Thank you brother! Maybe I just have loyal subscribers. 😁

Nice job Dano.I recently replaced all 4 of my oxygen sensors on my 2001 XJ.Needless to say Mr.Bernzomatic was my best friend that day..😂😂

Hello I will come back to you to know if someone can give me some information I have a grand cherokee 98 v6 gasoline jeep it starts very well when cold and stops when hot mm while driving I have changed a lot of things spark plug with delco head spark plugs flywheel sensor relay tested it drives me crazy. thank you in advance

Hell yea. I can't wait for the weather to clear up so I can do some junkyard hopping.

Thanks!!! Ill be sure to add more yard content!

[@johnweber4169]

Great vid! I went to check my downstream O2 sensor on my XJ. Found out the 01's have 2.

[@ProjectDanH]

they did! especially XJs. 2 up 2 down... game changer.

[@michaelb2226]

When removing O2 sensors i find it easier to tighten it first just a little and then back it out. Might need to repeat a few times till it loosens enough

[@ProjectDanH]

excellent suggestion!

[@1stzjtruck706]

Cannot wait until I get back to the junkyard shopping.

[@spang162]

My ZJ hasn't really like the Bosch's in the past. The Mopar ones are NTK and Advance carries those too so that's what I have right now and it runs great. Also, no idea LI had junk yards! Gotta drive out to check that one out!

[@ProjectDanH]

Yeah we'll see what happens with these Bosch.. hopefully they last a little longer than their reputation says.. That yard is way out in Remsenburg.. One of the few that are left

[@spang162]

@@ProjectDanH Damn, that's like an hour and a half from the city, haha.

[@bryanmenard9385]

I have heard this same thing among Jeep folks and I have just never experienced it in all my years. My Bosch sensors have always worked fine. The primary reason I have gone with Bosch was because, when the original NTK did go bad, it needed fixing right now and the NTK's took several days to get in my area. Maybe I have been lucky. I've been using Bosch sensors since my Volvos in the 1980's. I don't drive a lot and use good gas. Who knows? I certainly wouldn't use a generic sensor but I feel okay with the Bosch on the whole. They have a warranty and are easy to change if they go bad. That's just me.

[@smitty4699]

I’ve been to that junkyard many times. Great spot

[@ProjectDanH]

[@trail-wolf4x4]

Thanks Howard! I find my cargo cover in a 1997 ZJ limited part out. Check your Local yard or maybe Ebay for one like this ... www.ebay.com/itm/1996-1998-Jeep-Grand-Cherokee-ZJ-Camel-Tan-Rear-Trunk-Cargo-Cover-Privacy-Shade/402305502143?hash=item5dab46cbbf:g:shUAAOSw3Rxe8rFo

[@stanthology]

You can fix your window rollers with shower door rollers from Lowes or Home Depot. Just get the smallest ones available. You need 2. Well mine needed 2.

[@ProjectDanH]

Good tip! Thanks for that!

[@bionicraspberry8067]

Man, shame someone scraped that 93, I wonder what was wrong with it as it didn't look too bad. I've always liked the 93 to 95 the best when it comes to zj's. That factory nav unit for the wj looked really cool as well, never knew they made those.

[@ProjectDanH]

Yea. That's always sad to see a Jeep get scrapped.. yeah they had RB1 navigation and WJ's starting in 2002 👍

[@motownXJdad9565]

that RB1 radio was a nice grab for 150$. you can easily add bluetooth to that factory radio by using the small square CD changer plug next to the main rectangle shaped harness plug. youll need to cobble together a RCA harness to a factory CD changer pigtail, then add 12V rca bluetooth modulator to the RCA end and bang! bluetooth factory radio. theres only 1 video of a RBI install into an XJ on youtube, its not that clean of an install, but it has some good info. you might be able to get an adapter from coastal tech for the Mygig radio you were eyeballing in the scrapyard. i used one of thier harnesses for a mygig swap in my 07 commander, worked great, good quality too.

[@ProjectDanH]

That's exactly what I plan on doing! I saw that RB1 nav video years ago and have always been intrigued by it. I'm gonna try to replicate it. I also already purchased a Bluetooth adapter for it! Stay tuned !!

I saw you going after that sensor with a 12 point socket and all I could think was: he's gonna round that off start cussing. Where I'm at and the 20 year old junk I wrench on 12 points are just asking for trouble. Too much orange loctite around here. Surprised you got yours off though.

The post cat O2 sensor(downstream) on a Magnum engine is strictly for CAT efficiency and does not play any part in how the engine runs. Any gains you saw were coincidence.

Just going to give you a headsup as a former dodge dealer mechanic. youre gonna wanna throw that bosch 02 sensor in the trash and buy one from the dealer or the brand NTK. reason being is the bosch isnt gonna work. it has heater resistance thats the wrong spec and usually never fix the 02 dtc or worse yet start to cause misfires, stalling etc, if you dont wanna believe me a quick google search on dozens of forum posts in everything from jeep forums to actual technicians discussing how often this doesnt work. if you feel like im just running bosch down and want further testimony
