2000 has the 0331 cylinder head which tend to crack the first time your temp goes above 230 (common on a 4.0, they run hot)
all 4.0s after 99 have a redesigned intake manifold that flows better, and a different cam.
On paper, the 2000 has 10 more horsepower, otherwise there are very little difference.
