Wheel stud length is 1.5". Even then, there's still two different rotors to choose from. My only worry is once my jeep is on jack stands I don't have another vehicle to run back to the parts store haha..

Hmm all I see on NAPA are:
- cast vs. composite
- grooves vs. no grooves
- stud length

My parts fiche for 1998 lists Chrysler P/N V5015965 if that helps any. 2000 has a pile of different options listed like VCCA6434, V5016434AB, VXJ16434, and V5016434, but I have no idea what the differences are. However all those parts are listed for 4WD LHD models. The min. thickness on the parts at NAPA match up with my 1999 FSM, unfortunately none of these stupid things list the rest of the dimensions

Just wanted to let you know I got it working. I am not sure what the problem was. Cleaned up the harness connections and found some loose ground to engine nuts. Thanks for the help.

Easier method is to pull the fuel pump relay

Doing it that way means I'll need to pop the hood every time I. Get out of the jeep. I want a method I can do and hide it in the cab. Maybe under the seat or in a side panel or under the center console. But I'd obviously have it hidden.

Is it coolant? Hope it isn't a freeze plug. Or power steering fluid?

Fair enough, you don't need to actually pull the relay though. An in-cab switch to open the circuit on the low side of the relay is good enough. See these threads:

Sounds like a fitting on your power steering system is leaking and blasting fluid everywhere. Is the level okay?
