This engine swap will be the best thing that you could do to a Jeep. I put a 6 liter LQ4 in my 89 Wrangler 8 years ago. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. You're gonna love it.

My first car was a 67 jeep that we put a Ford 302 in it and bolted it to the original Jeep transmission. It was a 3 speed, had a top speed of like 58mph but it would pull the front wheels off the ground all the way into third gear, loved that thing!! The sound was insane!

One thing you left out when running the 4l60 was the brake light switch (or equivalent relay pack). If the ECM doesn't know if you're on the brake or not, that will screw with the lock up function on the torque converter. Also, since you're keeping the factory fuse box, why not keep the wires running to the fuel pump? There's already a relay in the fuse box to power it and the wires were already there.

Seems like there's different directions on the 3 square bolt in plugs? What to use etc. Or either they've cut what's not needed/but don't say which ones they cut/but REALLY want u to know how to remove the pins. 700.00 is high but.i think I'm gunna buy new.

Great video. Im new to the ls swap world. Bought a donor truck with a 6.0 with a 4L80e to put in my Jeep LJ build. Was wondering if removing things like the evap sensor, O2 sensors, ect will cause a check engine light since the factory computer wont see them anymore and if so will they affect it engine performance. I wont be using the factory gauges from the truck or the Jeep but will be using aftermarket gauges so the check engine light won't even be existent. Also will be putting in a reverse manual valve body in the trans so i have yet to figure out what needs to be left of that harness.

@ConnorGuldner 4 ай бұрын

You can remove all that stuff! Whatever you don’t need. (Keep the front 02 sensors) you’re able to reprogram the factory computer and disable the check engine light codes for anything you disconnect! You can also disable the VATS. I used a program called Universal Patcher check it out!

I just went yesterday and pulled a complete harness out of 09' Yukon. I got the Ecu and the starter and alternator. I am using the OE harness cause it is made way better then the Amazon or E-Bay harness. It's a N/a build so I won't be doing the Holley Terminator X Max with the 6 speed expansion box. It's $2400. I paid $200 for the all of it. The problem with the Amazon harnesses and the E-Bay harnesses is no one really knows how long they will last. Yea you can get harnesses for $80 to $300 but will they last longer then a year. Inferior plastic. No thank you lol.

If I have a DBW setup, but want to convert to a DBC, how would I go about that as far as the wire harness? I also need to get a PCM, my factory PCM is not compatible to convert to DBC...so, I feel in this case, $80 ebay harness might be the better way to go? TIA...nice video! Very thorough!!!

@ConnorGuldner 4 ай бұрын

You need a dbc throttle body, DBC computer, and DBC harness to modify. Still cheaper to get these things off a truck at the junkyard! I wouldn’t touch an 80$ harness lol that’s just me tho

@buck902 Ай бұрын

My current engine had a dbw setup. I can get a whole harness and pcm for a dbc and be done correct? all other sensors should be the same. I shoukd be able to get a harness and pcm from a older silverado and be plug n play right? @@ConnorGuldner

Do you actually need the neutral safety switch or just saying that for safety reasons? Edit: okay. I see you used the factory wire for the starter so do need to to crank over. Doesn't effect shifting of the trans without it does it?

The neutral safety switch is for automatic transmissions!

The $80 standalone harnesses make this job almost not worth the time anymore. But great info.

@ConnorGuldner 4 ай бұрын

The 80$ standalone harness wouldn’t even come close to the quality of the factory harness! They’re often made incorrectly, horrible quality control, and don’t include the factory safety features. In my opinion it’s worth saving the factory harness 🙏

@kyletice811 4 ай бұрын

@@ConnorGuldner what safety features? Most factory harnessess i find are falling apart being as gen 3 stuff is 20 years old now. I have bought probably 10 of the cheap china harnesses and only 1 had a pinout issue. Material quality isnt the best but also it’s a budget build item.

@UnknownJJP 4 ай бұрын

on a budget build sometimes its better to save that $80 somewhere else, especially when you can do it yourself, learn your engine, and have that pride factor once its on the trail...You truly know the quality of your own work. and we all know the lack of quality on that $80 harness your referencing

@Bobbywolf64 3 ай бұрын

10 years from now that china special is going to be full of intermittent connections from poor crimps and poor pin retention. The factory connections are simply better. Loads of people do not have the initiative to do it themselves, and that is fine, but when they are not willing to shell out for a good brand name harness, and decide on the china option you are asking for trouble. Will it work? Probably. After a few years? I have serious doubts.
