There was a recall that had to do with the shifter for my 96 GC Laredo. I had the dealer do it a couple of years ago for free...

I have had the same problem on my 04 grand cherokee. I hit a bump in the road and it soundss like something is loose.....when it does that, you can feel it through the seat, especially on the passenger side. I first thought it was the muffler. I just bought new shocks. I thought it was the shocks. I took a crowbar to everything underneith to see if something was loose...I thought it was the ball joints? It turns out to be the damn cheap swaybar bushing that jeep put on it. Look at the ends of the front and rear sway bars. There are links holding them on. Those stupid bushing are most likely bad. It cost me $200 to have someone fix. You could do it yourself, but I am not sure where to get the correct parts. I also didn't want to be bothered. Good luck.

U should have the accuracy of the gauge tested before u spend any more money on this, factory gauges are not very accurate. U are still in the normal zone though no matter what the other expert says, and jeep Cherokee's run hotter than 195 due to how small the engine bay is, my friend and fellow tech works for a jeep dealer and says hot running on V6's and overheating esp on the V8's is a common issue even on new trucks.

Poor grounding can cause many of the conditions you have listed. When checking power with a volt meter, this goes unnoticed because the meter does not draw enough amperage to cause the bad connection to break contact. Your battery is grounded to the engine block and also has a small lead to the fender. Many components have individual ground leads as well (including most computers) I would check all ground leads and clean the contact surfaces with sandpaper or a wire brush. Adding an additional ground wire is a good idea as well. Don't forget that the dash board frame must also provide a good ground as well.
Many times this is all you need to do...sometimes though, control modules can be damaged because in having a partial ground, they build up heat, due to additional resistance in the circut.
This may or may not cure your problem, but it's worth checking out. Grounding is often overlooked, especially if it has not completely broken down.
