Hey just wondering if you installed that filter yet? I talked to my friend who is a tech at the local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer. He confirmed that some 1999-2001 4.0 Cherokees did indeed come without an external fuel filter. Dumb system if you asked me.
He says this comes up alot, and there is a retro-fit kit from the dealer with correct mount, fittings, and OEM style filter. My buddy told me its a super common item, and their part department stocks 4-5 kits at any given time. Not sure what your aftermarket kit cost, but I'm sure the replacement filters for that thing are expensive.
If you are looking for a less expensive option (filter changes anyway), you might consider the OEM retro kit. Anyway, I hope either option ends up getting you back on the road man. Good luck.
