this video is sick, and the fact that there a virtually no flamers here makes it even better!... on a side note, I also agree with wilkinskid1's comment, pulling over 200 out of a 4 cylinder is fun, ive pulled over 200 out of my volvo and its fun as hell!
@davidbherzfeld I know, no flamers at all I am surprised. You usually get a few people that like to give you a hard time. Thanks for watching the video.
We just bought a used one owner 5.9 with 179K on it. Owner did a full tune up with tri-fire plugs,upgraded wires,cap and rotor. Also did brakes 3k ago. She wanted to be sure the Jeep wouldn't give us trouble at all.
Runs like a scalded dog! Idles at 600,0-100 in just over 15 seconds. Silver one.
Paid 4 grand for it,and I am not sad about it. I raced a teen 3 days ago in a 95 Must. GT from a stop light,it melted him! 93 Octane is pricey when only 13 mpg is achieved.
@PrinceofPeace9957 yea I have had it up to 125 in 3rd but thats taching like 5 grand. Things get a little hairy at those kinds of speeds, especially in a jeep. If OD didn't kill the top end so bad you could prolly get the thing up a lot higher.
@chump1516 Fastest ive ever taken my Niner was 113, and thats on tires that are rated for 80 max so... Not attempting to break my record until I get new tires and an alignment done. :P
You know one thing I noticed is when i actually step on the gas and go 0-100 or really quickly it actually really scares me. If you have ever driven a ZJ and gone 0-120mph like i did once you will know what im talking about. I went 0-120 when i first got it and yea.. felt like i was going to flip the road curved very slightly and the slightest little turn i had to actually veer off into the other lane a little to keep it stable. I'll never go above 75mph they are way too lopsided
I love my 5.9. Stock, they were rated at 7.3 0-60, tested at 6.8 0-60 with a 15.2 @ 89mph 1/4 mile. The 5.7 has been tested at the same times, as as the 4.7 HO in the WJ.
A 5.7 WK weighs around 4800 - 5000 lbs. A ZJ varies from 3750 - 4250 depending on year, options, etc. A 5.9 is around 4200.
@1ownjoo2..the 5.9 actually weighs just over 4200 pounds. I have a 98 5.2 and weighed it on the truck scale at work and it was just over 4200.. and also hp doesn't affect the sound of a vehicle and visa versa. So saying the 5.9 sounds better even with 175 less hp than the srt8 is just stupid. It's like saying fat ppl fart louder than skinny ppl. hahaha
Well the sound gets a lil different due to the different compression, but not much at all if you compare the two motors (5.2, 5.9) without exhausts on 'em. The exhaust is what matters the most, and with a larger one stock on the 5.9 the sound is louder and deeper with the stock 5.9.
I thought this would be a lot faster. It's about 7 seconds flat, but I mean my 4.0 liter jeep could do 7.5 seconds from 0-60. THe new srt8 jeep though is the BEST!
@drippinblood28 unless you have a turbo or some serious mods theres no way in hell ur 4.0 does 0-60 in 7.5 its more like 9.4 secs and 7 seconds for a stock car in 1998 thats weighs around 4000 and has only 245 hp is pretty damn good.
@Georgecostanza1231 Oh yea, the srt8 is a beast i would love to have one, but a 5.9 will do. Im sure the 5.7 is up there too. Prolly just about as fast if not faster than the 5.9
@1ownjoo2 I agree, the jeeps with 5.7 hemi are actually about a full second slower. They weigh like 5000 pounds compared to like 3,000 pounds in the zjs.
@drippinblood28 Yea the ZJ curb weight is 3200 Pounds, but thats standard equipment, I assume with the 5.9 and it being limited it probably weighs a couple houndred more pounds then the standard ZJ with the I6. Same goes with the 5.7, i would say the 5.7 weighs around 5200 and the 5.9 weighs around 3400 or so. Thats almost 2k more pounds. The 5.7 has only 30ish more pounds of torque, the extra weight tho is the downside. Altho the 5.7 has more HP and its 5 speed, its faster in long run
One thing tho, is the 5.9 sounds better stock then the 5.7 and even the SRT8, ive listend to a SRT8 in person at a dealership and the 5.9 sounds alot meaner, even tho its got like 160 less hp.
Ya here in Washington, the lowest I have ever paid was for Regular Leaded gas at $.96 a gallon. That was over 20 years ago.
While looking into your claim, I found the US governments statistical data for average prices of gas since 1992, which starts off at $1.08 a gallon on the East Coast. Seems there was a bit of a drop in cost in the mid 90s, not for long though. Dont even remember paying $1.10 in '98.
I agree with that, my dad raced for years in a 1969 Dodge dart swinger with a 340 4 speed in it stock and he was up against several 427's and 454's and he won every time, this is with out a handicap in the times, so floppycock9 you have no idea, n JeepMan19007 I love the vid
I get about 18-20 highway which isnt bad at all. But i dont do very much highway driving. I guess the exhaust and CAI helped. But once you get an exhaust it seems like you use more gas just because you like to listen to it haha. This is an old video...Now I have headers, ported intake, bored throttle body, 180 Thermostat, and it is tuned using SCT tuner.
what you said about using more gas cuz you like the sound is so true....I get 9mpg city in a 4.0L Ranger on a good day but 27-29mpg on the highway. Headers, cat-back, Super 44, and custom intake get the job done!
your first shifts around 35, second is little over 60. my 5.2 zj first is 45, second is 75 on redline. im running 3.73 gears, and i think the non-upcountry's run 3.55 gears. so assuming the tranny ratios are the same (or close), the shift points shouldnt be so low on yours. gaaa i hate the long ratios
Oh, his is geared more for towing and things like that, its the same engine diff tune and diff gears and stuff like that. When I am taching like 2k at 65mph he is prolly only taching 1500 or 1250.
well the reason he's friend's dodge truck is around 2000 rpm at 65 is becuase your overdrive gear is the same ratio, while the others before it are shorter
The only thing Chevy did right was create the small block back in the 50's. Dodge perfected the design with their LA blocks. Chevrolet 350 is a good engine in its own right and parts are readily available, however nothing is easier to service than a Dodge product. I have over 140K on my one 5.9L and I only do one oil change a year on it. I replaced the valve cover gaskets when I installed some 1.7 roller rockers and the cross hatch marks are still clearly visible. Earlier tundras were very light
Big block and small block are different playing fields. It pains me that no one offers a big block gas engine anymore for light duty use. GM has it still, but for it's commercial Kodiak & Topkick models and for marine use only. At least small block GMs can be had for less money, as far as replacement cost per HP.
There's a performance chain here in Ontario that carries engines ready to run. The only problem is the majority of them aren't compliant with current emissions. emissions are only tested every two years in Ontario, and the MTO (US equivalent of DOT) can do random spot checks to make sure you are in compliance. There is an age cutoff for emissions, but I think it's 20-22years.
well those are big block motors and chevys 454 beats the shit out of all the mopar crap plus i drive a dodge and its so slow as fuck my moms CHEVY minivan is faster then it
im a chevy fan, and if u ask a chevy person about their motor, they know. most dodge guys don't know why their motor is called a "hemi". its easy to look up online and look smart, but how many know on the spot? try it. :)
@wilkinskid1 a hemi as the name implies has a hemispherical combustion chamber dude. I know about the engine. trust me. The hemi is such a great design top fuel dragsters use it for their engines. Back before nascar BANNED the hemi it was winning almost every time 1st 2nd and 3rd. So don't even try to say it isnt a great if not best design.
ur cool, man. i never did knock the Hemi. just ppl whom think they know what they are talking about online because they can look it up before replying. but i think that my point is valid, if u were to ask some big mouth about the hemi he is rambling on about and what it all means, i dont think many would be as adept at an intelligent answer as you.
ur perfectly alright. not to sound like a hippie here, but i respect all cars for what they are good at. and understand most of their short comings. e.g.: 200hp from a 4 cyl is amazing. 136 lb ft of tq isn't. 0-60 in 5.5 secs for a v-8 is awesome, lugging the extra weight isn't. that sort of thing. and this jeep is amazing. and after dodge fixed the trans primary lube lines in its cars, they got a lot better. now i just wish they would tell mitsu to take a hike. lol.
bull shit u ever heard of the turbo 400 the 700r4 and the turbo350 they are just about bullit proof oh and chevy dose make cool vehicals like the corrvett the k5 blazer the camero yeah thats better then chrysler
@benspilk900 r u fucking retarded the th400 700r4 and th350 r very durable trannys and dodge trannys r peices of shit and there moters r too the chevys are just better quality
@floppycock9 You are, since you still can't spell, and try to tell that to my friends Chevelle which is on its 6th th400 transmission in less than 20,000 miles, and he is making less than 400 horsepower. Just pure pathetic. At least he is going with a 4 speed this time since I showed him the light of manual transmissions. 700r4's are pure shit too, even chevy guys know that so your an extra dumb one. Its pretty sad that an carburated 80 hp 2.8 v6 tore up the 700r4 in my friends s10 too.
@benspilk900 really cuz the700r4 in my truck held up for 250000miles and the small block 350 was making 400hp and it was abused and btw i can spell i just dont give a fuck about spelling shit on youtube your an idiot
I agree. My old(er) C1500 doesn't come close to comparing with my 5.9L Durango. it's a good engine, only wish I had 600lbs less curb weight like the JGC does.
stock is 245hp/345ft/lb torque. Right now I have Bored throttle body, ported intake, K&N intake, doug thorley headers, full 3" exhaust with magnaflow highflow cat and flowmaster 50 series, and its tuned with SCT tuner. I have no idea what kind of power I am putting out now. That video is just Cat back exhaust and K&N CAI
Im thinking about 300 at the crank, next will be heads and cam. But a lot of ppl make their own CIA and have had a lot of success. Just have to buy some tubing and some type of cone filter. But buying it is just easier. If you check out some jeep forums they have some write ups on there on how to make them.
No. Last Dyno was at 268hp and 362lb ft with light mods..SCT, CAI and some ignition upgrades. I can't tell you what it is at the crank, but estimating a 20% drivetrain loss with full time AWD I'd put it close to 315hp and around 425ft lb. Stock it put out 250hp and 350lb ft at the crank on the R/T models due to different PCM in 2000.
It was strong as low as 1800rpms and peaked at 3600rpm if I'm not mistaken. It was a bit high, I remember that much. Stock peak was 3200rpm. I need to get 1.7 roller rockers and upgrade my headers to ceramic units. Then I can get another custom tune done to get the most out of the system. I forgot to add that I had also installed a 52mm TB, where stock was 50mm. I could've pushed it to a 53mm but without a supercharger and other addons it wouldn't benefit me more than a 52mm would.
Hell yeah thats what i love about these 5.9's pretty good mileage in town and great when you keep ur foot off the gas and with a few simple mods can get up and go
I have a kegger that i just ported, and im about to order a bored TB. Then I am going to get SCT tuner with tunes. I will be able to use different tunes and also be able to have new tunes made for when i mod it more. I can have it set up specifically for the mods i already have done.
I have a 79 5.9l V8 and I can't wait to get it on the road. I have everything extra off of it. all the emissions crap that bog it down. plus the a/c and steering. Its just fuel to engine- engine to ground & alternator
You see I just hate conflict, I was just stating the facts as I believed that my car can keep up with this Jeep, instead someone had to open their big mouth and tell me to burn my car with me in it. I can be the most friendly person in the world, but the world isnt ready for such a nice and respectfull person so I crap on people.
Its spelled "venereal" fuck stick and way to be original with that one.LiL Wayne much. And the reason I commented is because I helped install some of the things he put on the jeep.I've seen this jeep in action. So...umm. Shut the fuck up.
Well yes thankyou, at least you agreed that my cobalt can keep up with this car. Now get yourself a real car if you are serious about going fast, because i know that I am not. Stop lying to yourself thinking that piece of crap jeep will ever be able to keep up with anything, even an F-350 turbo diesel, because it probably can't. Why dont you just dump that car in the lake and claim the insurance so you can get yourself a real car, make sure your still in the car though. Bye Possie
No, thats not what i meant a V8 would kick the shit out of your econ-box accountant designed car. If your looking for a proper car, see the Germans; Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes and so forth. As for the ford F-350, its to busy trying to keep up with t2b5 regulations with its new 6.4 piece of shit under its hood so don't even bring up that farmer; stock-trailer pulling shit box as a racer.
Can someone please tell me how the 5.9 goes through 50-60 mph so quick and keeps going hard? The 5.2 goes until 50 almost the same and then drops a lot in acceleration from 50 and upwards. The engine power difference is not so dramatical at all - where's the catch?
@er1k325 except the 93-95 5.2s, they got the 46RH.. 96-98 5.2s got the 44RE.. in 98 the 5.9 got the 46RE... and you forgot to add the 360 has about 30 more HP than the 318...
Mopar used to make a high performance ecu but it was discontinued you can find one occasionally on ebay or something. Or you can send your stock ecu to be flashed. Search B&G flashes. I dont have an ecu for my jeep so i really couldnt tell you how well the respond. I know they raise shift points remove top speed limiter and change the timing. I am not sure what else they do, i think they custom tune it to the mods that you have on your jeep.
I havnt heard many great things about chips, they work at first but the ecu learns what the chips is trying to do and corrects for that. I dont think a dealership can do it, you just ship your ecu to B&G and they flash it for you. The mopar ecu was a seperate unit that replaced your stock ecu. But you can just send your stock one out if u can be without the jeep for a little while. If not you can buy another ecu form a 5.9 and they can flash that one for u. they just need the vin and stuff.
wow your stupid 442olds. i own both a 5.9 and a 2001 XJ 4.0, and the acceleration is like night and day..... no comparison........ at all......... period........
Don't get me wrong, i love my jeep, its 5.2. But i wouldn't mind being the owner of a 5.9, its like its own bread of Grand.

...ive had a 5.9 before and now a 5.2.
performance is similar, 5.9 has an electric fan and 5.2 has mechanical.
5.9 is a tad faster..but people want too much for them. i only got $5500 for mine 3 years ago...people still ask 8-9k for em.
blunt5261 2 years ago
ok thanks. i cant decide to get a 5.2 or 5.9 because the 5.2s get up n go almosst as fast as the 5.9s
ESH318V8 2 years ago
Not really, the 5.9 is 20 more hp and 45 ft/lb of torque. I have owned both of them and can tell you the 5.9 is way faster.

Plus customizations on the 5.9 have better results then on the 5.2s

if this is the same 5.9 that was in the truck then somethings wrong here lol
or you have it moded one of the two
cause my friend has the 5.9 and its a pig
gdcod3player 2 years ago
I am confused what you are trying to say? Are you asking if this is the same 5.9 they put in the dodge rams. Yes it is.
chump1516 2 years ago
then urs is quick
lol
my friend has the 5.9 in his truck
that thing can barely keep up with my chevy
gdcod3player 2 years ago
Oh, his is geared more for towing and things like that, its the same engine diff tune and diff gears and stuff like that. When I am taching like 2k at 65mph he is prolly only taching 1500 or 1250.
chump1516 2 years ago
nah its around 2k lol
gdcod3player 2 years ago
well the reason he's friend's dodge truck is around 2000 rpm at 65 is becuase your overdrive gear is the same ratio, while the others before it are shorter

5.9 will kill 350, proven.
chevys have nice sound and power, mopars have durability and the ability to "be cool"
blunt5261 2 years ago
HA NO IT WONT
my friend has the 5.9 and it wont even touch my freaking tundra
let alone my camaro WITH A 350
mopars arent durable either they do have great power along with chevy but the chevys can be more of a daily driver
still though proven time and time again
SMALL BLOCK CHEVY and BIG BLOCK CHEVY are KINGS
along with the LS series of course
gdcod3player 2 years ago
The only thing Chevy did right was create the small block back in the 50's. Dodge perfected the design with their LA blocks. Chevrolet 350 is a good engine in its own right and parts are readily available, however nothing is easier to service than a Dodge product. I have over 140K on my one 5.9L and I only do one oil change a year on it. I replaced the valve cover gaskets when I installed some 1.7 roller rockers and the cross hatch marks are still clearly visible. Earlier tundras were very light
RT360ci 2 years ago
HA the big block chevy are power houses
even compared to the hemis
yes the hemis had LOTS OF POWER but the big block chevy was always ahead
the LS styled engines are just that much better than the big block
plus the hemis dont last worth a crap compared to the chevys
gdcod3player 2 years ago
Big block and small block are different playing fields. It pains me that no one offers a big block gas engine anymore for light duty use. GM has it still, but for it's commercial Kodiak & Topkick models and for marine use only. At least small block GMs can be had for less money, as far as replacement cost per HP.

gdcod3player 2 years ago
There's a performance chain here in Ontario that carries engines ready to run. The only problem is the majority of them aren't compliant with current emissions. emissions are only tested every two years in Ontario, and the MTO (US equivalent of DOT) can do random spot checks to make sure you are in compliance. There is an age cutoff for emissions, but I think it's 20-22years.
RT360ci 2 years ago
yea, we have that here in cali.... i hate emissions
gdcod3player 2 years ago
mopars are durable, because they are still alive. mopar didnt have to kill brands off because they were shitty, such as hummer, saab, and oldsmobile.
take a 318 versus 350..318 wins.
...my 318 beats a tundra, hands down.

false...ever hear of the hemi?
JeepMan19007 2 years ago
yeah ive heard of the fucking hemi and the ram jet 350 makes more power than it
floppycock9 2 years ago
Well if your comparing a crate engine to a stock hemi then maybe but a crate 392 Hemi or 426 definitely puts out more power/ci
JeepMan19007 2 years ago
well those are big block motors and chevys 454 beats the shit out of all the mopar crap plus i drive a dodge and its so slow as fuck my moms CHEVY minivan is faster then it
floppycock9 2 years ago
im a chevy fan, and if u ask a chevy person about their motor, they know. most dodge guys don't know why their motor is called a "hemi". its easy to look up online and look smart, but how many know on the spot? try it. :)
wilkinskid1 2 years ago
@wilkinskid1 a hemi as the name implies has a hemispherical combustion chamber dude. I know about the engine. trust me. The hemi is such a great design top fuel dragsters use it for their engines. Back before nascar BANNED the hemi it was winning almost every time 1st 2nd and 3rd. So don't even try to say it isnt a great if not best design.
JeepMan19007 2 years ago
@wilkinskid1 sorry thought you were that other guy i was talking to on here.
JeepMan19007 2 years ago
ur cool, man. i never did knock the Hemi. just ppl whom think they know what they are talking about online because they can look it up before replying. but i think that my point is valid, if u were to ask some big mouth about the hemi he is rambling on about and what it all means, i dont think many would be as adept at an intelligent answer as you.
wilkinskid1 2 years ago
That is very true man I agree. Again i'm sorry on goin off on you I jumped to the conclusion that you were that other guy dissin on the hemi. My bad
JeepMan19007 2 years ago
ur perfectly alright. not to sound like a hippie here, but i respect all cars for what they are good at. and understand most of their short comings. e.g.: 200hp from a 4 cyl is amazing. 136 lb ft of tq isn't. 0-60 in 5.5 secs for a v-8 is awesome, lugging the extra weight isn't. that sort of thing. and this jeep is amazing. and after dodge fixed the trans primary lube lines in its cars, they got a lot better. now i just wish they would tell mitsu to take a hike. lol.

chevy transmissions fuck up just as much as chrysler transmissions.

@floppycock9 You are, since you still can't spell, and try to tell that to my friends Chevelle which is on its 6th th400 transmission in less than 20,000 miles, and he is making less than 400 horsepower. Just pure pathetic. At least he is going with a 4 speed this time since I showed him the light of manual transmissions. 700r4's are pure shit too, even chevy guys know that so your an extra dumb one. Its pretty sad that an carburated 80 hp 2.8 v6 tore up the 700r4 in my friends s10 too.
benspilk900 1 year ago
@benspilk900 really cuz the700r4 in my truck held up for 250000miles and the small block 350 was making 400hp and it was abused and btw i can spell i just dont give a fuck about spelling shit on youtube your an idiot

I agree. My old(er) C1500 doesn't come close to comparing with my 5.9L Durango. it's a good engine, only wish I had 600lbs less curb weight like the JGC does.
RT360ci 1 year ago
So you are at 245 horse and 310 lbs of torque?
gdcod3player 2 years ago
stock is 245hp/345ft/lb torque. Right now I have Bored throttle body, ported intake, K&N intake, doug thorley headers, full 3" exhaust with magnaflow highflow cat and flowmaster 50 series, and its tuned with SCT tuner. I have no idea what kind of power I am putting out now. That video is just Cat back exhaust and K&N CAI
chump1516 2 years ago
oh so about 270 or so?
you have done alot to it my friend wants to do a cold air but cant figure out if he wants to make it or buy it lol
gdcod3player 2 years ago
Im thinking about 300 at the crank, next will be heads and cam. But a lot of ppl make their own CIA and have had a lot of success. Just have to buy some tubing and some type of cone filter. But buying it is just easier. If you check out some jeep forums they have some write ups on there on how to make them.
chump1516 2 years ago
No. Last Dyno was at 268hp and 362lb ft with light mods..SCT, CAI and some ignition upgrades. I can't tell you what it is at the crank, but estimating a 20% drivetrain loss with full time AWD I'd put it close to 315hp and around 425ft lb. Stock it put out 250hp and 350lb ft at the crank on the R/T models due to different PCM in 2000.
RT360ci 2 years ago
torque monster
what was the peak at?
gdcod3player 2 years ago
It was strong as low as 1800rpms and peaked at 3600rpm if I'm not mistaken. It was a bit high, I remember that much. Stock peak was 3200rpm. I need to get 1.7 roller rockers and upgrade my headers to ceramic units. Then I can get another custom tune done to get the most out of the system. I forgot to add that I had also installed a 52mm TB, where stock was 50mm. I could've pushed it to a 53mm but without a supercharger and other addons it wouldn't benefit me more than a 52mm would.

No, thats not what i meant a V8 would kick the shit out of your econ-box accountant designed car. If your looking for a proper car, see the Germans; Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes and so forth.

er1k325 3 years ago
Can someone please tell me how the 5.9 goes through 50-60 mph so quick and keeps going hard? The 5.2 goes until 50 almost the same and then drops a lot in acceleration from 50 and upwards. The engine power difference is not so dramatical at all - where's the catch?
speedbird1229 3 years ago
Could be that the 5.9 is benifiting from its taller 1st and 2nd gears. Second gear winds out well into the 60s.

4. Lighter wheels
5. heat release vents on hood
6. more open grille (more air to radiator)
7. rear speaker bar with 2 speakers and 2 tweeters on ceiling in back
8... all the perks and trims come stock except the upcountry suspension and towing pieces (skid plates I think were extra too)
(46RE tranny instead of the 44RE in the 5.2, 3 inch pipes... electric fan motor is a bitch to replace unless you buy the fan and fan cover with it)

chump1516 3 years ago
do ecu's help these jeeps a lot? What are good options of ecu's or chips to use?
85305 3 years ago
Mopar used to make a high performance ecu but it was discontinued you can find one occasionally on ebay or something. Or you can send your stock ecu to be flashed. Search B&G flashes. I dont have an ecu for my jeep so i really couldnt tell you how well the respond. I know they raise shift points remove top speed limiter and change the timing. I am not sure what else they do, i think they custom tune it to the mods that you have on your jeep.
chump1516 3 years ago
Thats some good shit man. Where can you send your stock ECU?? To mopar or a dealership? I'll look into B&G though..
But do you hear that chips help these jeeps out a lot or what? Typically chips do a lot for American cars...
85305 3 years ago
I havnt heard many great things about chips, they work at first but the ecu learns what the chips is trying to do and corrects for that. I dont think a dealership can do it, you just ship your ecu to B&G and they flash it for you. The mopar ecu was a seperate unit that replaced your stock ecu. But you can just send your stock one out if u can be without the jeep for a little while. If not you can buy another ecu form a 5.9 and they can flash that one for u. they just need the vin and stuff.
