Man, thank you for going through this!!! I have a 3.8 and have wanted to do a hemi swap but had a really hard time piecing all the steps together. This is awesome!!
I got very simple mechanical skills like brakes and oil changes, but this was very entertaining for me to watch. Gives me hope of someday being able to do this swap with my 08 JK.
Yes I did. With the driveshafts still attached to the transfer case and transmission, it won't roll anywhere. But once the driveshafts are removed, it will be free to roll on an uneven surface. Put something behind the wheels to stop it from rolling. But if you're just doing a rebuild and not touching the driveshafts, you have nothing to worry about. Good luck!
Hell brother, I'm doing this swap and just got the motor in. I'm wondering is there any specific ecm I need to buy when buying a used one for my 2013 jk
I would contact Liz with Jeep Speed Shop or Chris from Hotwire Auto. My Jeep is the 2007-2011. I don’t want to give you any wrong information as all my research was for my specific year. Sorry for the delay, I missed this comment.
I explain this in the next video. But I chose that route for the guys just doing a rebuild on the 3.8l. But yes, It would have been much easier to pull the whole assembly at once.
I heard you mention that but wasn’t sure if there was another reason. Good idea as I don’t think there are alot of videos of just pulling the 3.8L alone!
Nope that was the only reason I went that route @@TwebaMH I haven't come across any 3.8L removals. So I thought I'd help out the guys needing a little guidance.

@@JamesTyranski it’s not that bad. Just one step at a time. Thanks for the feedback. You got this!
Thanks for the detailed video ! Do you leave the vehicle in park for the entire procedure ?

Great job! Thank you so much

Thanks for posting. About to tackle this on my 08 JK. Any reason you didn’t take the drivetrain out as an assembly with the hoist?
