Hi All,
​New forum member here and first post. I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport with 1995 engine which was set up with no electric fan and mechanical fan center-mounted on the water pump. I would like to put back per the stock setup and have run into an issue... When moving the fan to the idler pully (passenger side), the blades will not clear the water pump pulley. Is there a shorter water pump for the XJ, or longer fan clutch? Thanks for any info.

 

If you look at the water pump that Rockauto shows for a 2000 xj it look different and will need a new pully also .

 

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that also. Looks like the XJ water pump is lower-profile by maybe 3/4" or 1". Ordered a Mopar pump and found the correct pulley used on Ebay. That should sort it out. Thanks again.
