Hello -
Working on a new project for my daughter, a 2001 Jeep XJ Cherokee. Got a great deal on it, considering it is pretty much rust free. It does need paint, which I have blown the thing apart to do it correctly.
I would like to go through and replace many of the fasteners that are cruddy looking on trim, etc. Mopar part numbers are easy to find, but is there any known cross reference guide from a mopar part number to a standard screw size? Would save me having to measure each one and cross reference. I guess I got spoiled from all the fastener kits for the old cars, you really dont have to think about that, just buy the kit.
Thanks. Rob

The cataloging is hit and miss on fasteners. Sometimes they show them as not serviced separately. Sometimes dimensions are listed, sometimes not. What I used to do when I was a parts guy at the dealer was to just go through all of our parts bins/drawers to find something. Was usually successful doing that. You will not find listings at all at parts stores for dimensions, locations, quantities etc for vehicle fasteners. The closest I ever came up with, when working at the stores, was head bolt and wheel stud listings in the Dorman catalog.

OE stuff can have special coatings[ for corrosion], flanged heads, pilot tips on the ends, smaller heads, captive washers etc. Generally no reason you can't use generic stuff if thats all you can source. Just watch your hardness ratings and fastener placements. If its around a cooling jacket, maybe go stainless. Same on exhaust.

make sure when using stainless you do two things. 1 : make sure to use a good grade from a good company such as ARP 2 : use lots of anti-seize to prevent thread galling.
