LOL a WJ is a whole different jeep. A jeep cherokee is an XJ as a grand cherokee is a ZJ and a new wrangler is a JK...

WJ - As the more bubble-shaped, aerodynamic replacement for the ZJ, it continues the Grand Cherokee name ('99-04).

Default Thank you

OK, I got it now. It was my wife's daily driver, and it started acting up this year, so I'm going to turn it into a plow rig and needed to learn more about what makes it tick to make it dependable, thanks people.
