Just wondering what the difference was from an 04 jeep to an 05 jeep

gearing motor transmission or anything else that can affect gas mileage

Are you talking about Jeep KJ's?

I know the hood and bumper fascia changed. I think the 2005 year has the flatter rear seats when down. I could be wrong and those started in 2006.

They added the plastic guards along the bottom sides (where the sliders go).

More electronics, I believe.

The only differences between the 2004 and 2005 gaser KJs that I can tell (and I been under both) are the hood and front end fascia, the rocker panels, and internal stuff like switch placement and the a fore mentioned seats.

Both come with the 3.7L V6, 42RLE transmission, 3.73 ratio (with A/T) front Dana 30a (186 FIA) and rear Chrysler (Corporate) 29 spline 8.25" differentials, and NV231 (or NV242) transfer case.

The only place where there might be a mileage difference between 2004 and 05 is with the manual transmission which went from a 5-speed to a 6-speed or the fact that the change in fascia "might" improve mileage (but I would not count on the last fact...)

That is twice in the same threads that this misconception has been mentioned The hood is the same from 2002-2007 with the exception of the flat hoods (Renegade)

Here are the original part numbers:

2002, All -55177200AB
2003, All -55177200AC
2004, All -55177200AD
2005, Sport, Limited -55177200AF
2006, Sport, Limited -55177200AF
2007, All -55177200AF

That means there is a difference in the hoods from the `04 to `05 if the Renegade hoods are different. The `04's did not have flat hoods for the Renegades.

Nothing powertrain wise (except for the stick)...so no MPG change. ABS/ESP became standard in 06, but my 05 doesn't have any of it! :D

Another change is that in 05 (and 06) the CRD diesel was an option.
