2002 GRAND CHEROKEE HYDRO FAN & RADIATOR INSTALL - GET THE GREEN HORNET WJ RUNNING!

[@justinmattina6744]

You are awesome Dan H, I like your content and the good energy you have

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks man! I appreciate that!

[@jamesdewer]

Great video! I That radiator was a drag to change. I took the entire front end off. Major job.

[@ProjectDanH]

yep! I did too.. and while I was in there I went to town cleaning 🤣

[@rodom303]

Martin built is your new best friend

[@ProjectDanH]

He sure is! I love Martin!

[@Martin-dg8xy]

South main, is good also!

[@Danielprokopij]

Good luck with the progress! Looks like its gonna be fun. Make sure you purge the coolant from the little 8mm hex near the top radiator hose! Im looking for ward to the WJ content!

[@Danielprokopij]

Also when i first got my 4.7HO my valve covers needed new gaskets. That fixed the smoking i had which was similar to yours. 👍

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks buddy I have a cool and purge video coming up next! (spoiler I didn't use the bleeder)

[@ProjectDanH]

lol i figured if have to do the valve cover gasket soon. 🤣

[@15farcry]

I don't even have a WJ, but still really enjoyed watching this!

[@ProjectDanH]

thanks Ethan! I can't wait to actually start driving it! (legally)

[@riverbankfisher]

Hey this is a very helpful channel for us WJ owners, and I tune in every time you post a new WJ video. I've seen this same cooling issue crop up with my 2004 WJ Laredo 4.7V8, but rather than attempt to get the hydraulic fan working again, I'm in the process of copying the electric fan conversion that came with my 2004 WJ Overland 4.7V8 HO, whose power steering plumbing is entirely removed from the radiator. Since the WJ Overland works fine after that conversion to electric fan cooling, I figured the same idea ought to work with the Laredo. I'd be interested to hear from any other WJ V8 owners who have also gone the electric fan route, to find out whether they encountered any power steering problems due to overheating of the power steering fluid that no longer gest routed through the radiator assembly. I've not yet driven the Overland really hard as yet, so I'm not sure how well this DIY cooling system conversion will hold up over time.

[@ProjectDanH]

The conversion sound like a great mod. keep me posted on how it works. Thanks for watching!

🤣🤣🤣 Everyone should be doing a little jimmy jamming every now and then!

[@EverydayOffRoad]

Love the name there Dan. Best advice I can give is keep up on the oil level/changes. Use OEM recommended oil weight, don't add any funky stuff (additives).

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks for the tips! 💪

[@DEInTheGarage]

Those hydro lines are not a nightmare to get to when installed, you just have to be OK with PS fluid dripping into your mouth while you work.....

oh my, tasty treats!

thank john!

[@mackincheez8647]

@16:42, what is that wiring to.. I had someone tow my jeep and they used the frame by the passenger side fan.. it looks like that wire harness/clip was torn off.. as well as the coolant hose..

[@ProjectDanH]

Looks like thats the fan solenoid plug as described in the 6th minute of the video

Sounds like exhaust manifold leak and maybe valve cover gaskets are leaking from sitting but it's alive !!

I do believe your correct about both! lol. it's alive buddy!

[@Ozzy5610]

Great job Dan! 👍🏼

[@ProjectDanH]

Thank bro!

[@charlesgrimm7382]

I have a million dollar question. The high pressure hose going from the pump to fan uses a quick connect fitting at the fan as a stock part. Does the edelman part work correctly? The mopar one looks like a 37 degree flare with an o-ring at the nose but the aftermarket ones (edelman included) use what seems to be an inverted flare (same connection at the ps pump). Does anyone have any leaks using the aftermarket one?

[@ProjectDanH]

So far so good brother. That quick connect fitting was trash and leaking anyway. I'm glad its gone 💪

[@AlbertaDog]

Why do you put thread tape on a flar connection?

[@ProjectDanH]

less friction

[@rick850angler6]

Man U really know ur wjs down to the T. Great vid and yes call it the green hornet for sure...🤘🏽👊👍🧐

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks Rick!! I'm learning more and more every day.

[@77loka]

Awesome vid as always. Question about the coolant, isnt it supposed to be neon yellow grinish color?

[@дмитрий-н1г6з]

Hello, can you please tell me if it is possible to put a hydronic module with a 3-pin solenoid instead of the factory 2-pin solenoid ... It is the hydraulic module in the assembly, if replaced, will it work?

[@ProjectDanH]

Yes, Just make sure you get the small piece of wire that has the clips to make it plug and play!

When you took off your power steering pump hose what Wrench did you use?

[@ProjectDanH]

Which time stamp? At 11:25? 18mm At 9:20? I think a 3/4

[@mrahmedar1]

Hello dear, a question: Do you recommend a hydraulic or electric fan for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee - 4.7

[@ProjectDanH]

Hey, I hated the hydro fan. It was a lot of effort to make it work correctly.. I would choose an E fan for every WJ. unfortunately Jeep decided that most WJs with 4.7 V8s and Tow packages should have a Hydrofan.

[@ChilePicanteKornNvtz]

Teflon tape on flare fittings is not necessary. The leak will happen at the flare/cone fitting. Not the threads.

[@ProjectDanH]

Teflon tape doesn't seal.. it lubricates to achieve a tighter fit!

[@ChilePicanteKornNvtz]

@@ProjectDanH right on. Just making sure that was what you were trying to achieve. Carry on my wayward son…

[@robertgrauman8602]

Passing along info I picked up from a guy at my local u pull. On the WJ transfer case, the fluid requires a friction modifier, kinda like what you put in the diffs, and if you don't add it when you change the fluid, it will burn up the transfer case. I think he said transfer case. Not sure anymore, I was pulling 5.9 parts for my ZJ at the time, and it was a hot July day.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks for the info, ill look into it. Hope you weren't talking to a junk yard mirage!! 🤣 Heat plays tricks on the mind! LMAO

hi dan i have 01 g cherokee v8 4.7 and installed a powersteering pump also but havin troubles with it it builds up peressure and blows the lines at the cooler no cooler now,blew cooler also i think my fan went out im thinking is not circulating the fluid and i got right fluid also,i have elderly mother and shes hoppin in truck now needs alittle lower ride so im tryin get it fix and no help from local tireman either they denied to do it,and my battery went out was low aslo,so what you think can you help me out,thanks good videos im watching later Dan

[@Leatherkid01]

Little tip, if you have pink teflon tape ....use that instead....would be more resistant to solvents and oil(petroleum based) products. Never leaked on me yet those pink ones.

[@ProjectDanH]

wow, i didn't know there was pink.. Ive seen gray, but never pink

[@rodm5830]

How did you bleed your system once you got the fan back in. My hi pressure line from the pump to the fan motor keeps popping off when I start the motor.

[@ProjectDanH]

your gonna love my Power steering fluid vid.. I drain the whole system and start fresh

[@GenXplorer0321]

Why did you install the fan with the wrong Solenoid?

well, I wouldn't have If I knew they were different! unfortunately I didn't realize the solenoids were incompatible till after I installed it. I learned the hard was and shared my experience so you guys could learn from my mistake. Your welcome

[@ProjectDanH]

Great idea!!! love it!!!

[@fjnagle2nd]

So if you did a hydro fan delete, say with an electric fan or 2, it would throw a check engine light, because of the sensor? Seems like a better option if only...

[@martinbuilt]

use a 10-ohm wire-wound across the two wires that way the ECM will not throw a code.

[@ProjectDanH]

Martin, I've read that if you put in an E-fan you can save your solenoid and keep it plugged to prevent any codes. Is this true?

[@Weidjeep]

How did you end up fixing the solenoid issue? I'm about to go from 01 to 04 fan

[@ProjectDanH]

I wouldn't recommend getting a difference year fan. The solenoids are different and they shouldn't be interchanged

[@Weidjeep]

2004 plugged right in and is working great cel turned off guess my 2001 wiring was a match.

[@ProjectDanH]

@@Weidjeep Score!!! That's Great to know. I'm glad it worked out! Now I wonder if the O4 solenoid I pulled was broken too 🤔

[@Logan-de3xx]

Did you end up bleeding the air out afterwards? Always make sure you do that. It can contribute to the valve seat dropping.

A little concerned with all the smoke. Burning off anything that got spilled is understandable but STILL smoking that much after you took it out.... Be sure to check everything in the daylight. Other than that, Go Green Hornet!! Bzzzzzzzzzz..

Truth be told I worked in a lot of WD-40 around some rusted lines and connectors. I'm confident it will all burn off soon 🤣

[@robguess6572]

for the most part your video is quite educational except for putting teflon tape on the threads of your flare fittings. the tape does absolutely nothing to prevent leaks when on a flare fitting.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks, the Teflon tape is lube to screw it in tighter.. nothing to do with leaks
