Here's Why This Jeep Has a Chevy Engine - Duration: 5:54.
welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner welcome to my 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer,
I bought this 88 Grand Wagoneer on eBay in 2010, the body and the wheels were in
very good condition, no dents and the paint was a fresh single stage
application, the simulated wood trim and side paneling had been replaced, the dash
wasn't cracked but the instrument bezel was, seats and carpet were in good
shape, but some of the leather inserts on the seats were replaced with vinyl, rear
seat and cargo area were complete except for the metal strips on the tailgate and
floor, in the engine compartment some electrical wiring issues were obvious
and the a/c hoses were missing, and the air breather tube was also missing, the
smog pump was not operational and all of the options except the rear window wiper
were on the Jeep, so what kind of engine I had to decide what kind of engine to
put in the Jeep, but eventually I narrowed it down to a generation 4 5.3
liter with a 6l80 automatic transmission I found this one on eBay out of a brand
new 2010 Silverado, there had been a fire in the cab and some of the wiring was
singed, but it was completely repairable it had 6 miles on it, so what did I do to
the Jeep, the first thing was to take the engine transmission and transfer case
out of the Jeep, next I removed the original
motor mounts out of the Jeep and bolted and welded in the new motor mounts, I
needed to patch up this big hole in the firewall, I fabricated this piece of
sheet metal and I riveted it in place, makes a nice backdrop for the dual battery
system, so I got rid of the old battery tray and the old AC mess that used to
run across the fender well, so all of the old holes were weld it up and the dents
were bonded in, on the driver's side I got rid of the old electrical stuff, that
was under the hood and then under the dash as well, I put headers on the new
engine so we dropped it into the Jeep it was ready to go, but I had to build a
new exhaust system using all three of those catalytic converters that came
with it, and I had to relocate some of the O2 sensor ports, so I used heat tape and
heat paint fit right in, I modified the fender well to accept a new battery tray,
I used bondo on the firewall and the battery tray fit right in,
next I started on the air box for the K&N system, I fabricated this piece of
sheet metal, then I had to cut this part of the fender well out to accept the new
box, left a pretty big hole in the fender well it's kind of scary, next I replaced
all the wiring under the hood and I installed this grounding block all
grounds went to a common ground I also replaced all the wiring under the
dash and installed the new air conditioning condenser core as well as a
new radiator and I mounted the new oil cooler and transmission cooler, then I
mounted this electric fan which is controlled by the ECU, we mounted new
springs and shocks under the Jeep there was no rust on this Jeep at all so the
job went fairly fast, I also rebuilt both of the front hubs, new bearings, new
rotors and new brake pads as well, i fabricated a larger heat shield that was
going to go between the new catalytic converters and the new transmission, I
was lucky to find a brand new transfer case an MP 229 just like the one that I
had taken out, a former Jeep dealer had it in his garage, I had new Drive shafts
built as the rear had to be shortened and the front had to be lengthened, and I
replaced all of the u-joints while we were doing this, later on I replaced
both the rear axles due to a vibration and I upgraded the brake shoes, so what's
under the hood everything is fully functional including
all of the emissions systems, so here's the new cold air box
it keeps the filter nice and clean here are the two batteries with a battery
isolator located between them, the wiring is a little messy but I'm working on it,
and the engine sits in there nice and straight, the fan is held in by some
brackets that I made, and this is what my electric mess looks like, but it's proven
to be very reliable on these roads that I live on up here in Northern Virginia, so
what does the interior look like, so I get rid of all the red color, I redid all
the door panels and all of the arm rests replaced all of the simulated wood trim
on the inside, covered the steering wheel in leather as well as the seats and
that center console is from a Ford van and I installed this digital dash that
runs off an obd2, this is the digital heater control with the two controls for
the heated front seats, I installed this large screen radio that also has a lot
of entertainment capabilities, and I have the ECM and the TCM reprogrammed
to accept his tap up tap down shifter and of course it also has a backup
camera capability which comes in handy new mats, new seat belts, and USB charging
stations, front and rear and heated seats in the back too, the back seat folds up and
it's held in place by this elastic band that's completely sound proofed in the
roof and on the floor, and this is the rear passenger control for the heated
seats and the USB charging station, the yellow battery runs this DC converter ,and the
rear seat belts I put in shoulder harnesses which this Jeep did not have
previously, Scotty thanks again for allowing me to feature this Jeep I
really have a lot of fun with it, it's great to drive, thanks for watching,
well that was this week's video and to have your car mod shown on my channel
here check this out, so if you never want to miss another one
of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!

Incredible moment Jeep is engulfed by a fireball after colliding head-on with tractor-trailer - Duration: 7:17.
Aheart-stopping dashboard video taken in New Hampshire last week captured the moment a Jeep driven by an 18-year-old college student crashed head-in into a tractor-trailer and turned into a fireball, nearly killing the driver
Luckily for Keen State College freshman Samuel LaChance, a father and son who were driving directly behind him - and whose minivan was equipped with the dashboard camera - came to his aid and helped save his life
LaChance was driving along Route 101 in Dublin, New Hampshire, at 8.20am on January 22 en route to his college after winter break when for some reason his vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic
John Cramer and his 18-year-old son, Marc, were following LaChance's Jeep and saw the moment the college student's vehicle careened into a Mack truck
The devastating impact caused the tractor-trailer's fuel tank to explode, engulfing the Jeep in flames and sending it spinning into a guardrail
The Cramers said they had no time to break, so their Toyota Sienna ended up driving through a wall of fire and knocking LaChance's burning Jeep out of the center of the fireball, which Marc later called 'a blessing
' 'If it weren't for our vehicle hitting the right front wheel, he would have burned
It was by the grace of God, really,' Cramer told the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript.'If you look at the wreckage, and you look at the video of the Jeep as it was being hit, you just don't see how someone can survive that
' The Cramers flagged down another motorist, restaurateur Nuttapon 'Bank' Promploy, and together the Good Samaritans dashed through the flames to get to LaChance's mangled Jeep
The Cramers, who had some first aid training, kept LaChance's neck stable until paramedics arrived and transported him to Massachusetts General Hospital
LaChance, who majors graphic design at Keen State, was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, burns and cuts, a fractured foot, and he had to have his spleen removed, reported the Ledger-Transcript
Since the accident a week ago, the injured student has been transferred from the ICU to the Trauma Recovery Unit
His mother, Jessica, said Samuel has been making major strides on the road to recovery, including brushing his own teeth on Monday, but he still has ways to go
He has no recollection of the crash, she said, but he remembers the names of his family and girlfriend, and is able to talk to them
'Anything right now is a miracle, because he's alive,' said his mom.Samuel is now breathing on his own and has had his chest tube removed, but he is still on a feeding tube
Doctors are also keeping a close watch on brain bleeds and a tear in LaChance's carotid artery, but his mother is hopeful that within a few weeks, they would be able to transfer her son to a rehabilitation facility in Boston
Daniel LaChance, Samuel's father, expressed the depth of his gratitude to the Good Samaritans for putting themselves in harm's way to save his son's life
'I don't think words can describe how grateful I am for their quick actions to put their own lives at risk,' he told the station CBS Boston
The Cramers and Prompoy, who is a married father of two, were not hurt.The driver of the tractor-trailer, 66-year-old Jean Morency escaped with non-life-threatening injuries
Morency told WHDH he has seen the dashcam video of the crash, which he called 'horrific
' It is still unclear why LaChance's Jeep crossed the dividing line into the path of the Mack truck
Samuel's mother has been offering updates on his progress on her Facebook page and promoting the hashtag #SamStrong
Early Wednesday morning, she revealed that her son suffered a momentary setback when he was overcome by panic and fear
'The look in his eyes was of pure terror and shook me to my core,' Jessica LaChance wrote
'I know that this is to be expected.I know he will have moments like this.'I know that he is a miracle and has survived a horror that I can never fully understand
I continue to draw strength and hope that this too shall pass.'I am his momma, I will ride this rollercoaster with him through the terror and love and protect him with all that I have
' A GoFundMe campaign that has been launched to help the LaChance family with Samuel's medical bills so far has drawn more than $3,000
