2000 XJ belt, filter, and AT fluid.
I'd like to change the serpentine belt on my 2000 XJ 4.0L. Left hand drive,
with AC. Is the this belt released with a standard tensioner pulley or is
there another method? (Power steering pump bolt?). On my 99 XJ, I had to
release the tension with a bolt on the power steering pump.
Is the fuel filter still 'lifetime' in the form an in-tank strainer? I can't
seem to locate a filter on partsamerica.
Also, I'll be changing the trans fluid. Is there a drain bolt for the torque
converter? If not, I have devised a plan to change all the fluid. Basically,
I'm going to disconnect the stock cooler lines, put the 'out' line into a 2
gal bucket, and fill a 1 gal bucket with ATF. I'll put the 'In' line in that
full bucket. Start the Jeep, and let it and cycle the gears untill the 1 gal
bucket is nearly full. After that I'll drop the pan and change the filter.
Does this sound reasonable?
Do the AW4 and NP242 used in 2000 still take Mercon-Dexron III
Thanks..

Re: 2000 XJ belt, filter, and AT fluid.
BELT REPLACEMENT OR ADJUSTMENT-LEFT HAND DRIVE
Belt tension is adjusted at the power steering pump bracket and idler pulley
assembly.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
(2) Loosen idler pulley bolt at the power steering bracket (Fig. 53).
(3) Loosen adjusting bolt until belt can be removed from pulleys.
(4) Remove belt.
INSTALLATION
(1) Check condition of all pulleys.
CAUTION: When installing the serpentine accessory drive belt, the belt MUST
be routed correctly. If not, the engine may overheat due to the water
pump rotating in the wrong direction. Refer to (Fig. 47) (Fig. 48) (Fig. 49)
(Fig. 50) for correct belt routing.
(2) Install new belt.
(3) Using serpentine belt tension gauge, tighten adjusting bolt until belt
reaches proper tension. Refer to Belt Tension at the rear of this section
for proper belt tension.
(4) After belt is tensioned correctly, tighten idler pulley bolt to 47 N·m
(35 ft. lbs.)
(5) After idler pulley has been tightened into position, recheck belt
tension. Adjust if necessary.
I do not know for sure what ATF you should use but the recent TSB on ATF+4
states it is the current fluid spec for all Jeep automatic transmissions
except the AW4, call the dealership for the current spec fluid
recommendation.
The current SelecTracs (nv242) use ATF+4
There hasn't been a drain in Torque Converters for some time. If you want
to exchange 'all' the fluid you will have to do it 4 quarts at a time.

Re: 2000 XJ belt, filter, and AT fluid.
Thanks for the info, Billy. Using the line in the bucket trick won't work to
exchange all the fluid? I suppose I could just check the dipstick for the
fluid reccomendation...

Re: 2000 XJ belt, filter, and AT fluid.
Thanks for the info, Billy. Using the line in the bucket trick won't work to
exchange all the fluid? I suppose I could just check the dipstick for the
fluid reccomendation...

Re: 2000 XJ belt, filter, and AT fluid.
It came with DexronIIE/Mercon but I think Dexron is on the outs now as
fluids go... I think it would be best to have the parts guy look up in the
computer what fluid is now the current spec...... assuming you want a better
fluid if one is available...
The transfer case came with either DexronII or ATF+3, the current spec is
ATF=4 on the nv242 but I assume you can use any of the above. The capacity
is 1.4 qts
I suppose using the tranny pump will work.... I'm guessing you'll have to
prime the tubing and make sure the height difference isn't too great.
The AW4 capacity is 8.25 qts....

Re: 2000 XJ belt, filter, and AT fluid.
It came with DexronIIE/Mercon but I think Dexron is on the outs now as
fluids go... I think it would be best to have the parts guy look up in the
computer what fluid is now the current spec...... assuming you want a better
fluid if one is available...
The transfer case came with either DexronII or ATF+3, the current spec is
ATF=4 on the nv242 but I assume you can use any of the above. The capacity
is 1.4 qts
I suppose using the tranny pump will work.... I'm guessing you'll have to
prime the tubing and make sure the height difference isn't too great.
The AW4 capacity is 8.25 qts....
