Hi,This is my first question(s) here. I have a 2000 4 door XJ with the 4.0, automatic trans. My old Jeep is a 97 XJ with the 4.0, manual trans. and is a 2 -door with the up-country package. Aside from not beeng able to use the transmisson and the front/rear differentials, are there any other drive train parts I can save off the 97' and use on the 2000? I.E. Transfer case, rear drive shaft, front drive shaft? Can I even use the engine out of the 97 in the 2000? I know the ignition system is different. Basicly I would just like to know what I can or can't use before I start taking parts off the 97'. Thank you very much guys.

Rear brakes locking
OK. 2000 XJ (cherokee sport w/ 9" rear drums). I recently replaced front pads and rear wheel cylinders, hardware and shoes. Thanks to this site, everything is correctly installed, working, and rears were adjusted. Replaced brake fluid; bled everything. Rears are locking up if I make a hard stop, even from slow speeds. What is going on?

Wondering if anyone knows if a front sway bar from a pre-97 cherokee will fit on a 2001 cherokee? I need a sway bar on the front of my Jeep and the previous owner had removed it completely. Thanks.

Haynes manual is ok for some things, but doesn't really help with others since it tries to cover every year in one manual.
The ballast resistor is for the fuel pump, which if you're having a no-crank situation, is not the cause of your issues.
Here's a link to a write-up I did a while back. One of the solutions/checks should get you back on the road, just follow them in order.

Hello again, I thank you for your help. I did take the neutral safety switch off and cleaned at as instructed. I reinstalled it and had a cranking 5 or 6 times and then it stopped again. I've concluded it does need the NSS replaced, however it costs $173.99 plus tax . Do you or anyone on here have a wiring diagram for the 6 wires on my NSS? I guess I'm just going to bypass it. Thanks.

how to clear cowl drains on 2000 XJ
I took the cowl off, but don't see the drains. Where are they and how do you clear these? My 2000 XJ collects water on the passenger floor after rains, especially when parked with the nose uphill (I have a sloped driveway).

The other day I was replacing my thermostat and the top bolt snapped flush with the head. I drilled a pilot hole and tried an EZ out but it snapped off. What are my options?? Is there a way to fix this or will I have to take the head to a machine shop? Thanks

Rear Brakes still locking up
I get same brake action with my '99. Like you, I've rebuilt/replaced much. I think the rears lock-up because the front is binding/misbehaving and that it's causing forward weight transfer. I found something the other day that you may want to inspect for on yours. The front pad-slides should be clean and smooth but I found a divot (or a notch) at the upper-inboard pad slide on the passenger side. This may be causing the pad to "hang" rather than retract when my foot's removed off the brake pedal because it still feels like a brake is dragging slightly as I start-off, especially in stop/go traffic.
