In this video I go full OLD SCHOOL and do a repair on my 1999 Jeep grand Cherokee 4.0 4×4 at HOME. This winter the starter was giving me fits and I could tell it was on it’s way out AND it left me walking one time!! Now that it has warmed up a little it is time to get the job done. Let’s see what i takes to put a starter in this Jeep! -Enjoy!

You need to maybe focus on what your vehicle is titled, not splitting wood or moving tractors etc on the vehicle. Im broke down and trying to watch a video how to change the starter and you're wasting my time
nice job.
Bring some tools home Eric, or am I got to send some?
Hello, tractor.
Not to bad of a starter job at all starter sounds way better during cranking Eric O good Video as always @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Very greasy 4L there not very well potty trained nope there not they look just like that here in Arizona Covered in Oil all over the starter typical 4L Jeep for ya Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
If start getting a battery drain…. check starter solenoid
4.7 ain't near that easy to change…. no getting to it from top
Normally this is how I end up fixing my vehicles.
It's looking really wet under there. Starter is looking really oily too. Is there an oil leak, er something?
When I see that hat, you remind me of a seaman, which I have a lot of fond respect for seaman and auto mechanics!!
The Larry series are the best flashlights on the market hands down 🔦
Rat trap with peanut butter works great
I just came across your channel about a week ago so I've been watching all your videos I'd love to have a cabin like that but in Utah it would run about three hundred thousand for something like that
Mitsubishi Starter ? POS !
Thinking about getting this starter (TYC). Anyone have any experience, reviews, or opinions on this part?
I don't know how I missed this one ? Any how, should have taken it apart to see what the problem was ? A lot of times it's just caked with oil or the brushes are worn down. Fixed my MOPAR one for $ 9.00 for brushes & a total clean job.
What year is that vehicle
badass piece of property!
I'll be doing a starter as soon as it gets here.our problem was the starter was hanging up. You just needed to tap the starter case with a hammer ,then it would disengage. It looks like it's about the only thing that is easy to do on a Cherokee. I had to have a AC compressor put in. All day job. Thanks. Great source of information ðŸ‘
I love when you're under a car or a truck and you got a bolt that has limited access like that. Turns out the damn thing goes all the way out to the front bumper or something you're under there for 20 minutes just trying to get it out. I noticed one of your videos you actually use a creeper. I hate those things you got to crank on a wrench and your whole body slide out from under the car! I had three creepers at my old place and I never used any of them well except once. I'd rather lay on a tarp and just slide
A shot of Jim Beam or/and Jack D on the work bench when the job is done. I like that. My Jeep starter looked like that too, after helping a friend do his, the next one I decided to disconnect the cables and use almost a can of brake spray to get as much crud off of it as I could before starting the removal, it made for a better experience than the last one. Good informative video . This shot is for you.
Absolutely beautiful wrench work at 18:00 which I loved watching.
