just an FYI
the grand cherokee alternator WONT work on your 2000 like it will on 97-98's. I know this because I tried it on my 99. he plugs are different and the alternator itself just looks different on the back side.
you might be able to modify it and make it work but I dont think its worth it for the extra 10 amps of power. the 97 style is only 90 amps, the 99+ is 120 amp, the ZJ is 130 amp. if you ahd the 90 amp it'd be worth it especially since IT IS a bolt in swap on those models.
