Do we know Steven jones?
@@JDWFolkart yes sir
I'm here because this video had a 100 views and I wanna support a fat American. You're not that fat dude. Plus I love these WK2s with the Pentastar. I used to work as a tech at a Dodge dealership 👍
Heeeeyyy - we crested 100 views! Pedro - thanks for the kind words. Wish I had your experience with the 3.6. It is a good lump. Easiest oil change on the market! The later gearbox is better on fuel - but this is a great truck. It's back in Music City - hopefully giving them years of worry free motoring. - JDW
@@JDWFolkart I actually watched your video through to the end. You said a lot of good information about the Pentastar regarding the oil filter and spark plug replacement. I'm a Mopar guy through and through and enjoy videos like yours that are more informative and give opinions based on ownership experience. The bigger car channels have gotten more commercialized. Keep making videos, you have a good voice and a lot of knowledge.
@@JDWFolkart PS your comment on the ease of working on the Pentastar is why I love that engine so much. After working at Chrysler in my opinion the best vehicle they, make is the Wrangler with the Pentastar, such a simple machine. PS I don't have much experience on the 5 speed automatic but the later ZF 8 speed transmissions are an absolute gem. My job was just to drop and replace them but that was only ever on the Rams, I think people abuse them by towing way more than it's capable to. Never dropped an 8 speed on anything else.

Good job on the temperature conversion!
Great story telling as usual! I enjoyed seeing all the pictures from your jeep history at the beginning. You said that you think Sport Mode could help with the driving experience.. Would operating in Sport Mode more regularly cause parts to wear out faster or burn fuel at a noticeably higher rate?
I'm sure that it will burn more fuel - not sur how much more. You can shift on the fly - so leave it in Auto until you are getting on Nashville's crazy highway system. Once you are out of the mele flip back to auto.

Thank you kind Sir! - Love your trucks!
@JDWFolkart Land Rover vehicles will get you anywhere...but there's no guarantee that they will get you home. They will get you contemplating suicide a wee after they have bankrupted you. Lets face it..they are about as reliable as Joe Bidens memory. BUT when they work, they are the best .
I wish mine had that! I'm too old to climb up in and lift the spare out!
Not cheap- but you can retro fit them - Mine was installed when I did the video... www.ebay.com/itm/116222949280
My 2008 has the newer center seat. Agree with you, that old design looks terrible! War Eagle!
I have to say - the old ones held a drink more securely - the new ones are a bit shallow - WDE
Great video. I bought a 2008 a few months ago, and I'm loving it!
Careful... it can be a gateway drug...
Great video buddy - loved seeing the L322 cruising around suburban America!
Thanks, Sam - Looong way to go before I am up to the quality of your vids!
Can't wait to get my Range Rover HSE 💪🏾
Enjoy! But be careful, it can lead to a lifetime of psycophancy
Great video. I'm starting to get Rover curious and this was pretty informative. Any opinion on LR3s?
Rodney - thanks for the comment! I have little or no experience with the LR3/LR4s - Do you subscribe to LRTime on here(www.youtube.com/@Vera_and_Christian)? They are "Disco 3 and 4" aficionados. In Europe, I believe our LR3/4 is their Disco 3/4. I have a buddy up the hill who bought an LR4 for his daughter. I can see if I can get it and take it on a drive. Less luxurious, but many of the same engines and components.
Texted my buddy. Happy to let me do a review, but his daughter is a camp counselor and won't be home until mid-July. But keep an eye out for the video by the end of July hopefully
LR4 are good in the US compared to Europe spec - we only have the V6 3liter diesel here and they are known for crank issues. the US have V8s and are pretty good overall. best most practical car I've ever owned - even with the risk of the crank :). Go for lr4 over 3, much improved imho. A Gap IID tool for diagnostics is must - have saved my $$$ and is well worth the investment
@@steveanderson6934 thanks for the insight, Steve!
@@JDWFolkart Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I haven't watched many European LR/RR videos as diesels seem to be the predominant choice of engines over there but I'll check LRTime out. From what I gather doing my research, they dropped the Discovery name in the US for a few generations to distance themselves from the issues faced by the second gen. It seems like the sweet spot is any model with the 4.4 engine. While I consider myself reasonably handy with a wrench, replacing the timing chain doesn't look like a good time.
Thanks for your time to share your experience in renge rover
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate you watching until the end! Let me know if there is other things you would like to see.
What major thing you have done for this engine?
Over the past 11 years really I have spent more on the suspension than the engine. When my daughter was driving it we had to replace some coolant line that looked like an octopus. Of course they bought Range Rover brand. It seems like it was about $900. The biggest expense that I can recall was the air conditioning compressor. I also had to replace a fuel pump and starters and alternators. That was before I figured out the ground (earth) strap was bad.
That is exactly the question I'm asking myself watching Range Rover content.
Pretty impressive how many miles you have managed to clock. Do you have a code reader? Curious if you did the paddle install yourself and how often your dash lights up.
Thanks for the kind words. I do have the GAP IID (Gen2 I believe - Purchased July 2016) I think they pay for themselves in no time. I did the paddle shifters myself - it is not a hard install. the worst part is getting the airbag off. I think I filmed some of it... just not sure where I saved the footage?!?!? After 11 years of tinkering and swapping this part and that - I really don't have many issues. Back in probably Feb or Mar, i was chasing a vacuum leak. Ended up replacing the intake seals and the rocker cover gaskets - big job, but 'while I was in there' also did spark plugs and injectors. The TPMS is on the fritz - but I used the GAP to disable it. One of these days I will take it by Discount tire, get the sensors refreshed and turn it back on. Glad you liked the video - thanks for watching!
great video, love the l322! thanks for taking the time to share.
Great truck! They're like meth... Don't try them once unless you want a lifetime habit! 😁
Great video. Note that the wires on the tailgate are not to support the weight on the tailgate - that's what the hinges are for. The wires are simply to retract the tailgate using the motors in each rear quarter panel. They take no load.
I got a certified letter from my hinges asking me to quit sitting on the tailgate 😞
😂 @@JDWFolkart

Nice job. You almost messed up on the ZF 28 but you corrected yourself. Didn’t know about the paddle kit. Do you have a link on that? Go War Eagle!
Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed it!

Terrain response actually came out in 07. I have an 06 myself. Makes me a little sad that only one year later they got all that. Haha.
Good to know! Was it all models, or just the higher spec? I thought I had seen some 2007s without it.
@@JDWFolkart I’ll chime in that all 07s in the US had terrain response. They have the extra set of vents on top of the dash, different heated seat controls, new cup holders, and an electronic parking brake became standard, among other smaller changes. The 06 has a manual parking brake and the old ignition barrel location (on the center console, not on the steering column).
@@joshxkerrigan Good Stuff! I should have researched the Terrain Response a little more - I was going off my increasingly Presidential mental faculties... I knew about the extra vents, and I like those chunkier knobs. I prefer the quirky fold out cup holder, a proper hand brake and the key barrel in the console over the dash. I'll be honest - I am kind of 'jones-ing' for a 2007 - Just so I can name him "Bond... James Bond.(007)" Thanks for watching and chiming in!
Nice video on the L322! 👍
THANKS FOR WATCHING! Did you make it all the way through?
@JDWFolkart yup, watched the whole thing! Good information
I want to this ! How did you do it
It is not an all ya gotta do - but the full thread is found here: www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic65388.html You have to find an old spinny knob to scavenge the male connector off the bottom - build a pigtail tp the flat 10 pin female connector for the L494. Towards the end of the thread are dimensions for the subframe and the filler piece. If you are serious about it - I am happy to help. Especially with the filler and sub-frame.

Shell / case replacement
Fair 'nuff
Hi! after you refill the adblue, any action should be done to remove the error from the panle? first time having RR and first time facing the ADBLUE and long trip is planned over the weekend.
Which error did you get? If you have a GAP IID you can remove the faults. Without a GAP it *should* reset itself after about 30 miles and a couple of key cycles. Note that this is based on my experience. I don't want you to get stranded. Can you drive it around the house some before the big trip?
how do we 'measure' or know the remaining def level without a gap tool and if the service menu is inaccurate? Last month it suddenly ran low and give me 250miles warning even though the service menu said ~4k DEF left....
I don't have a great answer on that. I will see what I can find. I'm not saying that the sensors are completely wrong, I just think they throw red herring errors. Rather than saying DEF low... It says Quality error. If you look in the service menu and it has 7500 miles on DEF, I think you are fine. I will fill mine when I get home and report the mileage back. 'They' say to not overfill the DEF, but I have not had a problem with it overfilled. I say fill it to the brim!
Re-read that on the laptop (I don't do well on the phone). That is quite a discrepancy - you may have a different issue. I think that my service menu saying (right now) 6997 miles to Empty DEF is correct - or close to it. GAP IID says Overfilled - remove 3L and test again. When I was getting the DEF Quality issue the Service menu and the warning miles were counting down together. I just think that the DEF Quality Issue 250miles is the incorrect message. It could possibly be a message to scare you into taking it to the dealer... Friend of mine, his 2016 makes a bong he doesn't recognize and it is booked to the Indy - it's nice to have rich friends... I would recommend filling it until it bubbles out the top of the fill neck. That may take some doing - they appear to get airlocked quite a bit. I don't know if the fill level is detected ultrasonically or if it is a physical float sensor. If it is ultrasonic and you had an air bubble - it could have been reading the liquid level on top of the air bubble, whereas the nozzle wasn't getting head pressure... complete guess. Sorry I don't have a better answer.
@@JDWFolkart yes thanks for your reply. i have been to dealer and shops lots of times the past 2 years due to the quality countdown. the dealer said it was not really a 'quality' thing, which we all know. dealer said it is either too low or the computer sending the def is wrong (too fast or too slow, while too fast can create problems more). later last year, i stopped going to dealer (they told me their diesel mechanic left or maybe they dont want to deal with this anymore, IN forwayne) and i started to go to a shop much closer to me. eg, last week shop said the countdown last time was due to 'completely empty def tank'. it was a easy and relatively cheap fix. so i wonder how i can measure it using my hand as i dont trust service menu 100% now lol .. i read from forum before, like you said, the sensor is ultrasonic can measure bubbles, so now i will keep adding 0.5gal every 2 weeks.. also the engine light keeps popping on, i need to check it and i think its the stupid EGR flow low again.... i will try to reset it but if not working, i dont care as long as theres no countdown....are you in IN too?
Atlanta GA. My advice would be to get a couple of the screw on bottles and take your time. On the second bottle I removed it about 2 or 3 times, let it settle and then it took more. From what you spent at the dealer, I think a GAP IID would be a good investment. I want to say $575 for 1VIN. In theory you should get 500 miles per liter. If you're going through double that, you may have a bad nozzle. Have you tried cleaning it? 30 min job on Ramps. Also a lot of great info on fullfatrr.com and Facebook groups.
@@JDWFolkart good advice, last time i cleaned it was in 2022 Oct, i will take a look at nozzle too... that time the dealer replaced the nozzle while i was on a trip in Wisconsin and stranded... ripped off lol
going to wallerd out mine tomorrow, thanks! don't worry, i grew up in TX and appreciate what that means :)
Just use a funnel
Heeeyyyy!! A comment! I love it - thank you. Have you tried the 2.5 gal jug in a box with a funnel? The even make DEF funnels that are light blue, but you are lifting a 20+ LB thing at an odd angle. On mine it only took a trickle and I ended up spilling that nasty stuff all down the front fender (wing?). of the 2.5Gal, I bet 2ish made it in with the funnel. For me - $15 is well worth the price of the (now reusable) apparatus. Thanks again for weighing in! - JDW
@@JDWFolkart yes. I use a jug and a funnel so i can make sure i don't overfil.
@@gavinvale2865 for me - overfill has worked out much better than letting it run low. I don't think that .38 L is overfilled greatly. Thanks again for watching.
Great walkthrough, thanks Are the sensors separate from the wiring harness or all included with the part number? Probably a dumb question
Sensors are all separate. I will try to find a part #.

There it is. Much different location than where it's at on the regular explorer. Thanks.
DUDE! SUPER THANKS for posting this video!!!! And to think this was 4 YEARS AGO...... Content wasn't the easiest to find, but so glad my "extensive" internet search found this buried on KZread, b/c my previous KZread exclusive searches got me in the haystack, but far from the needle buried within. Upgraded the lights on my 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac from halogen bulbs to the new LED standards, which triggered my Turn Signals into "hyper-flash" mode. I started the quest using other posted references and clues until I hit the proverbial roadblock and stopped to avoid tearing up something in frustration. Your post put me dead on target: 1.) Significant design change in this model year; while the fuse panel is in the cabin, the main fuse relay box sits under the hood in the engine bay and then there's this column of relays you point out in your video. 2.) Ford made zero mention in the owner's manual about where the turn signal relay is positioned or how to identify it. 3.) I stopped when preliminary search @ fuse boxes yielded nothing and I couldn't remove the panel under the steering column due to the hood release mounts - which I see you'd already exhausted. 4.) Others mentioned the clicking sound resonated in the area you mentioned, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the cover to access it. 5.) Hunted the Internet/KZread a 4th time and stumbled across your video and it all made sense Literally a 5 min repair/replacement, where I'd already spent a half hour/45mins trying to find it + re-watching non applicable videos.... Nothing like have the right tools for a job AND knowing what you're doing. I'm far from a mechanical wiz and frequently struggle with "easy" jobs. So glad this was much easier than the typical 10min KZread video that literally takes 4+ hours (a day +) for a novice to perform. Fumbled my way thru several of those rather complex installs; door window lift motor/frame assembly, chassis/cabin bushings, etc... Replacing the relay was/is a much simpler SOLUTION than installing the LED resistors at each turn signal light. Lifesaver for this novice mechanic! Subscribed to your channel with hopes you have more tips & content to share on this vehicle.
Is that also for a 2001 Ford Explorer sport
