Where it says 2000 service manual won't work ? I may be missing something.... Nope, it works. I"m missing something. :yes: Alexia's link works too. The download file sizes are different though...... They are different documents. Alexia's link is for the electronic version of the FSM. The other link looks to be a high quality scan of the printed version. Just to be safe, I downloaded both.

Got it. Muchas gracias, caballero!

Is there a source anywhere to download a copy of the factory service manual for the 2000 XJ? (Or 1999 or 2001 would be about as good -- I doubt they changed much in those years.)

Does NOT work for me. As I said above, when I right click there is no option to open in a new tab.

apparently (from what I've been told) some later years could have been had with the 44 under a short bed (some sort of offroad package?). but only long beds had the metric ton package. My '87 Pioneer is a shortbed with a Dana 44. I bought it from the daughter of the original owner, so I'm 99.937% certain it's the factory axle.

Welcome back, Stranger. And congratulations on the newborn and the upcoming nuptials. We expect updates ... on the 'Manche, and the kiddo.

Doesn't even mention if it's 4WD. Being in Florida, probably not.

Yes, that is correct. One site often suggested as a replacement is imgur.com. Just found this on another forum: So, imgur.com isn't an option, and Amazon Prime isn't an option. I'm still looking.

I don't know what you guys are using as your browser. I use Firefox. When I right click one of those blocked images, it just opens the same image in another page of the same tab. I am not offered any option to open in a new tab.

Buying a club account, on Photobucket or anywhere else, doesn't solve the problem that all the photo links in old posts are dead. Move or copy the images to a new hosting service, and the links will still be dead unless and until someone goes into each and every post with images and manually edits the links.

That wouldn't surprise me, either, and it also won't surprise me if all those companies go out of business rather quickly. What they fail to grasp is that the end users have come to expect the Internet to be basically free. We all know that it costs a company money to maintain servers and to provide a service, but nobody asked them to offer us free photo hosting. They came to us and said, 'Here it is -- use it!" So we did. Then they started piling on with advertisements. Yeah, okay, the ads pay for the service, we get that. But when they piled on so many ads that they interfered with the usability of the service, the use of ad blockers became a self defense mechanism for the users. If Photobucket had not been so greedy about the way they managed the ads on their site, users wouldn't have needed ad blockers. So now Photobucket can't make [enough] money from ads, so they want to charge the end users. But the amount they decided on simply isn't reasonable. All it's going to do is drive people away. And I can't escape the thought that this is ultimately what they want -- to get rid of the pesky freeloaders (like most of us) who only have a few hundred or a few thousand images hosted under the [formerly] free service so they can devote their server space to the photo and video professionals who have far too many images hosted to even think about downloading them and moving them elsewhere. I think more people are going to start hosting their own photos. We can sign up for our own web hosting, with lots of server space, five or ten or more dedicated e-mail addresses, and technical support for creating our own, personal web site for a LOT less than $399 a year. Photobucket is just going to push more people to do that sooner than they would otherwise have done so.

This does not work for me. I'm running Firefox as my browser, what are you using?

This is why I have never liked or trusted the concept of "cloud" computing. Sure, it's convenient -- when it works, and the "cloud" is available. But once they get you hooked on "the cloud," they can change the terms of service and jack up the price at will, and you're held hostage. I agree with Yellaheep -- the damage this has done to the Internet community is incalculable.

CPS was my first thought. I guess I'll call the dealer tomorrow.

Does anyone know if there's a source for those (or similar -- also needed for the gas tank) J-bolts?

No distributor on the 2000 XJ. Coil pack went bad maybe five years ago. Threw codes all over the place. No codes for the CPS?

You can use the front axle from a ZJ Grand Cherokee (1993 thru 1998) or a TJ Wrangler. You can use the transmission and transfer case from a YJ or TJ Wrangler, but the transfer case may be "clocked" wrong and hit the tranny tunnel in the MJ. And you may need to get creative with the transfer case shift linkage.

2000 Cherokee 4.0L, 127,000 miles. Stopped at a McDonald's for a drink. Pulled out onto the street, drove half a block, and it died about three car lengths before a traffic light. Wouldn't restart -- just cranked, no fire. Check engine light came on. Had Triple-A tow me home. Hooked up scanner -- NO CODES! Turned the key, and it started right up. No more check engine light. Any thoughts? Now I don't know if I dare drive it or not. And none of my other vehicles are running at the moment.

There was a factory no bumper location? Yes.

Seatbelts and retractors are also MJ specific, IIRC. It has a chrome grille -- what does it have for a gauge cluster?

That's minor. The big problem is remembering all the forums and all the posts where you have images, and going back to edit every link to an image. And ... many forums don't allow users to edit their posts after a short time-out period. This is a nightmare, and it's going to create a LOT of pain for a LOT of people. I "only" have 230 images on Photobucket, but they're scattered among roughly 20 albums. It took me three evenings to download all my albums -- and that just gets them onto my hard drive as .ZIP files. I still have to unzip them, find a new place to host them, upload them to the new host, and then cruise three or four forums to find all my old posts with images -- and see if I'm allowed to get into the old posts to edit the links. Piece of cake. So how was your day?

The only way to retain the height sensing valve is to retain the original MJ front distribution block. The front distribution block has to have two outlets, one for the primary rear brake circuit and one for the bypass circuit. The XJ/ZJ/WJ proportioning valves don't have a secondary outlet. You could eliminate the bypass circuit, and just run the one line to the height sensing valve. That will work fine as long as you don't have a problem with the front brakes. If you lose the front circuit, though, instead of getting full power to the rear brakes you'll only get as much (or as little) as the height sensing valve is allowing. If the bed isn't loaded, that's probably not very much.

Then I suspect the clutch, not the tranny. Tranmissions don't usually "tick" when they go bad, anyway.

If I were doing it, I would first pull everything out of the good truck, clean and paint the inside of the engine compartment, then swap over the 4.0L wiring harness first. I'd do the engine and drive train last, after the harness is all in place.
