Radiart Tone Control - The First Equalizer
Great video!! Would you say the Patriot is a fairly well-built reliable vehicle? I have an Xterra for off road use, but considering a Patriot for winter in Michigan for everyday use.
In my opinion they are supremely average with all the good and bad that accompanies that word. I see them everywhere, in fact typing this I'm in a parking lot across from one.. I know they sold a lot but there seems to still be a lot on the road, even 15 year old ones. The rear subframe rots in rust states but it's not difficult or expensive to replace. 2014+ models with the 6 speed auto trans are usually preferred over the earlier CVT
Was you able to come up with a way to get more horsepower to the jeep patriot? I’m very interested in a way to do this, I know it’s not gonna be a racer or win a drag race, but would like to beef up the power if possible, I’m about to buy a 2015 4x4 patriot. Do you have any input on this?
The motor already makes about as much as it's going to make naturally aspirated, peak horsepower happens at 6000 rpm which tells us there's no trouble breathing. Even the much newer 2.4L Ecotec from GM with direct injection only makes 7 additional ft-lbs of torque. So far I have never seen anyone successfully integrate forced induction (turbo or supercharge) on a Patriot, it's really not worth doing anyway because for the cost you could just buy a more powerful car if you wanted a more powerful car. If you're still shopping and you don't think the Patriot has enough power, keep shopping.
Hello there. I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude. I want to put different wheels and tires on it. You mention scan module to plug in to the obd2 port. Where do you get that module from?
If you go to jscan dot net, that's the application you'll need for an android or iOS device. the application is free but you need to license it for your VIN if you want to make changes to your Jeep, pretty affordable. They also have a list of compatible adapters on that site, many of them are also very affordable and can be used for any vehicle made after 1996 to diagnose trouble codes & reset check engine lights.
They both sounded great. Thanks for the vid and valuable info. I just got a 2000 V6 and desperately need to change the exhaust 😅
Glad I could help! If it's in your budget to go true dual instead of the Y pipe stuff shown here I think it's a good idea, the Y is really hard to fit just right
Wow i might grab some for my 95
When looking for replacements, check out Coopers new Discoverer Road & Trail.
On your advice I checked those out, they look like a good fit in every way except the actual fit - they don't make 'em in 285/70R17. I did see the Cooper Discoverer Stronghold which is available in this size and has the 3 peak snowflake thing. I won't be in the market this year but next fall I hope to be tire shopping and those are on the list!
Kick out front window 4 fun
PS it's Kristian
It takes way more energy to swap to power windows, than it takes to use a crank once in a while.
Great job, cool mods, real handyman!
Holy crap that's what been going on with my cruise control
Don't drive to Miami though. Don't go to Miami on/in ANY kind of transportation. That place sucks.
I can still go get Cyber Pizza though right?
Thank you for this. I just got my 235/75r/15s put on my 2017 Patriot today. Looks great! I was going to get a 2 inch lift but they seem to charge a lot to install it so I think I’ll just stick with it as is and send the kit back. Let me know what you think, be blessed!
Congrats! Just my opinion these Jeeps don't benefit from a lift, unless cosmetic appearance is your main goal. If it's just about looks? Sure. If it's about capability you've got some real limited overall suspension travel (CV axle interference up front, wild camber changes in back) so what you gain in clearance you give up in ride and articulation - not to mention how many people wind up struggling with alignment after a lift.
Have you replaced brake fluid on your Patriot? How do you get fluid out of reservoir? Will turkry baster work? Seems like it goes deep on other side
I just did extended manual brake bleeding until I had gone through a whole quart. There's an ABS cycle you can run to flush the ABS pump, using JSCAN too but that's mostly for when you replace an ABS pump assembly or when the brake system has gone dry (cut hose, collision damage, etc) - there's so little left inside the actual pump that I didn't think it was worth cycling that just for a routine fluid replacement.
@@shoveI So you did not siphon anything out thru reservoir!? You just bleeded thru bleed screws on the calipers?
That's correct, just added to the top and bled out at each wheel until it became pretty obvious the only stuff coming out was fresh.
You saved me a lot of heart ache. Great video!
Really good video I just got my 2015 jeep patriot I love it 4 x 4. I would like to put some of them skid plates in on it and do some stuff you. Dead to yours.
Car looks and sounds good. I enjoyed watching you working on it. Had a 95 V6 automatic in high school. Was fun to drive. Gonna be sad to see this car go.
On the plus side I have two more Mustangs to do stuff with & shuffling things around will hopefully get me back to having time to actually film 'em! Thanks for the supportive words.
You will have no problem selling your car Shovel looks and sounds amazing. I live on Vancouver Island and would seriously be interested as I’m looking for a car for my wife,the only concern would be she doesn’t want a Manual.
Thank you! The manual is something you'd have to want, for sure - it's not for everyone. Thankfully no real bumper to bumper traffic where I live so it's fun more often than it's not here.
Do you have a link for the hub centric rings you used to make the grand Cherokee wheels work?
Sure - they're 67.1mm (the hub of the Patriot) to 71.5mm (the bore of the wheels) - amzn.to/4crstH8 You might also need VERY thin wheel spacers just on the front if your brakes graze the wheel. I found mine just barely touched the wheel after I put new pads on (the new pad thickness moved the caliper slightly) so I got 3mm spacers with the same 67.1mm center bore and put them behind the rings.
Then the CVT transmission heats up and craps out
🤣 gotta change that sauce once in a while!
@@shoveI Once in alot of whiles
Did excellent job braking it down, straight facts and nice conversation. Keep it going bro !
Best Patriot review on RUclips.
Thank you!
These were terrible in sleet and snow, even in 4wd. It's no wonder they dont have a mountain snowflake symbol. Might be good in southern TX or AZ, but not where it snows often.
I got a 2010 jeep Patriot 2in lift what max size tires could I fit without having issue.
Same as in the video, the lift doesn't change that 😀
@@shoveI ok cool thanks
Those Bilstein can go up to 1.5 inch of lift?
The OE replacement size Bilsteins have trivially more travel than stock (like 10mm or something if I remember correctly) and have no problem with a 1.5" lift, you still have the full range of motion as stock, at least until your coils stack. We found out over the years that there's not much to gain from increasing travel on these trucks because what little extra capability you get in the short term it just ends up chewing out your radius arm bushings. So the little bit of extra height helps keep your transfer case and rocker panels a bit farther from the ground and keeps 33"+ tires from rubbing on compression as much.
Do they make them with leather?
These guys don't, I'm pretty sure they're focused on cost here. TMI (tmiproducts dot com) makes leather Mustang seats, they're a bit more $ but a lot more choices.
Absolutely stellar video/ channel packed with loads of ideas and info, I just bought a 2015 North Edition with 59k Km’s just 1 month ago and appreciate the content you have put into these. Great job! Thanks
Thank you!! 59k km's is barely getting started
You can also feel the exhaust manifold on a cold start with your bare hand. It's pretty easy to tell a cold pipe from a hot one
A regular temp gun also works, just point it at each cylinder and compare temps. The visual is nice, and can tell you a lot faster though.
So for my 2010 patriot stock 16in Wheels I can get away with 235 70r16, mine is lifted 2in also
Just trying to see whats the biggest i can fit this helps out a lot
hey great vid. can u give me ur insta i wanna share w u a vid of my engine i want ur experience if it's normal of not
those are nice! i got a new set of corbeau sport seats for my 01 gt droptop for 1k ,and there all leather WOW!!! love them!! i did have to get ebay bracketts though .and mod them to work.
This makee me want CJ to do a music video where they are rocking out in a corporate kitchen/breakroom while office peeps are trying to make their coffee around them.
This is music to my ears 😌
Very informative vid, even though I don’t drive a Jeep Patriot. Also, I love the diabeetus seat covers lol
Very punk rock!
Good info, thanks! I've got the black on black wheels and so far so good.
I never understood how big ass flowmaster mufflers drone, but something like dynomax race bullets or just regular resonators dont drone as bad. I know the intention is to just remove drone on those but they're straight through mufflers with just glasspacking, not a big muffler.
if you dont have resonators that is why you are droning and flowmasters just drone normally
HOT DAMN THAT THING SCREAMS
You think what’s bad is the drone? Did you see your car?
Respect all builds man
where urs at.
Why are you car kink shaming 😔
Found ULTIMOX 226 on e-bay for $19.95 - $10 less than Amazon.
What's the rest of the setup, and does it have full tailpipes? I watched a video comparing the Original 40s to the Delta 50s and the 50s were almost a loud outside the car but a lot more quiet inside the car, almost no drone. Throw those on if you want to keep the Flowmaster sound.
94 cobra intake manifold, 1.72 rollers, stock cam, e7 heads, ford performance headers, bbk catted midpipe, 2.5" from the collectors to the big chome tips. The previous owner installed the flowmaster 44's, the rest is work I did while rehabilitating the car. These things drone like crazy from the high 1000's to the high 2000's (rpm) inside, outside, anywhereside. I have delta flow 50's on my v6 and they have zero drone. Can't compare a v6 to a v8 of course... anyway as soon as I have the spare $$ to lose these things they're going anywhere else but here and I'll pick up something a whole lot quieter.
@@shoveI If you don't need the exact Flowmaster sound, look into Hooker Aerochambers. They're a straight through muffler with a sort of chambered design, they sound really good and very minimal drone.
Also yes I know one of my rockers needs to be adjusted.. and 150 other little things :)
mine too man. 95 gt, some type of flowmaster exaust on it too lol. but its just random little thing after random thing honestly never know what to expect. they were built so solidly that its never the part you'd expect to be the first to fail lol
I have the sister tires to yours... General Grabber APT. They're fine except in wet or snow. So I was considering the tires you have. I'm also in Spokane and I also drive down to the Arizona regularly. If not these tires, what would you get instead? I was thinking of the Conti TerrainContact HT version as they're better all around and will work fine for my F150 and travel.
That's unfortunate to hear about the Grabber APT because unlike these the APT's were given the 3 peak mountain snowflake doodad so I'd expect them to be better. I have Kumho AT51's on my pretend Jeep and while they don't seem to be quite as wear resistant as the Continentals they're in a whole other league on packed snow and light ice. I'd consider them on my truck just because I know what to expect for better or worse. They're the closest thing to magic braking on wet or dry pavement, if I had to complain about anything they'll scrub a bit more than I like on a freeway cloverleaf. That might be my fault for asking too much. They're made in Vietnam. Previously I had Cooper STMaxx on this truck which did surprisingly well in the worst winter weather I could find, but dang those things got noisy in the second half of their life and started wearing like they were made out of corn flakes after the first year. Real shame because when they were good they were great. The other tires I'd seriously look at are Falken AT4W's because everyone seems to love those things, they seem to tick all the boxes. They're made in Thailand. Also the Michelin Agilis Crossclimate looks real promising and LT sizes are made in the USA for the North America market.
Hey thanks for the feedback. I will take a look at your suggestions. I've heard good things about the Falken AT3/4. Same for the Nokian Outpost NAT tires. Both seem to be pretty off-road centric though. Two other tires I'm considering that are a bit more aggressive than the Continental AT's are the Vredestein Pinza AT and the Yokohama G015. I've got to run an LT tire on this truck for towing and my truck camper. The APT's are a load C which is what Ford calls for on my truck. But that load rating is hard to find. And I'm reluctant to go down to an SL rated tire. So I'm searching for the load E tires that are like the Continental's.
I hear the whine sound on yours to thats crazy. I thought my tranny pump was going out😢
This was great. I wanted the last box shaped Jeep that was less that $200 a month lol. Got the 2017 and this is excellent info.
What would happen if I drive my 2014 jeep patriot without the front cv axles?? I just removed the front driver side and now I got no gears... No park, reverse, or drive
The differentials at both ends are open so if one axle is missing there would be no torque transfer.
@@shoveI Soo, my Jeep MUST HAVE the CV Axles or it ain't going no where... Correct??
I have to admit I hadn't considered that... I'd just put the axles in it?
Excellent music choice, this is exactly how we lifted Mark's 86 Bonneville back in highschool.
