Re: 1999 and newer Jeep Wrangler question...
One improvement to the 4.0 that I know of around that time was the
revision of the oil filter boss housing; it used to be a 2-piece assembly with a problematic O-ring between the boss and the engine block. They finally changed the block casting and machined into it, an oil filter boss that is one integral piece eliminating the O-ring and associated leakage problems. Also, I *believe* that in 99 they went to the coil-on-plug assembly, eliminating secondary ignition wiring. Small stuff, but a good deal for buyers. |

The year for the coil on plug was 2000. My 99 had a distributor, my 00 does

Two inevitable problems of the 97 TJ were the exhaust manifold cracking and the air conditioning evaporator leaking. Design flaws took a few years to correct, not sure if it was 1999. |
