You would have to be able to reprogram the engine computer.
A 1991 Jeep Cherokee computer is what fits a 1991 Jeep Cherokee.
Most factory remotes have to be programmed into the vehicles computer by the dealership, and cost a fair amount to have done - something about security...
The engine computer is the voltage regulator in a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Will bolt up, but will not shift. The 1998 is controlled differently by the computer.

This is something that needs to be done by a qualified mechanics shop, auto electric facility or dealership.
take it to a dealership and have them hook it to the computer. it's the only way I know of.
take it to a mechanic he will reprogram it for you
You will need to reprogram the computer with an upgrade programmer.You will need to reprogram the computer with an upgrade programmer.
Not any more than your home computer would if you unplugged it. You will need to reprogram your radio stations again though.
Reprogram it.
I just replaced the ECM in my 2005 Escape & I did have to have a Locksmith come out & REPROGRAM the Key Codes into the computer. When You turn on your ignition, the red THEFT light will probably start flashing fast & the engine will not turn over. This means it doesnt like your key. Time to call the Locksmith or drag it to the dealership to get it reprogrammed.
Take to dealer as they have to reprogram with the computer. I have to do the same thing on mine.
Unfortunately there is a computer chip inside the Fob and even more unfortunately for your wallet this is something the dealership (stealership) needs to reprogram for you. It will be quick...but not painless. Yes, there will be an exchange of $$ involved.
get a new truck..... :)
