Yes its mostly an around town/short trip vehicle. I do wait 20 seconds before cranking mainly for the fuel pump not so much the glow plugs, it doesnt get cold enough to ever have drivability issues even when the glow plugs throw codes, but I have to clear them to get smogged in a couple months. GP#1 came on and I was just going to replace it but 2 weeks later GP#3 popped up so now Ill just replace them all.
Not sure what you mean by camifold? The intake elbow/egr comes out, its a big pain but once all the parts are out of the way, the reach for gp#4 was actually harder for me than gp#3(im short had to stand on a chair/sit on the engine and curse)
I follow this writeup -
viewtopic.php?f=98&t=70159Just reviewing the pictures is giving me some PTSD, this will be my third time replacing them.
Thank you for the link!
Thanks to WW for your reply.
The camifold is the cam cover and inlet manifold. From the link its clear it does not need to be removed.
That elbow front inner bolt looks like a bear to undo.
I stand on a milk crate when working over the side and down deep. 5' 8" is still not tall enough.
Its a foggy cold morning here. Cant see more than 50'. When it warms up I will start on replacing the other 3 GP's. I have done #4.
I am using YOU.S GP's (7 volt
www.you-s.de) because I already had them.
Maybe a good time to remove the flapper from the elbow extension and block off the EGR if it is still opperating (I have no history about this jeep). It has 5v metal Bosch GP's.
Will let you know how I go.
