- Hey so if you’re looking for the ultimate diy guide for the Grand Cherokee WJ 4.7L V8 then this is it. This is the most simplistic way of removal. I got tired of searching in forums and Facebook groups and there was so much bad information that I decided to tackle it myself.
This will make it entirely too easy. Now remember plan this thing out knowing it’s going to take you a while. Wake up at 7am go get parts and do whatever you need to do to work on that Jeep cold and not leave the engine running long enough to heat the exhaust piping. Do not drive it, park it over the evening.
Please leave me a comment and let me know how it went. Remember to have your swivels and it’s going to take you about 4 hours including tool removal and organization on a table, install, and cleanup.

Is it a pain in the ass? -absolutely
Is it doable? -Absolutely.
does it suck?- absolutely
You, sir, have just one yourself a new subscriber .
This video deserves more recognition for the production quality and truly showing ever step.
I have to agree. However, what I'd appreciate more is watching and hearing the process of the same procedure done on one that's actually seen a winter let alone 10+ and some salt and then tell me it's not a pain in the ass. This jeep is so clean.
Perfect Video. Much appreciated. I bought a pan last year as mine is rusted badly. Now I am confident I can get that done without some serious headache. Thanks so much for taking the time.
Great job dude just started doing this too late at 7pm and have to buy new exhaust bolts in the morning because mine are too rusted but you answered my main question which was do i need to hold those bolts on the back side. Your attention detail is what’s surely lacking in other videos . Jeep doing your thing my dude. 👍
Removed steering linkage, track bar to slide pan out the front. Removed passenger side upper control arm to get to exhaust bolts easier. After dropping down the exhaust that opened everything up to get to all bolts and enough room to easily drop the oil pan down and slide it out the front. Watched many videos on this and yours did help piece them all together to do it my own way.
left a ton out, oil pan gasket is bolted to the engine so dropping the oil pan is not as easy when the rubber gasket is fused to the pan, it'll need to be chiseled out. And the exhaust doesn't drop as far when all your components are in place. Everything else was spot on
Did you have to disconnect transmission lines? Also, did you have to separate your exhaust pipe into its components so you could get it out - I can’t seem to move it quite enough to get at the bolts
Thanks
many thanks for your video, also searched in forums and Facebook groups
This video was very helpful and the method worked well for me. I had a hell of a time getting the exhaust back together with the manifolds, and now one side of the exhaust is leaking at the manifold, probably the passenger side. I’m gonna have to use an inspection camera to see if it’s not lined up, and maybe consider using some permatex copper to seal it
Great job ! you are a Courageous Jeep
The inspection camera I bought at harbor freight came with a magnetic attachment which would be perfect for holding the locking nut into place when putting the exhaust back together
My weekend project.
Good job!! Just saw video, guy took entire font suspension off!!! Tf!!! Others removed starter!! Again great job!!!
Thanks Green Owl
I have an '03 Grand Cherokee Limited....so it may be a bit different, I'm not sure, but thanks for your very informative video 🙂....and remember Green Owl, God loves you! Thanks again for your help 🙂
Is there a rear main seal lime the 4.0? Seen many vids but none seem to replace it when doing the gasket seal
I can’t get my exhaust to drop as much - gonna dig around more
I've got a question, the baffle plate you reffered to thats in-between engine oil pan and transmission. Is removing that going to drop any fluids?
It looks like that plate/bracket is blocking oil pan bolts on my 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L, VIN-N.
I have a small leak on engine oil pan gasket and transmission pan gasket. Nothing dropping to the floor but it is burning to it. Im wanting to properly seal them up and clean them up properly.
Transmission question on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L.
How can i tell what transmission model i have?
I dont have a metal plack on transmission side, no sticker on drivers door, under hood sticker isn't visible and a replacement hood from salvage yard.
I did q Vin Decoder scan on NHSTA website and nothing on transmission.
I believe it's the 45RFE or 5-45RFE. I know the 45RFE is a 4 speed AT and the 5-45RFE is a 5 Speed AT that has a electronic 5th gear.
I just want to know the difference between the 45RFE vs 5-45RFE transmission.
• Are the pans different size?
• Do they hold different fluid capacities?
• are their shift solenoids/packs different?
• gaskets, pickup tube filters, screw in return cooler filter difference?
Ive heard there is a punch stamped code on transmission but I'm having a hard time finding it?
So. Where is the next video? Have you use a black adhesive?
Must be nice not having rust at all
Dam is that what I have to do next, I have the same wet patches, just fitted a new oxygen sensor today, yipee
Doing my jeeps this week. $133 for the dam gasket alone not even pan. Just gonna cut the pipes and reweld new exhaust fck it
What year model is this?
I didn't have to remove the exhaust on mine but mine is lifted
I have a hole in the bottom of my oil pan from rusting through, however it doesn’t seem to be leaking from the gasket. Is the gasket reusable or should it be replaced too?
If you're going to be doing a job like this, I'd recommend replacing it. It's only about a $50 gasket. Why go through all that work just to have it leak down the road and have to do all that work again?
@@user-re2bq7ck2q thanks for the reply, I did end up replacing it, that was the easy part, the hard part for me was reinstalling the y pipes to sit properly without leaking. I ended up making my own aluminum gasket for it to get it to seal up nice, finally got it nice after several attempts.
What tools did u use ? And what size socket
Maybe you should try watching the video before asking dumb questions that he definitely answers.
Great video!! You make it look easy. I need to have this done. Any idea how many hours a shop would charge? Another question...I need a new muffler too. I guess now would be a good time and allow the Y to move more right? Thanks.
4 hours my friend
hello im having a promise talking the exhaust botls off i took 3 off the last one is just spinning and not coming out help !!
me tooo
Use a clamping tool and clamp the bolt and hit it with the impact
Is this a 4x4?
OK I'm watching this video halfway through my drink, sex in the beach, and I am having a freaking blast but there's no way in hell I want to do this...
Why u don't show how to take down exhaust
That was the first half of the video
My last passenger side exaust bolt is stuck😬 the nut just keeps spinning around at the top and I don’t know how to stop it
Mine is stuck/spinning the same way right now... How did you end up getting it off???
@@oscarquiroz1582 I had to get a small die grinder with cutoff wheel up in there to cut that same bolt. Pain in the butt, but easy enough to cut through. Wear safety squints. Order a new OEM set of 4 off eBay since they are special elongated nuts with a helper tang. Goes on/stays on.
@@jasonmayne1 thank you!!!!
what kind of grinder did you use
Cherokees on those years have a terrible designs on front crossmember
To make it worst they made those 4x4
If you go to a mechanic for oil pan gasket prepare yourself
