Jeep Grand Cherokee Parts Catalog

I have stood at the parts counter and watched a guy hand over a VIN and get the wrong control arm bushings because somebody used a third-party cross-reference. That mistake costs you a week of downtime. This Jeep Grand Cherokee Parts Catalog is the factory document that tells you exactly what part number came on the truck. No guesswork. 514 pages of exploded diagrams and Mopar part numbers for the 2000 model year. If you are ordering a caliper for a 4.0L or a skid plate for a 4×4, you need the OEM reference, not a reprint from a seller who never touched a Grand Cherokee.

VIN Plate Decoding – Get the Right Part the First Time

Page 1 of this catalog lays out the full VIN plate decoding for every 2000 Grand Cherokee. Position 5 tells you if it is a 4×2 or 4×4, left-hand or right-hand drive. Position 8 lists the engine codes: 3.1L turbo diesel (EXA), 4.0L gas (ERH), 4.7L gas (EVA). I have seen guys order a radiator for a 4.7L when the VIN said 4.0L because they relied on a generic catalog. That mistake wastes half a Saturday. This document gives you the official DaimlerChrysler codes so you match the part to the chassis.

Mopar Accessories – Factory Part Numbers for Add-Ons

Group 1 covers component parts for Mopar accessories – everything from the FM-modulated player kit (Fig. 1-110) to the rock rail guard (Fig. 1-1010). If you are adding a navigation kit, a roof-mounted bike carrier, or a skid plate package, the illustrations show every bracket, bolt, and wiring harness. Aftermarket accessory kits often skip the little clips and spacers. This catalog lists them. You will find the cabin air filter kit (Fig. 1-315) and the security alarm module (Fig. 1-910) – parts a parts counter might tell you do not exist.

Front Suspension & Drive Axle – Specs for 4×2 and 4×4

Group 2 covers front suspension springs, control arms, stabilizer bar, track bar, and the front axle housing – both 2WD and 4WD versions. If you need the front axle assembly for a Dana 30 or the skid plate that protects it, the exploded diagram and part numbers are in Fig. 2-410 and Fig. 2-810. The catalog also breaks out the front axle differential – open or Trac-Lok – so you order the correct ring and pinion set. No mixing up 3.55 and 3.73 ratios because you guessed.

Rear Axle – Dana 35C and Dana 44 Coverage

Group 3 gives you the rear axle housing, differential, vent, and shafts for both the Dana 35C (194mm) and the Dana 44 (226mm). The catalog shows the Trac-Lok and Vari-Lok progressive differential parts in Fig. 3-230 and Fig. 3-250. If you are rebuilding the rear end, you need the exact bearings and seals from these pages. 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK WH Factory Service Manual covers the service procedures, but this parts catalog is what you bring when you order the hardware.

Brake System – Calipers, Hoses, and Master Cylinder

Group 5 lists front disc brake calipers – Continental Teves and Akebono – plus the rotors, rear disc brake calipers, power brake booster, master cylinder, and every brake line from the right front to the rear. Fig. 5-110 shows the front caliper and rotor assembly with separate part numbers for left and right. If you are swapping in a new hydraulic control unit (Fig. 5-420), the catalog includes the bracket and fittings that the aftermarket usually omits.

Why OEM Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket

I have owned a shop for fifteen years. Every time a tech brings me a part from a generic cross-reference, there is a 20% chance it is wrong. This catalog was printed by DaimlerChrysler for the 2000 WJ. The exploded diagrams are factory line-art, not scanned and sharpened. The VIN plate decoder on page 1 matches what you see stamped on the dash. For reference on broader vehicle identification standards, see Automotive Industry Overview. And if you are dealing with battery-related components, Automotive Battery offers background, but stick to the factory part numbers for replacements.

This catalog does not cover 2001 or later models. It is year-specific. If you need earlier models, check these related manuals:

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this catalog for a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

No, it is only for the 2000 model year. Parts changed for 2001.

What is the difference between this parts catalog and a factory service manual?

A service manual tells you how to remove and install components with torque specs and diagnostic procedures. This parts catalog tells you the part numbers and exploded views for ordering. They work together: you use the service manual to do the work and this catalog to buy the parts. If you need both, pair this with the service manual for the same year. The VIN decoding on page 1 is unique to the catalog and is not found in the service manual.

This 514-page OEM document is the one you want on your tablet or printed out when you call the dealer. Stop relying on aftermarket databases that translate the VIN wrong. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep the right parts on your shelf.
