99 ZJ question

[CEThomas]

What 4.0 engine and trans came in the 99 ZJ?

 

I am looking a one that needs a engine and trans replaced, and when I looked on car-part.com they give a different 4.0 (vin S) then in the 98 ZJ ???

 

Thanks

No such thing as a 99 ZJ

 

Grand's:

93-98 ZJ

99-04 WJ

05+ WK

IIRC, it is a 4.0L HO, and a 42RE... Or at least in my '98 ZJ it is... Couldn't imagine much changed other than the WJ body style in '99.

Thanks Rob,

 

The price difference between the 98 4.0 and the 99 4.0 for me is $881. Just trying to figure out why the difference.

Did the 98 ZJ still have a distributor? I'm pretty sure the 99 WJ had individual coils on each spark plug. That might be the difference.

I'm pretty sure it was the 4.0 like the XJ until 2001.

I'm pretty sure it was the 4.0 like the XJ until 2001.

 

Except the XJ received coil packs in 2000.

The WJ went to the coil pack in 1999 on the 4.0. The XJ followed in 2000.

Then that's the difference.

[aemsee]

there are some other differences as well. the WJ water pump had an extra bolt holding it to the block. some other bolt placements are different. Threaded holes in the head for holding the coil rail. A/c mounting was high on pass side on ZJ, low on driver side for WJ........

Thanks,

 

I will just let this one pass.
