Welp i got a package from napa yesterday. And also did something that was way harder than it shouldve been.
I will definitely let you know!Look forward in hearing how you like the new engine.
Hi, I just bought my first Jeep 2000 SE and also need to buy an engine. How much I’m I looking at to replace it? Are you happy with it? Mind me asking how much you paid for your Jeep?Took an expensive trip to napa today!! Engine is ordered, and should get it in the next couple weeks.
They said basically they had a lot of warranty claims, and it was costing them so they stopped carryingDid your Napa specify why they didn’t recommend the atk engines? Seems like a lot of places are selling them.
My engine came from s&j for $1450. Its also a $450 refundable core charge. Along with freight charges which depending on where you live, xan cost only $300 for delivery and core return. But a lot more if you live far from washington. I paid $5700 for my jeep not knowing the engine was on its way out.Hi, I just bought my first Jeep 2000 SE and also need to buy an engine.

The engine is really nothing special its just a stock 2.5. But so far it seems solid. And judging by reviews it will last a long time. Im very happy with it, if you dont mind the power of a 2.5My engine came from s&j for $1450. Its also a $450 refundable core charge.

Just tune up things. It comes with an oil pump but you gotta buy the pickup tube and install it into the pump. Also replaced plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, spark plugs, water pump, t-stat, o2 sensors, and clutch while i was at it. You can cut some corners, but be warned something may void your warranty. Lets say everything inluded was about $1650 including the engine. It was a fun job, but did have to save a while to do it.Ok thanks. Did you also replaced other things like pump...?

In my case the s&j engine was cheaper than the napa one. But yes, the motor is solid and has a much better warranty. I love my engineMy son bought a 2000 TJ that needs the motor replaced. Our local options are NAPA or direct from S&J. Is S&J worth to extra $$$?
Thanks! I’ve heard good things from S&J. Shipping cost is the price I pay for living in Alaska. You’re only 90 minutes from S&J on a good day, so you had free shipping If you didn’t get a ticket for going over 100mph on i90 People can say what they want about the good ol’ days, I drove i90 when it had stop lights!In my case the s&j engine was cheaper than the napa one.

oops, double post. nevermindYep if you are going to all that trouble you might as well drop a V-8 into it. While I'll admit I enjoy my V-8 there are times I miss the 4 popper.
