I ran water in mine for a few days no problem so you’ll probably be fine if your just flushing the system but I ended up blowing a freeze cap so just use 50/50

Part number for the crown T stat housing ?

What suspension/tire size are you running?

I did everything you said but when it came to adding the 1.5 gallons of coolant and 1.5 of water my jeep only took 1 gallon of each before being full and not letting us add any more. Any insight to why this could be the case would be helpful. It's a 1993 cherokee, 4.0L inline 6.

Bro ripped the kid off, just the wheels and tires alone are worth what you paid 😮

An old trick to clean/flush a radiator is to use automatic dishwasher fluid or gel for flushing. Add about one ounce per gallon into your radiator after flushing out the anti freeze. Drive it around for a few hours and then flush out all the detergent. Add antifreeze and distilled water according to the temperatures in your area.
