Make sure you use assembly fluid wherever you can. Don’t want to pinch on o-ring.

Some people got the money. Its just hard to justify a $1200 repair on a $2500 car.

I appreciate that!

Thank you. I appreciate your comment.

Yes, I did, later than this video happened. Check out my other content or the Pentastar Playlist.

I have two videos on that topic. The first one I removed the plastic part and installed the shifter back into the vehicle. That let me shift anytime like what you are describing. This video shows how I put an aftermarket part back in that puts that "safety feature" back in. What happens, you should not be able to shift without putting your foot on the break. It sounds like you either didn't install that part correct or it may have slipped and bypasses what it's supposed to do. If I had small kids who I leave in the car, that safety feature is a must. However, in my case, I am okay without it. If this bothers you. Remove the gear shifter again, take it apart and make sure that part is in the correct orientation. The way this works. When you have key in the ignition, it provides power via a power cable to the shifter. Then when you step on the brake, the solenoid pushes against the plastic/metal replacement part and pushes the lockout pin out of the way enabling you to shift. Your replacement part does not properly lock your shifter back into place. Again, it's really a personal preference. Your car should properly shift without any issues, just your lockout in the shifter assembly doesn't work.

Thank you very much for your reply. You are right. I don’t have any kids in the car to worry about for the time being. However I’ll make a note to go in again and identify the part you are talking about, or check the solenoid. Thanks 🙏

I promise, it’s 99.99999% not the solenoid. I’m glad at least your car is drivable again.

I don’t think so. It’s right where it needs to be.

Wow, that is absolutely nuts. And then they'll fit another plastic one in there. Thanks but no thanks. It's easier than it looks. Make sure you torque correctly in in-lb and ft-lb. Some people made mistakes there.

@Turbo_Snail thanks for the heads up I gotta buy a torque wrench yet but I'll get it!

@frank7131989 I put a link in the description with some cheap ones that work. Can’t go wrong with harbor freight either. They have proven reliable for me.

no, I did not drain coolant or oil before starting. I did an oil change right afterwards. Now, I put about 30k miles on the car and still everything is perfect.

That's actually not too bad but this is an easy one.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks you. It means a lot.

is that why they RIPP coils keep failing?

I understand, some people don't get it.

@Turbo_Snail other video helped a ton thank you.

Thanks

Thanks. Yeah it takes a bit of work to save $1600

Yes. I always ask Siri or google to convert. I was thinking to just do like the rest of the world and do nm going forward. I have gotten nasty comments from people who couldn’t tell in/lb and ft/lb apart and I admit it’s very confusing. The problem is, I’d need to buy new torque wrenches. That being said, the oil filter cap and the plastic intake specifies things in newton meters and cars almost 10 years old. It’s time to switch. But yes, google is your best friend doing conversions.

Thank you!

Uh. I didn’t know mishimoto made one too. I guess it was just a matter of time. Yes, this is holding up excellent. I actually just checked this weekend and it’s perfect. No difference in performance. The bracket on the back is still there and I hate removing the nut from there but I’ll keep it stock. Let me know how your install goes.

I’m glad it helped :)

I did an oil change right afterwards. If there isn’t any cross contamination, perhaps it’s not necessary. If you’re close to a change anyways, I would say just do it.

I don't mind not having this safety feature in it. Some people think it's dangerous. I for one don't let 3 year olds drive my car so it should be okay. Basically if you remove that, you don't have to step on the brake anymore to shift out of park. Can it be dangerous? Perhaps? But that is up to you to decide whether this is a feature you must have. If you do, follow my link and buy a metal version of that plastic part from Amazon. It's okay enough if you want to put it in.

thank you my friend thanks to you I saved 150 dollars In Poland such a service costs I will tell you that it is safe without it, because nothing will block you anymore, and with this plastic maybe something can always block you in my opinion it is made so that the car is not stolen it is primarily a protection against car theft, or maybe it is made of plastic specially so that in case of emergency it can be broken manually because you will not break the metal one maybe that is the whole philosophy, Thank you again my friend how many people are happy with you how much good you have done for everyone it is a pity that I cannot send you a picture of my S class, because it is really beautiful maybe I will find your email and send it to you Once again warm greetings Waldek 👋🏾

I think, like on a manual where you need driver input to shift to a certain extent, you need a driver to push the brake to shift out of park. This way a passenger doesn't shift mistakenly. When you drive manual you usually pull the e-brake, however, automatic drivers often dont do that. Here in the USA, this service would be over $1000 as the dealer will not fix the broken plastic but install a complete new shifter. $150 sounds a lot more reasonable than what they do over here. Yes, I would love to see your ride. I enjoy seeing what other people do to their cars. I'm from Austria so I'm used to people working on the body, the interior and a bit on the engine. Here most cars just have crazy engine work and very little on the outside. I enjoy watching KZbin videos from Wolfgangsee where they have several meets a year, even back in the day when I used to live there. I'd love to visit and perhaps participate in such an event again. Please email me @ [email protected]

The first time I installed it dry, I pinched the seal and broke it. So ever since then I use assembly fluid. That also happened to me when I did o-rings on fuel injectors. Fuel sprayed everywhere. So now I’m rather safe.

Yes. That’s correct. A simple leak develops and then the pump runs until it times out. I guess it overheats and eventually just dies. We could hear ours operating for a while until it finally broke. The funny thing is, once we changed the pump the leak cured itself. Maybe it was the pump that was leaking after all.

Thank you!

You’re welcome. Hope it helped.

Reprogram? How? Not necessary.

Hm. Tough to say. If in doubt, flush it out.

@@Turbo_Snail I will, specialy now that when removing the housing coolant flooded the base and oil and coolant when down on the holes

@jlucena100 yeah. You just have had a lot of oil in there. Probably more than I did. Good luck. I hope it goes well.

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped you out.

Assembly fluid. Check the description for a product link.

@@Turbo_Snail thanks

Thats the piece that cracks and wont engage the solenoid to release the brake lever. Check my other video, I replaced it with a metal piece.

I’m glad (hope) it helped.

I bet the 2018 Cherokee has a lot of space to work in. That oil filter housing is such a PITA!

Mine just failed at just over 100k on my chrysler pacifica 2017. def using this to replace is as I took it to a repair garage and they quoted me 2000$ for this coils and plugs...

@@Turbo_Snail it does! The orientation of the pentastar 3.2L makes it easier to replace than other models.

@frank7131989 yea definitely get new oem spark plugs while in there. They are the best. Coils, I’d probably stick with oem as well.

Thank you. Even though this is my most boring video, a lot of people have this specific issue. Best wishes!!!

Uh it’s old. Didn’t age well. But it’s there to distract from my looks.

Thanks!!

Thanks. That’s exactly why that button is there. Thanks for watching!

Yes, the process is the same as yours is a front wheel drive just like mine. Not sure how much space you got, I would assume that it is a smaller pathway to access everything. Same part. I put one in the description which is the Dorman unit. Other aftermarket brands are know to have shavings inside as well as other issues. Just go with the Dorman version. You won't regret it. While you're in there consider replacing the spark plugs. They are due at 100k miles (just to save you some hassle later). Also, please, please make sure you torque everything properly. I see people mistake in-lb and ft-lb and break plastic parts. Consult your documentation for the oil coolers torque specs. I did not include it in the video. I did a second vehicle not too long ago and I found myself watching my own video a couple of times as I was doing it. Good luck!

Honestly, not sure. Some don’t drill it as it fits just fine. Mine was too tight.

Didn’t check the relay. Just the fuses. But changing the fuel pump did the trick. I guess 80k miles on e85 and the pump working 30% harder just killed it early.

That’s sounds like it may be the problem, unless you have a blown gasket. But once you’re in there you’ll be able to tell for sure. I bet it’s the filter housing however.

@@Turbo_Snail I’m trying gasket maker for the housing first. If that doesn’t work, I’ll try buying the full metal filter housing. Thank you! It is for sure the housing leaking

I can already tell you it won’t work. The pressure is too high. You’re putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound.

It's simpler, yet more complicated. As long as it makes more power.

That is not a bad price and honestly, if I ever have to do it again, it's worth spending $300. And I know what you're talking about getting old. I feel it already at my age and I find it harder than ever being underneath the car.

Thank you. It’s a fluid extractor. I’ll put the link in the description. It helps me make a couple bucks on Amazon but if you find one cheaper or better, please, there is no need to use my link. Mine is now 5 years old and it works great. I love it.

Thank you. She was considering painting it another color but I think we should keep it, just refresh the paint. Thanks for watching.

No problem 😊
