Daimlerchrysler Grand Cherokee 2001 Parts Catalog – 414 Pages of OEM Part Numbers

You’ve got a 2001 Grand Cherokee on the lift, something’s broken, and you need the right part. Not a “compatible” part, not a “fits like” part — the exact OEM part that Daimlerchrysler bolted on at the factory. That’s where this Daimlerchrysler Grand Cherokee 2001 Parts Catalog earns its spot on your bench. 414 pages of factory-issued part numbers, exploded diagrams, and VIN-specific decoding. No aftermarket shortcuts, no “close enough” cross-references. If you’ve ever wasted a Saturday swapping a part that didn’t line up because some online catalog gave you the wrong number, you know why this matters.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

This isn’t a service manual — it doesn’t tell you how to torque a bolt or bleed brakes. It’s a parts catalog, which means it lists every bolt, bracket, bushing, and assembly that Daimlerchrysler used on the 2001 Grand Cherokee (WJ body). The Group structure is straightforward: Group 1 covers Mopar accessories (audio, carriers, exterior protection, fog lights, security, off-road rock rails). Group 2 hits front suspension and drive — control arms, stabilizer bars, axle shafts, differentials. Group 3 is the rear axle with Dana 35 and Dana 44 housings and differential variants (with and without Trac-Lok). Group 4 is parking brake cables and levers. Group 5 covers service brakes — calipers from Continental Teves and Akebono, master cylinder, hydraulic control unit, lines. Group 7 (radiator and related parts) is listed but the OCR didn’t capture the sub-items. Each group uses figure numbers (e.g., Fig. 2-110 for front suspension springs and control arms) to index the illustration pages. That’s how you find what you need: look up the figure, read the part numbers, order the part.

VIN Decoding: Why You Need It

Page 1 of this catalog gives you the VIN plate decoding table. Position 5 tells you if you’ve got a Grand Cherokee 4×2 (code X) or 4×4 (code W). Position 8 decodes the engine: S for 4.0L six-cylinder (ERH) or N for 4.7L eight-cylinder (EVA). Position 10 confirms model year 2001. Without this, you could order a front axle for a 4×2 when you’re working on a 4×4, or grab a 4.7L exhaust manifold when you’ve got the 4.0L. The catalog expects you to decode your VIN first — the part numbers listed in each figure are VIN-dependent. Not all 2001 Grand Cherokees are the same. This one page saves you from buying the wrong axle housing or differential.

7 Major Systems Broken Down

The catalog organizes the vehicle into seven main groups: Mopar accessories, front suspension and drive, rear axle, parking brake, service brakes, cooling. Each group contains multiple figures. For example, Group 2 front suspension includes Fig. 2-110 (springs and control arms), Fig. 2-120 (stabilizer and track bar), Fig. 2-210 (axle shafts), Fig. 2-310 and 2-320 (front axle housings for 2WD and 4WD), Fig. 2-410 (axle assembly), Fig. 2-610 (differential), and Fig. 2-810 (skid plate). Rear axle Group 3 has similar depth — Dana 35 and Dana 44 differential variants, with or without Trac-Lok. The part numbers are printed directly next to each component in the diagrams. You don’t have to cross-reference a separate list.

OEM vs Aftermarket Parts Catalogs

I’ve used third-party parts catalogs. They renumber parts, merge superseded numbers without notes, and sometimes omit components that only appear in certain VIN ranges. This catalog was printed by Daimlerchrysler for their own dealership parts departments. Every part number originates from the same source that built the truck. If the catalog says the front brake caliper for a Continental Teves system is Fig. 5-110, and your VIN calls for Akebono (Fig. 5-120), you see both options. Aftermarket catalogs usually lump them together under “front caliper” and leave you to figure out which one your vehicle actually has. Downloading the factory catalog means you’re holding the same document a dealer parts counter uses. That’s the difference between getting it right the first time and standing in line at the return counter.

Audience: Not Just for Dealerships

If you’re a home garage guy rebuilding a beat-up WJ, or a shop tech who works on Jeeps every week, this catalog pays for itself the first time you avoid a wrong part. You don’t need to be a master technician to read it — just know your VIN and navigate the figure index. The catalog also covers Mopar accessories (Group 1): bike carriers (roof mount, hitch mount, fold down), ski racks (two-pair, four-pair, six-pair), skid plates, brush guards, running boards, fog lights, cellular phone mounting kits, and the EVS Plus alarm system. That’s useful if you’re adding or replacing factory options and want the original brackets and hardware. Plus, if you need to decode a non-standard part, check our Automotive Industry Overview for general VIN structure, or if you’re cross-referencing battery specs, see Automotive Battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded diagrams. Torque values are in the factory service manual for the 2001 Grand Cherokee.

How do I find the part number for a front axle shaft?

Go to Group 2, Fig. 2-210. The diagram shows the left and right front axle shafts with individual part numbers. Make sure you decode your VIN first (page 1) to confirm 4WD vs 2WD — the shafts differ. The part number for a 4WD left shaft is listed directly on the figure.

Will this catalog help me identify which differential I have?

Yes. Figure numbers in Group 3 separate Dana 35 and Dana 44 housings, and differentials with and without Trac-Lok (DSA) or Vari-Lok. Look at Fig. 3-230 (Dana 35 without Trac-Lok), Fig. 3-240 (Dana 35C/1 with Trac-Lok), Fig. 3-250 (Dana 44/226 M without Trac-Lok), and Fig. 3-260 (with Trac-Lok or Vari-Lok Progressive). Compare your axle to the diagram.

Is this the same PDF that dealerships use?

Yes. It’s a direct scan of the original Daimlerchrysler 2001 WJ parts catalog used by Jeep dealership parts departments. The file is dated 2001 and contains 414 pages. No aftermarket editing or renumbering.

If you’re ordering parts for a 2001 Grand Cherokee and you’re sick of guessing which brake caliper or axle shaft fits, stop guessing. Access the Factory Manual and get the exact OEM numbers off of page 1 — the VIN decode — before you order anything. One look at the diagram, one match to your VIN, and you’ll know. That’s what a real parts catalog does.
