I’ve been looking for a professional video on this job all over UA-cam. Thanks you’ve given me the courage to try and do this job. I’ve got a dead Jeep sitting in my driveway.
Thank you. My local garage told me, after me n my son, towed my jeep into town with my tractor, that he couldn't do it because he doesn't have an engine cradle. So towed it back and will be attempting it myself tomorrow. Thanks again for the video.
Just did mine with my '14 5.7 4x4. Was able to pull it straight out the front without touching the mount. I could have gotten to everything from the bottom alone but I took the wheel off and that made it pretty easy to get the heat shield and wires. Actually I may have been able to get to them just as easily with the wheel on, not sure if it would have been in the way or not. On the 15 mm top and lower bolts, i used a 18" extension and 15mm swivel for the lower. For the top i used the same 18" extension and TWO swivels. Piece of cake. Also sprayed a little liquid wrench an hour beforehand to try and prevent a disaster.
@EngineInformant Yes, I've done my engine mounts before and all the videos of the 3.6 people show them having to take the mount, it's bracket and upper intake out so i thought for sure I had to do at least all that. The hole behind my wheel wasn't covered with liner or big enough to get the starter out. I was able to use it to take off the skinny solenoid wire and the heat shield as well as getting the bolts back in while laying underneath. The connector on my solenoid wire looks to be in pretty rough shape and I dunno how I'm gonna replace it. There's very little room to mess with it. I can't imagine soldering it that way. Maybe a crimp connection? It may actually be the problem because the car would randomly not start.
I'm replacing my starter as I type....I"ve not removed the intake manifold but Im trying to get the bracket & motor mount in now and its a pain. I just watched @EngineInformant 's video again and I will try to install the mount first and also move that AC line out of the way and see if I can get the bracket back in. That's what is holding me up right now. Also I appreciate you showing how to test the starter, I had the new started tested before i bought it at AutoZone so I know its working. Now, I "tested" the old one and confirmed it's bad. Thanks again
Excellent, i have leaking engine mounts that i will be replacing and as soon as i seen the starter in behind the mount i had the feeling that if the starter ever goes i will need to remove the mount again. No use doing the same job twice so looks like ill be doing the starter as a precaution while i do the mounts.
That mount doesn't look as bad as replacing a motor mount on my 2010 yukon awd😂 im pretty sure im gonna have to replace my starter soon, but it is a 2wd so maybe ill have more room
All of a sudden my gc just has a click/clunk when i go to start it. Does that sound like the starter on these. I cant easily get to the starter to test power or anything obviously so thought id ask. Thanks
So that engine uses 2 different starters, they are different sizes. One is for stop-start and to change that one, the motor mount needs to come out. The little starter, the one in this video, can come out very easily without touching that motor mount.
@@danp4160 I'm not incorrect, It depends on the year and size of the starter. I am a tech at a jeep dealer and I have probably replaced over a hundred of those starters

this is good info for the Hemi people out there

@EngineInformant moving that water pump line out of the way solved the issue getting that bracket in place! thanks again.

Bro thankyou for the video I just did the job in about 2 hours
Did you remove the intake manifold?
What took so long?
I have yet to find a DIY video about the 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland V6 engine. 😢
That mount doesn't look as bad as replacing a motor mount on my 2010 yukon awd😂 im pretty sure im gonna have to replace my starter soon, but it is a 2wd so maybe ill have more room
Man I did one it took me like 4 hours 😂 same car
So you did not have to remove the intake manifold?
How did you get the back bolt out on the lower part of the motor mount? I can’t get to it at all!
If I remember correctly your doing it blind
All of a sudden my gc just has a click/clunk when i go to start it. Does that sound like the starter on these. I cant easily get to the starter to test power or anything obviously so thought id ask. Thanks
for me mine just would spin without engaging. a clunk would make me think something is stuck or locked
@EngineInformant yeah i tapped the starter with a rod and cycled the start button like 20x and all is good now. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply however the start stop function wasn't implemented until years later
No kidding. My point is you didn't need to take the motor mount out. You have the tiny little starter in the video@@EngineInformant
@@xj31incorrect. I just did the job and the mount had to come out.

@@xj31 your original comment is 100% incorrect. If you want to be correct, edit it.
Is this the same way for a 2015?
not 100% positive but i believe so on a v6 model
You never mention HOW you loos the top mount bolt from the bracket , you passed that step...
If I remember correctly it was a fun time with an open end wrench 1/4 turn at a time.
Too much talking! Just do it!
Not a bad video but dude will talk you to death
😂 alot of these same comments on this video. I'm not sure what I did as I haven't watched it but maybe I should 😮
