it took me almost 2 years to find a clean 2000 at a good deal. Honestly I wanted a 98/99 but I had to compromise and get a 2000. I couldn't find a 98/99 that wasn't dogged out. The 00/01 have a aluminum head that is prone to cracking, and a low pinion Dana 30. But I will be doing a motor swap and axles. But the body is clean😄
Ole Roy I feel you, 99s are my favorite but they there are just a few for sale in a good condition. 👍🏻
2000/2001 do not have and aluminum hesd. It is a cast iron head. The problem is these 0331 casting heads had poor quality control and are prone to cracking. Especially when there is a problem with over heating as stated in this video.
That's rite. I got the bad head tho😔
Ole Roy did you swap your motor yet? I just finished my TJ LS swap and I think I want to swap an XJ next.
Bout time man ive been waiting for another video 👍
Beers nGearz thank you man! I was really busy last month 👍🏻
@@VehicleTribe I know man it's hard to keep up with making videos I've been slacking too
Video starts 1:02
The real MVP . One minute intros are annoying . Far too many times have I found another video to not have to filter out the intro to find the information .
I'm in 2.5 minutes and haven't seen any of the real video yet
Aloha from Hawaii!
Love your videos and I'm looking forward to seeing the next video
Thank you! More videos coming soon!
2000/2001 the heads Crack from overheating.
Perfect for LS swap lol
It wasnt the head gasket, it was the head. In late 99, Jeep changed the casting, to the notorious 0331 head. The casting is thin between cylinders 3 and 4, and tend to crack, causing overheating. However, this is easily solved, as heads are cheap, and any head will work on any 4.0 block. Also, you can pull a head in your driveway in just a couple of hours.
Yes , but will any head work on a 2000 - 2001 ?? Remember they have no distributor.... Are they not slightly different ?
@@davidtrevino5211 Yes. The bolt pattern and locations for the intake, exhaust, and head bolts are identical throughout. As for the differences between distributor and coil packs, that's simply wiring, as the dizzy goes on the engine, and the coil pack is plugged into the engine harness. However, the 2000, 2001 heads have lugs cast into them for the 2 bolts that secure the coil pack to the head. But my 98 head is on my 2000 block, with the coilpack, and it's plenty secure with just the boots on the spark plugs.
Hope this helps.
@@scottdoubleyou563 Yes, it really did. Thank you sooo much.. Much appreciated....

Do you work on it yourself of do you have a shop install the upgrades?
Oh my lord, I did THE SAME THING about the Mazda, now it’s sitting in my driveway dead and I can’t sell it
The sad part is rotary’s in general even the rx8 aren’t actually that unreliable. It’s just the need VERY extensive maintenance very frequently. That’s what people just don’t know. With premixing, the right oil, frequent oil changes they will stay pretty reliable but nobody knows to premix and didn’t know to change the oil every couple thousand miles so they bought the rx8 back whenever didn’t maintenance it correctly and then it blows up at 50k miles and is labeled “unreliable”
Welcome back
Hunter Wuesthoff thank you 🙌🏻
Just found your channel, great video and love the XJ, Thanks
1997 Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5TD with a little rust on the doorstep and on the mudguard for 3900€? It's a little bit expensive, or? What is the realistic price for it?
I'd say that's a little high. Unless they've added a good amount of aftermarket parts that you were going to buy yourself eventually.. $2500- $3000 is reasonable..
Un gran Saludo de México 💪💪💪
What year is your Jeep
If you watched the vid he says 2000 lol
what camera are you using ?
I'm new at this and I found a 1988 Cherokee. Any thoughts on it ? Has a rebuilt engine and my friends cousin is asking 6k for it
Why is the screen not flush?
Joe Kool it’s supposed to be like that. It won’t fit inside the plastic vessel.
By getting rid of rx8 means you ripped someone else off?
Not really, it ended up in a junk yard lol it had some good parts tho but the engine and transmission were shot
Haha fell in love with the WORST Mazda ever made lol
Whew shaky video
No one cares bro…
