cant go wrong with a inline 6cyl 4.0L.. the v8's they put inthose are gas hogs and the 4.0's last forever with regular maintenece... my cherokee is a 2000 and its goin on 140k... dont know much about the grand cherokees other than depending on what your friend wants to do with it... they made them with AWD and 4WD... and if he plans to lift it and offroad i think the transfercases in the AWD ones limit you to what you can mod down the line. like i said just some helpful info for ya but im not that hip on the grand cherokees because they did run different setups than the regular XJ cherokee
