You are probably going to be looking at a"rear-end" job in the near future. The rear differential on my '99 1500 4x4, which is a Chrysler 9.25, just went out. When I removed the cover, I found the gears in pieces and a tooth missing from the ring gear. I actually have 171,000 miles on my truck, but from the research I've already done, they have been known to go out as early as 70,000. This is very dissapointing. I have changed my fluid regularly, also and not really been off roading. I use my 4x4 for the snow. Why would they put such a crappy differential in such a good truck? This job which I am going to let a pro handle, is probably going to run me $650 to $1000 for a used rear end. After that I am going to look for a new truck. Good luck with yours.

Do you shift 2000 Jeep Laredo into 4 wheel drive from stop or on the fly?

On the fly is not an option for 4 wheel low, you will have to stop the jeep and place in neutral before that change can be made. You are litterally moving pieces inside of your differential, so ther can be no other vehicle movement.
