Grand Cherokee OWNERS: Replace the "lifetime" filter and fluid in your ZF 8HP Transmission

Описание: Go give my IG   / iambigsteveodiy   a follow for behind the scenes and new content alerts!

This is part 1 of the ZF 8HP Transmission Fluid and Filter Change on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is the 8HP70 for the Hemi, but that variant shouldn't matter as it's the 8HP that the same.

I tear into the procedure learning and overcoming obstacles as they come as there's no video showing how to do so on the Grand Cherokee. I included links below to the products I purchased for this service, the rest of the tools I used were things I had already acquired along the road.

You will need the following tools:
13mm socket
15mm deep socket
8mm male hex socket
10mm male hex socket
T40 Torx socket
3" or so socket extension
Socket wrench
Breaker bar
Impact Driver (optional to speed up process)
General shop tools and supplies like jack, jack stands, gloves, towels, drain pan, patience

I bought this stuff with my own money, but using the Amazon Affiliate links below will offer a kickback to me if you buy this product.
