Good safety talk Tommy...
+UndergroundTrev
LOL
Man, miss these guys. Great collection of XJ vids for the tube though.
I don't know where you managed to get kids saying "talking safety with tommy," but its probably the greatest thing ever.
+Enlisted Budget Videos
Tee hehehehe
Reminds me of fire Marshall Bill. You guys a funny. Keep it up
Great production quality. Hey- it looks like the Crankshaft position is RIGHT THERE when you take this thing out, so it's probably a good time to swap that out if yours is old
Sure do miss the Jeep videos
I’m doing my first ever mechanic work it’s on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with the in-line 6 4.0 liter think I said that right so far I replaced the thermostat radiator hoses water pump and fan clutch have it torn down for the head gasket to be done now
You guys are crazy, every time i need a laugh I watch one of your vids. Love them, ooyeaaa, I learn alot also. Keep up the good job guys.
You guys make such entertaining videos. My manifold doesn't even leak, still great to watch!
Cheers Bud!
Hope ya stick around. More on the way...
spacerag definitely great videos I don't even own a jeep but love there videos
cheep ebay.. thats a good one cuzz
Hey!! Great video, great tips. Got one I'd like to share: I learned real quick to bolt the manifold down to a 1/4" piece of plate steel to avoid warping. Use your gasket as a template. You guys rock! Thanks for all your videos!!
Seriously some of the best how to videos out there, you guys better be paid actors
always fun to watch
Excellent demonstrations
This video was a first impression for me. Love guys already. Sub'd
LMFAO!!!
60 Inch Gong at the end. You guys are so funny!
+Samurai Sushi
Hahaha
Looks like we're not the biggest deal in town..
I love this channel ❤️
Entertaining guys! Enjoyed watching even though I'm not facing this job anytime soon.
Looks like we'll be doing it again along with the head gasket job coming up....LOL
Thanks for replying to my comment on your channel. Just subbed.
Cheers bud!!
Cool, Thanks! Replied 9 months later. Took me a while to think of the right thing to say. Haha!! Sorry bout that. Was reviewing old comments and saw it. Sometimes I fall behind. I'll be watching for your next vid!
No worries bud,
Better late than never.
Our next vid will be up tonight or tomorrow morning.
Pabst Boys Roadhouse

Another awesome show guys👍👍🙃🙂😉 thanks for all your hard work and entertaining shows👍🙃😉
+6.5 Creedy
Thanks Bud!
Makes it worth the work to get comments like this!
Cheers!
Pretty entertaining video, and I have to replace my exhaust manifold, I picked one up at a junkyard for $20, Cracked in the exact same place. You made it look easy. lol. Thanks for the video
Cheers Bud!
Glad it helped/made you laugh.
You guys are amazing
Man, you guys are like the Beevis and Butthead of the motorized vehicle world, with less profanity, and a lot more PBR.....suuuubbedddd
Apparently PBR is the universal language
I love you guys!! funny as Hell!!!
Great video
Instant sub. Thank you. Nice Gwar T
good job tommy.
Fun to watch... You guys should make a video replacing freeze plugs
You guys are great
more video keep up the great video
Good job guys love watching your show. I would like to see you all make a DYI snorkel on the xj.
+jeremy falin
We'v got a few ideas.....
Good work🛠👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I know this is an older video but I subbed just because of the intro haha
Great videos! And thumbs up for the Forever in Blue Jeans link! :)
+Árni Geir Lárusson aaaaah! You saw that. Nice!! 😎🤘
Thank you guys for making this very helpful as I will need to replace my manifold soon.
Cheers!
Glad to help.
Do you guys have any videos or recommendations where to look for taking off a 94 jeep wrangler 2.5l exhaust my intake look a bit different than yours
"Awesome!" Thanks!
Thanks guys!
good work!
+Admiral Off-Road
Thanks Bud!
Man you guys are funny
Ya'll so ROCK!!!!
ok guys on the Walker gasket and studs, did you replace those with regular bolts? You guys should do a video on replacing that front pipe to the exhaust manifold! There's no any good ones out yet! Enjoyed the vid as always!😎👊
Great video, I was about to shit my pants when I thought it was just about buying an expensive header, good one guys!!
Really appreciate the video. Did you guys run into any issues getting the bolts out of the head? I'm afraid I'll have to cut the ones near collector flange.
This vid is too good, the torque pattern diagram is an excellent addition. An actual DIY video people can understand and follow!
We do what we can.
Like to ad stuff that we dont see in other DIY videos, like humor.
Lifesavers!!!
Anybody who drinks Pabst is Good People.. Steve Rob does know Good People.
+ml2trick
Steve Rob is good people.
Jeeeejjjj a new video thanks guys always fun to wach
I have seen a limited slip diff in the front axel of a volvo 740/240 something for you guys to try ?
Keep up the good work 👍
+Thomas Van Hoven
Our Buds at Enlisted Budget Videos have one on that.
Check 'em out
Could you reach ALL the bottom bolts with the extension from the top ? or did you have go underneath to get a few ? Thanks
4:30 mmm ok, thanks mate, good tip
pabst blue brought me here hahahah! everyone has the exact same crack in the exact same place usually due to engine mounts and no flex or bellows
+1trucavalier
Yeah,
It's pretty common.
Cheers Bud!!
Lmao too funny new sub here
APN header?
Might end up doing just this. Since mine is leaking from the same points. Love how you guys just twirled the intake on top of the valve cover, saves time with disconnecting the injectors!
+AbsoluteAggressor
And the Throttle cables.
All about savin' time
Unfortunately Tommy was fired for wasting beer.
+JEEP TALK SHOW!
LOL
Lmao
I think fixing the existing header was a good choice.
+saha6818
Agreed.
Steve Rob sent me! Great stuff!
+Thomas EXOVCDS
Cheers Bud!
Stick around, the show is about to get even more boring...
Steve Rob sent me boys. Nice work.
Awesome!
Steve Rob's vid about us was hilarious!!
Omg I'm drunk on pbr and Rebel Yell. This is exactly what m dealing with on my XJ
Did you guys flux core weld it or use gas? I’ve heard flux core was good for fixing cracks giving the weld more flexibility so it won’t crack in the same spot so to say, but idk if flux or gas would be better on exhaust. What’d you guys do or have any tips or tricks?
How you like welding in those miller gloves? I have a pair but im skeptical
How did you bypass your abs pump
Excelente video de que año es su jeep xj?
Hey guys I may have 2 do this. Fan does not come on so white smoke comes from radiator, coolant over flow tank is full and full when i open the thermostat (where i can put water if need be). but I do have faint white smoke from tail pipe. How can I test to see if It is a head gasket I need. I saw ur video on this. U guys are great!! a girl fixing alone. will try .
also you guys make removing the intake easy loll
Any suggestions on how to get the 2 manifold bolts out of the bottom side of #4 and #5? On my 2001 XJ there are 2 catalytic converters in the way.
Use a stubby ratchet and a 2 in extension stand on a milk crate and you can get your arm in between the manifold and block from the front as long as the power steerimg pump has been removed I know this was an old post but incase others are reading with the same problem I posted an answer anyway
Steve sent me. Which one of you is the University English professor and who's the crab fisherman on Lake Manitoba.We got lots of crab in Lake Erie but they got to grow a little. They're only about 3 inches big. Gona back track and check you guys out, looks good. Doug -SW Ontario
+Douglas Laramie
OMG Bud!
Steve Rob had us dying with the fake back stories!!!
I also grew up in SW Onterrible, and Tommy's from the Karaoke Capital of the world.
BC livin' these days....
new subscriber here, Steve Rob sent me. Enjoyed the video
+Ozzstar
Cheers Bud!
His review had us rolling on the floor.
On my XJ the collector bolts are on super tight and I live in Pennsylvania so there is probably 5 inches of rust on it. Have any tips?
What header do you guys recommend?
I'm going to start this tomorrow. What is the probability of breaking the bolts off in the head or block? That's the scariest part for me.
Hey fellas, just bought a 2000 grand cherokee laredo. Will this header fit? Cant seem to find one for this model. Thx
You guys are facking hilarious!
Hello guys, is this done the same way on a WJ 2001 grand cherokee 4.0 6 cyl..?
sweet ratchet f841 I believe....my favorite or all time except impossible to remove socket bare handed with oil on fingers lol
+Mark Blake Jr.
Hahahaha
yeah, it holds on tight
Jeeps are always one of the hardest/inconvenient cars to work on the simplest things are put into the hardest places to get to
Yarp.
Oliver all chrystlers are loke that
I seen you had a backlash caliber on the table, doing any axle rebuild kits? Or re gear? Great fun video guys!
+Jacob Jensen
Just the holder. My gauge is busted.
don't worry though. we will cover that.
can you guys do an episode on setting pinion angle with adjustable control arms?
+Drooskee Skee
We have something in the works for that.
Just subbed. Went from Steve Robs place to here.
+Bruce Pender
Well,
Welcome to the Roadhouse!
Tell Steve Rob Thanks!!
Got some video ideas for y'all: Cut n fold, Rust removal, Aussie or Spartan Locker, Tera low Kit, Long arms, Behind the front seat hoop, and Skids.
+killeninicent
already done, never ending, yep, maybe, no, possible, and def getting on that one.
Haha alright then, I look forward to the videos
im facing this job right now on my cherokee and let me say man this is a job cleaning up someone else's rig is a bitch loll
Hey brother I tackled this task all alone and with that I also changed the head gasket. Everything was done to bolt pattern and torque specs. Now when I crank it up it revs up to 5000 rpms. Any insight on what could be the issue
Vacuum leak on intake gasket or unplugged vacuum line somewhere most likely
I'm surprised no kits come with a downpipe with a flex pipe. I just swapped mine recently and trying to get a flex pipe on sooner than later.
+downnoutdubin
havent seen a kit like that, but you're right.
It would beat the crappy collector doughnut. (Where it is meant to flex)
great videos keep them up. how could you tell you needed to repair the manifold? could you here it or was there a loss of power? I have a 95 yj and there seams to be a tick I cant tell if it is a cracked manifold or a bad lifter. it goes away after fully warmed up.
It was really loud. just sounded like an exhaust leak
i think i might have something similar mine is really loud when i start it and the noise stays loud until it warms up. it almost sounds like a valve tap, but it goes away after it warms up. does this sound like a manifold issue?
Crane 2005 it does. I see the same thing on ford trucks, where an exhaust manifold stud will snap off and have the same symptoms. It's really common for them.
great thank you. i guess i will be tearing into it soon
That was a great video and now I know Pabst Blue Ribbon is a good conductor of stupidity. And like the old Gi Joe cartoons used to say, "knowing is half the battle". Wish I could like these videos over and over but......
A video idea for you guys would be a shop tour/toolbox tour
+richard benson
That might work...
Thanks Bud!
Banks Exhaust headers are worth the additional coin
Great video and really impressive production quality on all your videos. Usually XJ videos are filmed vertically with a toaster. Keep up the good work! Subscribed!
Spent that last coin on that snap on wrench
Hey bud how close is your header to the oil pan. Installed a new header and it's sitting against the engine block. Company says they've never seen the problem. Any help would be appreciated
Don't know what to tell ya bud....
Shouldn't be like that.
Might put some washers to space out the end of the exhaust manifold :)
Not sure how ya mean.......
lets see you guys build a custom snorkel. I did one on my 91xj, runs up through cowl and into a humvee style stack on passenger side, cost me about $70 in the end
Like that.
We'll work on it.
I'll send ya some pictures, you guys can let me know what ya think
steven taylor Sure!
Post them to us on our facebook page
About how long did this take you minus the welding part?
+Samuel Veneman
Did the whole job in an afternoon.
what kind of welder do you have?
+Joe Kirk
Lincoln SP-170T MIG. 240v unit.
it's an oldie, but a goodie
You guys have any suggestions on a quality header
We can recommend a really bad one.....
Tommy my boy my boy where are you... 😘😘.... Kindly let me know how can I buy cherokee s.parts from USA to KSA?
I'm having a huge vacuum leak in my Jeep after a head gasket repair. I'm tied
Thats exactly what happened to me, except I waited 2mths and bought a Gibson header. So now I have 3 headers :) :(
+Leofred
Hahahahaha
Backups.
I wanna hear your back stories.
Hahaha
That would make a good video. Or series of videos......
I think there's a misprint on the torque pattern display you used. I believe the spec for bolts 6 and 7 are 23 N.m (17 ft. lbs), not 23 ft. lbs. I'm by no means an expert, so I could be wrong.
+JonDinCT
This is from a service manual, so if it's a typo, all us mechanics have been doin' it wrong for years...
But to be honest, the difference between 17flbs and 23flbs on a steel head is negligible.
Thanks for the comment though.
How long did it take ? and why do they crack ? Thanks guys
Tony Saprano mine did the same thing. My mechanic friend said that it’s the weight of the exhaust fatigues the manifold over time. He says that once it cracks, it’s in a better position. When the cracks are welded, it’s in a better position with less stress. Or something like that. He wasn’t allowed to weld a customer’s manifold so he’d weld the broken ones and install them for friends when theirs cracked.
Weight.
Heat cycles .
Exhaust taking a bump.
Different engine and trans mounts.
No exhaust flex.
Etc
FUK'N A Y'all are funny!
Whats the giant piston on the bench from?
+piecartbox
A friend found it at a site where there was a mine about 100 years ago in the local area
Its got a hell of a skirt!
+piecartbox
For sure!
It's Aluminum.
what would happen if you never fixed your cracked exhaust manifold?
the cold air being sucked into those cracks is said to, over time cause warping of the head, but that's just what a few people have told me, it could be an old wives tale.
It'll kill gas mileage and also could get into the vehicle and you'll be breathing in carbon monoxide
Pretty sure Mitchell is right about the CO. Knowing the effects of CO poisoning I know that the cracks on my manifold I am getting poisoned. Now that it's winter and I can't keep the windows down I'm gonna have to fix it...
@@mitchellabbott7919
You're correct. And, add to that list it may trigger the engine light and fail emissions testing.
