What is the towing ability of a 1999 jeep cherokee

like 5 posts now, for on reason
you have no RKE fobs that work.
the only way to fix it now, is call the lock smith.
unless you have a brother that owns a tow truck?
the car is designed so no one can steal it, (and drive off)
by DESIGN.
the operators guide states all that, my guess you lost that too>?

Th e tow haul button is so if your towing a heavy trailer its easier on the tranny when you hit the button you generally dont need to use it for everyday regular driving.

A few parts should be interchangeable. Most of them will not be however since the Grand Cherokee underwent a complete re-design for 1999. Some engines and transmissions will switch out. The rear axle in the 97 was commonly a Dana/Spicer 35. This was replaced with a larger rear differential in 1999 for increased towing capacity. The wheels should interchange ok, power steering system was pretty much the same and as long as the hydraulics (supports) on the hood are the same length they should work

Not sure what you're asking so:
1999 cherokee has 195 HP, 230 lb ft Torque @ 3000 rpm, and is capable of towing 5,000 lb (2,300 kg).

YES!

2 wheel drive vehicles can be towed with all four whells on the ground for extended distances. Chrysler recommends a max speed of 30 MPH, but I know these vehicles can be towed at higher MPH. The 4x4 model Jeeps are the vehicles that are not recommended to be towed with all for wheels on the ground, but I know this too has also been done, but with drive shaft removal.

If it was ever towed with the wheels on the ground (not dollied) then the transfer case is probably "burned out" and you will need to replace it. These models of jeeps are full time 4WD and MUST be dollied or towed on a carrier or rollback type truck. Unless they have manual locking hubs.

You can. Elevate and tow from the rear wheels. Make sure you do not have 4wd engaged.

It sure sounds like a starter solenoid issue, they act just like that, had exactly the same concern on my car, no crank just clicks under hood, new starter solenoid contacts cured the problem. I don't know if your solenoid is rebuild-able or not, I think it is a Japanese starter so most likely it is.
